Cities are the perfect place to discover hip restaurants and bars. But sometimes you just want to have a local beer in a pub, don’t you? These pubs are low-threshold meeting places, where it is easy for visitors to have a chat with locals. In other words: they are very convivial places!
Ghent has a wide range of great beer pubs with cosy brown interiors. They are all no-nonsense, convivial and welcoming. You can try a delicious Belgian beer, or even a true Ghent beer from one of the city’s breweries. Make it a completely traditional experience by ordering a portion of Ghent head cheese with local Tierenteyn mustard. Looking for something special? In the café De Dulle Griet, you have to hand in a shoe before you can try the house beer Max.
