TROLLEKELDER
This place used to be a library, but the basement pub now sells over 300 different beers. Trollekelder means ‘troll’s cave’, but the friendly staff are anything but troll-like and will help you navigate the menu. I sell my own beer, Crabbelaer, here! trollekelder.be
THE GLENGARRY
A hidden gem, this cellar bar — decorated with old stone jugs and whisky bottles — is a great place to chill out. Owner Mario serves the best beers, and the bar has a lot of single malts. People on my tours always tell me what a special place it is. theglengarry.be
CAFÉ DE WALRUS
This relaxed bar has mismatched furniture and three areas, each with its own vibe: a dining space, a chill-out zone and a terrace. As well as beer, it serves greatvalue lunches and dinners. walrus-gent.be
