Brouwzaele

decent range of beers nothing to adventurous though

You’ll need a taxi to get from the centre of Ghent to this local bar, which is close to the big cinema complex.
The main feature of this bar is a large copper brewing kettle which hangs over the bar. We decided to eat here, and had a delicious Gentse Stooverij, a beef stew flavoured with Rodenbach. We’ve had a fair few Stooverijs over our time in Ghent, and we reckoned this was the best. The beer menu is extensive and reasonably priced.
This is a nice place to spend an evening. If you don’t fancy eating in the bar, there is what looked to be a very nice (if potentially very expensive) restaurant on the canal boat nearby. It took a while to get a taxi back to our hotel, so you might want to take your final drink outside while you wait.
