Waterhuis aan de Bierkant - Gent - Restaurants, Cafes & Food Reviews

Just next to the Canals in Ghent you can find a great bar, called; Waterhuis aan de Bierkant. It has one of the finest terraces in Ghent and it stretches along the banks of the Leie. Besides its quiet atmosphere and its magnificent view on the old Ghent, one can savour more than 150 kinds of beer, 14 of which on draught!

Inside you will experience the atmosphere of an old pub like one finds but seldom nowadays. With nice music in the background - from jazz to blues and the latest releases - you will encounter the most varied crowd from all over the world.

When I was looking at was what thought was a very thick menu card, I found out that it was mainly a beer card (!) In this place you can discover the amazingly rich Belgian beer culture. The place has a wide selection of the best high fermentation Belgian beers, and they are served at the ideal temperature on draught or in bottles.

In their beer menu I loved the text that followed the very strong beers; Watch out! These beers are very strong. So, before you start drinking, write down the name of your hotel and the room number. If not, you might wake up in a very unknown place...

The Waterhuis aan de Bierkant is open every day from 11 am to... the hour at which decent people goes to sleep!
