An old school café with a beautiful wooden interior and an extensive beer menu. You can find a couple of rarities in there, but be aware that a few of them are listed but not available. Also, I must say that all my beers were served with extra-sediments, the yeast cake floating freely all over the bottle... It’s the only place in Belgium where I had this problem, and it ruined my tasting experience completely. Plus, I’m not a fan of commercial radio. I don’t think the last hit of Britney Spears is an appropriate soundtrack for a tasting session in an 1900’s café. Disappointing.

Any bar that has La Chouffe, Kwak, Brigand and Westmalle Dubbel (and others) on tap does it for me. We visited three times during our stay in Ostend; this was by far the best bar we found. The staff are very helpful, the main food menu is only in Flemish, but they are more than willing to translate for you. The place is like one of those ’English Pubs for Europe’ that were exported in the 70’s (you ordered by room size and a lorry turned up with interior walls and fittings to fit). This bar had loads of Continental add-ons though, making it a very fine and interesting bar to drink and eat in. The food was good, I had a beef stew cooked with Westmalle Dubbel. There is normal snacky food too, this can be found in the beer menu as well as in the food menu, which covers a greater selection. The restuarant which used to be joined to the bar is now closed, hence the larger menu in the bar. A small warning though. The beer list is huge and one evening we choose to attack the ’winter beer’ list and decided on beers we had never had before. Both were well out of date, great for those that like aged beers I suppose. My beer was a murky sludge and I spent sometime on the toilet the following day. It didn’t matter though, because my wifes beer had an aroma and taste of lemon washing up liquid, so she cleaned up after me! The tap Triple is the local ’Keyte’ and I couldn’t get on with it, I have a bottle to review latter, I hope it has more flavour than the one I had in here. The beers do come very cold, but they soon warm up (if you let them sit awhile). Worth going to Ostend just to use this place, even with the little hick-ups I’ve mentioned.

Great place to have a beer in Ostend. So if you skip the Leffe Café on the "Wapenplein", you can go there and enjoy a good beer ;)

Very nice place not far from the beach. This place has a broad selection of beers. Nice to visit after a long walk on the beach of Oostende.

Very nice cafe. I was able to have Cnudde Bizon Kriek and it was first time I tried Cnudde beer outside Eine town.

If the place is crowded it feels really impersonal and cold. Service is not good. I think I spoke to 3 different waiters before I could finally order, then had to wait for more than 10 minutes, just to get two beers. Selection is pretty good, I heard good things about the food, but can’t vouch for that myself. Definitely worth checking out as a beer geek, but not for a fun evening with friend, I’d reckon.

Very decent bar, with a good selection of beer, including seasonal beers that are not in season!

If you want to try a hard to find beer, this might be the place you’ll find it. A large selection of craft and commercial beers. The interior reminds me of an english pub. Very cosy
