Definitely going to judge all future tours against this one. Pascal was so great and you could feel his love for the city in the tour. We had so much fun with this tour and definitely walked away feeling like we’d gotten the best of Brugge.

We had a wonderful tour with Edward! He was so knowledgeable and friendly and we really got to know the city from a local perspective.

We had a great walking tour with Ray. It was very informative and hit all the must see spots. Ray was a super knowledgeable and fun guy to walk with. I would definitely recommend this to anyone traveling to Bruges.

Bruges By Night Tour

Golden Hand… of the Devil – some can say it’s not just a strange monument and a spooky local story, but also, symbolically, the whole story of Bruges summed up. The city, a testament to the brilliance of the human mind, was touched by greatness and then suddenly thrown from the pedestal – just like the devil who seemingly blesses but actually curses you for eternity. Bruges is a home not only to grand beauty, but also many creepy and dark stories. Wandering along the canals of the city after dusk can be very romantic or simply… dangerous. 

Do you want to meet lover ghosts, learn the stories of murder and intrigue? Or simply get the chance to find out more about Bruges history, the rise and fall of the mediaeval city and discover why it became one of the most important financial centres in the world during the Middle Ages? Join us for a night walk to see the exact place where money was changing hands back in those days, visit the old windmills, city gates and walls and much more. 

Bruges provides a perfect setting for an evening walk and can be so appealing with its noir-style, evening locations. But it won’t be all so grim when you walk with us: besides the history and dark tales we will also discuss crucial things like local beer, bars and nightlife. Now, you cannot say no!

On this 1,5 hours tour you will see and discover:

• Market Square
• Old Bursary
• Jan van Eyck Square
• Ghost House of Bruges
• Golden Hand Canal
• Oldest Bar of Belgium
• Jerusalem Church

What to do in Bruges at night ? Top 11 places

Don’t know what to do at night in Bruges? Whether you’re a party animal or a quiet night owl, a fan of bars, pubs, concerts, clubs and other lively places, what better way to feel the atmosphere of a neighborhood where it’s good to go out than by going out at night in Bruges

Here is my selection of the best places to spend a good evening.

In Bruges, even if there is no shortage of pubs and bars, you won’t find any clubs or similar establishments to dance in, so don’t bother taking your dancing shoes in your luggage.

If you want to find some excitement, you’ll have to head to the old town, where you’ll discover a multitude of traditional-style bars selling incredible beers from all over the region.

If you’re more interested in going out to some of Brugess’ trendy spots, head to the party haunts in the Kuipersstraat and Zilverstraat neighborhoods.

Follow the guide, I’ll show you my favorite places in Bruges to go out and have fun!

What to do at night in Bruges : List the best bars

De garre : the best bar in bruges.

One of the best bars in Bruges, De Garre is nestled in the narrowest street of the city.

This medieval-style bar serves a strong beer called (you guessed it) De Garre, so strong that the waiters will not serve you more than three glasses.

Each glass comes with a piece of cheese in a desperate attempt to make the beer less strong, but it’s a waste of time.

Go out in Bruges at ‘tPoatersgat

If you’re lucky enough to find ‘t Poatersgat (which translates as the monk’s hole) you can have a drink in a bar that is simply extraordinary.

Don’t hesitate to ask locals for directions to the entrance.

Once you enter the cellar where the bar is located, you will be immediately immersed in the atmosphere with the smell of beer and the dimmed lights.

It’s really the perfect place to spend a few hours with friends and try some of the 120 beers available.

tBrugsBeertje

If you have trouble reading and figuring out how to pronounce the name of this mythical Flemish city spot, then give up all hope of making it after trying the 300 or so beers the bar offers.

The walls are lined with old vintage beer ads, this warm and welcoming watering hole is a veritable shrine to the Belgian national drink, and the friendly staff knows everything there is to know about the famous hop-based brew.

Muttley’s: the relaxed bar to go out at night in Bruges

A small bar with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for going out in Bruges, Muttley’s is a bar with character where you can drink, drink and drink.

The bar does indeed offer a wide range of beers and alcohols of all kinds, but very few snacks to eat.

If you like to chat and shun bars where the music is too loud, look no further, this is the perfect bar to meet and share good times.

Clubs in Bruges to go out all night

If you really like to go to clubs in Bruges, party without limits (or almost) and you like dance bars with a crazy atmosphere, Bras Cafe (also known as Bras Club) is THE place you will love in Bruges.

Whether you drink beer or cocktails, the long menu at your disposal will delight you and you’ll have a night out of the ordinary.

It’s a lively club where the atmosphere is always good-natured and where you can leave all your inhibitions at the door.

Expect to see naked bodies, drunken people and debaucherous parties.

