Located on a street full of restaurants, always busy, bigger inside than you would expect. Old Flemish bar look but with loads of modern flourishes, tiles, brick walls, marble etc. They do food, sandwiches, charcuterie but didn’t see the menu. Prices are slightly steep as is everywhere these days. Beer especially tap is a bit too Duvel focused plus Cristal but they have some Dupont, Troubadour and Trappists so that is lovely. Friendly service, charming, fun place.

Gorgeous old fashioned dark wood pub including naval themed memorabilia and at least one custom build table. Interior dates partially over a 100 years ago. Friendly service and okay prices. Menu wasn’t too surprising but there is a fair amount of beer, some less common and they had Avec Les Bons Voeux on tap. Focus is more traditional BE beers, trappiest, tripel etc.

Gorgeous Art Nouveau interior dating back to the 1920s. Worth a visit just to see the interior, up there with the most beautiful ones in Brussels. Beer list is little surprising, but it has Orval at clearly touristic prices. Seemed lgbtqi+ friendly, logical also given the location.

Located in the same alley as Au Bon Vieux Temps and across it. Looks more rustic in the old way with some restoration that seems to be a bit off-beat, less baroque. Limited beer selection of trappist beers and classic with Orval costing 6.50 euro. Clientel being all tourists and a mime artist. Worth hitting for the interior still.

Dating back to the late seventeenth century located in an alley way with stained glass window and amazing interior. The interior is a thing of beauty, not a place you will find people outside of tourists in part due to the beers being priced very touristic, 7 euro for Orval, 6.50 euro for St. Bernardus 12 etc. limited choices. Westvleteren for 17 euro. Essential stop for interior still.

Located on Eilandje in an old warehouse, interior boasts a huge storage / working area, no longer accessible due to insurance issues, assortment of tables, bicycles for sale, art, table tennis etc. Terrace outside, different vibe, eclectic interior and far better prices than in town. Tap is Primus pilsner, Antigoon and a house beer made by Musketeers, probably Jack’s Precious IPA (guessing, people working there didn't know what it was), found it to be awful, beyond what I remember. Luckily there is bottled beer like Westmalle. Good prices, place, more drinkable beer wouldn’t have been too bad.

Visited on early Monday afternoon, some older locals hanging out. Old school brown bar, pre-1950s country and jazz playing. Gorgeous interior, lots of wood, style, and atmosphere. Pub food including classical and some Louisiana etc. themed fare available, vegetarian but not vegan. Fun place to visit, shame beer isn’t good, tap is Leffe, Dommelsch, Karemliet, Beerze,.. Doesn’t get more exciting than Hertog Jan which available for limited time.
