Description: We were enticed into De Kuppe for two rather prosaic and one rather fantastic reason. The first two being that it was very near to the hotel (Aragon) we were staying in and the window advertised over 100 beers. The latter reason being that as they walked past they were playing “Ain’t Nothing Gonna Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder, which demanded to be danced to. Oh, and with Leffe and Hoegaarden on tap add another two motives.
The bar itself is a long rectangular room with the bar down one side and tables and chairs on the other. Décor is – well to be honest it’s just bar-like! A plain-ish wall, wooden furniture - like a lot of good places to drink, it’s the beer that’s the thing and the clientele that make the atmosphere (a mixture of different ages).
The 100 or so beers are listed on a menu card – just make your pick and the barman will take your order. At 6pm (we returned to the bar on our second trip to Bruges), the bar was sparsely populated (there are also tables and chairs outside for those balmy summer evenings), and at 10:30pm, with the music playing, it was much busier.
Located near the Markt this is one of the – many – fine bars you can find in Bruges. Cheers!
Open from about 5pm.
