You don't go to the Kulminator to just get a beer. You go to the kulminator for an experience. The…read moreKulminator is not your average bar. It is an icon and a perfect expression of magic of the human presence on this planet. The owners could not be more real and the beer list is unmatched. Ever tried a lachouffe from '87? You can get it there if the owner can find it in his beer dungeon. Try a slice of smoked cheese! Listen to the owner and his wife fight. Talk to beer snobs, tourists, locals if you can find a spot among all the junk that is piled on top of the chairs and tables. Don't expect to be pampered. Just go there to be amazed and bask in the ambiance of a genuine Belgian beer experience!

Do not go here. Weird, rude owner that won't let you in unless you say the right thing. We watched…read morea guy try to go back in after smoking a cigarette to continue hanging out with his friends. The owner told him he left and couldn't come back. The city is gross, parking is near impossible and this owner is the worst of the worst, I honestly can't believe he is allowed to do "business". Do yourself a favor and go to Bruges, kinder people, a fairytale environment and the best fries and waffles you'll ever have.

I first visited The Little One almost 18 years ago on my first trip to The Netherlands. It is the…read moreoldest bar in Eindhoven - and probably the smallest. Spacious is definitely not a word that describes this place! However, what it lacks in space it makes up for in character. They have a selection of whiskeys/malts that would satisfy most purists. Oh, and there is a lot of "stuff" hanging all over the walls and ceiling. Like musical instruments and farming tools. In here you will not find flat panel TVs or loud music like you find in other pubs/cafés. But you will find an interesting mix of patrons and one hell of a barman - who happens to be the owner. Wil Lange knows all about service - and a lot about whiskey and cocktails. He will take good care of you while you sit and chat with the locals and visiting foreigners. I noticed recently that The Little One has a presence on the internet now. They have their own Instagram account and a Facebook fan page with quite a following of loyal fans. They may brand themselves as a speakeasy bar now, but this place will always be a dive bar to me. Don't let that prevent you from visiting a place with great atmosphere and good people.

I don't even remember where I heard about this place, but it might be the original Dutch Dive bar…read more Living up to it's name, it has room for some 10 people at the bar and maybe 15 more standing. The bar is brown and smoking is not disallowed. The bartender has been working for something like 50 years, so this guy's got stories. Stop on by, but don't expect a great crowd. For the English speakers:probeer eens iets Nederlands spreken en misschien dat helpen.

If you love Delirium, you'll love this multi-level compound style pub…read more This is absolutely a must visit for any craft beer lover, especially Delirium. They've got so many offerings, quaint decor on every floor, various places to sit, including a rooftop. It's definitely a touristy thing to do but with over 2,000 beers to choose from, who cares? I loved every minute of it. It's crazy busy at times especially when live music events are taking place. We shared a Yard Stick which were multiple beers (smaller taster sizes). See my pics for exactly how many. Service was exceptional.

If you love beer, this place is a MUST when visiting Brussels! We stopped by Delirium Café and…read morewow... the selection is insane. They're known for having one of the biggest beer selections in the world, and you can literally spend hours just reading the menu. We ordered their famous beer flight that comes with 10 different types of beers. Each one was completely unique, different flavors, colors, and strengths. It was such a fun way to try a variety without committing to just one. Some were light and refreshing, others were strong and bold. I loved that every glass felt like a new experience. The service was great! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. They also have a photobooth inside, which was such a fun surprise. Perfect spot to make memories with friends. If you're in Brussels and want the full Belgian beer experience, this spot is a must-visit. So worth it!

While a lot of folks visiting Bruges stop off at 't Brugs Beertje (as you should), my favorite hole in the wall bar (LITERALLY! a hole in the wall) is this place. Since the door isn't at eye level, it's easy to miss. It's an underground bar that is a little dark, a little dank but all sorts of good. The beer selection is awesome (some really select beers you can't find in the States) and the bartenders are fabulous. The beers here tend to be 10-20% cheaper than 't Brugs Beertje. Grab a seat, order a fantastic Belgian beer and relish in the fact that you're hanging out in one of the coolest bar and city in Belgium.

The open mike night is incredible, with a rock solid opening band that then backs up solo musicians. We could easily have stayed until closing, but after a few Belgian beers and jet lag, we reluctantly bid our farewell. The drinks are great here too, plus there is food to be had.

Under no circumstances you should go to this place. First of all, their food menu is very limited,…read moreit is incredibly overpriced, and they must buy their cheese from a supermarket and just plop it on a plate. Second, the waiters are very rude. Their English is very limited and I have just witnessed one of them yelling at a customer. Third, while their beer is extensive, most of them are way overpriced compared to the rest of Ghent. This place is famous for serving over two hundred beers but honestly who wants to be treated poorly with mediocre service and terrible and overpriced snacks?

We came here for a beer and some snacks after touring Gravensteen castle. It was Assumption Day so…read morethe place was packed and they definitely did not have enough staff working. We snagged a table closer to the water and ordered a Delirium Tremens, a Chimay, a dry sausage, and their cheese spread. The beers, of course, are the best, as they have been this entire trip. The food was subpar. The sausage was hard and quite chewy and while we enjoyed the three different cheeses, the bread seemed like it came out of a bag. Needless to say, service was harried and everything took forever. Still, this was a nice place to sit by the water and watch the people go by. You better love people smoking in your face though. Three stars.