Address: HetZand 10 (‘t Zand 9), Bruges, 8000 Phone: +32 50 344 565 Website : http://www.brascafe.be/

De Coulissen : the classy club in Bruges

Located in the former Bank of Bruges, De Coulissen is the only real nightclub in the city and a popular meeting place for the young hipsters of the region.

It is the exact antithesis of the other so-called clubs in Bruges (where beer flows freely and dancers wave their arms like disjointed puppets), De Coulissen is classy and quality DJs take turns at the turntables for a more elaborate music playlist than anywhere else until the early morning.

Address: Jakob Van Ooststraat4, Bruges, 8000 Phone: +32 486105141. Website: http: //www.decoulissen.be

Ma Rica Rokk

The city doesn’t really have a real scene for clubbers, so they end up at Ma Rica Rokk where the floor is sticky, the drinks are cheap and the girls are not always the age they claim to be…

The music is mostly commercial, but you’ll find the atmosphere perfect after enjoying the “crazyhour” at the bar. It is certainly not the cleanest club you will visit.

Address: Het Zand 6, Bruges, 8000 Phone: +32 50 332 434 Website: http: //ma-rica-rokk.business.site/

Concerts and live music to go out in Bruges

The cactus club.

The Cactus Club is one of the only contemporary music clubs in Bruges, hosting rock bands, world music events and international DJs in a concert hall that can hold 100 to 1000 people.

The club also organizes the Cactus festival which takes place during 3 days in the Minnewater park every July.

Address: Sint-Andries, Magdalenastraat 27, Bruges, 8200 Telephone: +32 50 332 014. Website: http://www.cactusmusic.be

Le Comptoir Des Artes

Known as the den of Bruges’ bluesmen, the Comptoir is the perfect place to go out at night in Bruges and spend an hour or two listening to good music over a good beer.

With a comedy stage on Mondays and live music regularly scheduled the rest of the week, Comptoir Des Artes has more to offer than just great food and beer.

The bar remains a favorite meeting place for locals, where you can sit quietly at a table, but we advise you to stay at the counter itself.

Address: Vlamingstraat 53, Bruges, 8000 Telephone: +32 494 387 961 Website: http: //www.comptoirdesarts.be/

Concertgebouw (concert hall)

The Concertgebouwon’tZand Square is the concert hall of Bruges and regularly offers classical music recitals, opera, ballet and a wide range of contemporary performances.

The main auditorium seats 1300 people, while the chamber music hall seats 350.

Address: ‘t Zand 34, Bruges, 8000 Telephone: +32 50 476 999. Website: http: //www.concertgebouw.be

Joey’s Bar: the bar with character to go out in Bruges and listen to good music

Managed by locals, Joey’s is a bar with character where you can spend good evenings in Bruges, dimly lit, which turns into a concert hall for intimate musical meetings.

Artists play there regularly, but you’ll be lucky if you arrive on a concert night.

Still, the music isn’t its only advantage. Sit back and enjoy the casual atmosphere, chat with the friendly waiters and enjoy delicious cocktails.

Address: Zuldzandstraat 16/A, Bruges, 8000 Phone: +32 50 341 264.

Best things to do and see in Bruges

Bruges is one of the main cities of Belgium and the capital of the West Flanders part, located in the northwestern part of the country. It stands out mainly for its canals, being classified by many as the Venice of the North, with permission from Amsterdam. In addition, one of its hallmarks is its medieval buildings that make you can imagine several centuries ago with its cobbled streets, highlighting the bell tower (Belfort) dating from the thirteenth century with more than 80 meters high that is close to the Markt Square. The port of the city, Zeebrugge, is considered an important focus of trade at European level as well as a very favorable place for fishing activity. Belgian cuisine stands out above all for its chocolates, as well as its fries (they don't make them the same anywhere else in the world). The already mentioned Grote Markt square located in the most central part of the city, as well as the Church of Our Lady (Vrouwekerk) and the dock of the Rosary bathed by the Dijver, possibly the most important channel in the area, stand out as essential places in Bruges . Other points of interest that are also worth visiting are the Minnewater Park (Lake of Love) south of the old town, the Burg Square which has the presence of some of the emblematic buildings such as the Town Hall (Stadhuis), the Palace of Justice or the Basilica of the Holy Blood, another place you should visit is Begijnhof (the Beatoria of Belgium were declared a World Heritage Site) near the Minnewater park. And you shouldn't leave without first seeing the two most prominent museums: Groeninge and Memling as well as the Cathedral of San Salvador. In the case that it is your first visit to Bruges , it is highly recommended that you do a free tour with a local guide to help you locate the most important places in the city. In fact, in addition to seeing and listening to the history behind the monuments, buildings, streets and canals, they will also advise you on where to eat, how to get around or what areas are worth visiting beyond the old town.
