Traveler reviews
Aiden Bush
★★★★★2 months agoMy girlfriend and I had an amazing time here. The owner, Olivier, was incredibly kind and welcoming, and honestly made this one of the highlights of our trip. When he found out my girlfriend liked olives, he brought out an entire bowl for us. He clearly cares about creating a great experience for everyone who walks in. The drinks were creative, unique, and absolutely delicious. If you are visiting Ghent, Jiggers is a place you should not miss!

★★★★★7 months agoMy husband and I are cocktail enthusiasts who travel the world to experience some of the best cocktail bars (we’re talking about top 50-100 bars GLOBALLY), and I’m confident in saying that Jigger’s is the best cocktail bar in Ghent. It’s especially enjoyable when you sit at the bar and chat with the owner, learning all the bits and bobs behind his creations. Everything we ordered from the rotating menu was fantastic, with layers of complexity in every drink. I was too busy enjoying the cocktails and their ingredients to take proper photos.
