The citizens of Ghent are convivial people, hence the abundance of traditional authentic pubs in the city: beer pubs with a beautiful wooden interior that exudes the atmosphere of "the good old days”. This is where you go for a good pint of beer (maybe even one that is brewed in one of the city's own breweries) and for a chat with your friends. Do you want to have a MAX beer from a genuine coach glass in De Dulle Griet? Make sure to put on clean socks, for you have to hand in a shoe as collateral.
