    Really friendly owners/staff, massive selection of beers really championing local breweries. Worth the walk from the centre of town.

    Vincent has turned this bar into a masterpiece in Bruges. A more than decent collection of bottles beers, but it's the beers on draft that really takes this place to the next level. Some Belgian, but the ones which are hard to find on tap and some from around the world, one ever more special than the other. Combined with a beautiful warm interior and often concerts in the back a must to swing by (regularly)!

    Spent two fab nights in De Kelk - excellent selection of Belgium brews. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Great atmosphere. Was busy both nights we visited but they always managed to squeeze us in. The cherry on top for this place is of course Eddie - the friendly bar dog who never tired of playing with everyone. Highly recommend this place!

    Great beer here. Different from most of the other local bars, this place also does European cloudy IPAs.

    Very good beer selection from tap. They have rare international beer and a huge selection of belgium beers . Having be there several times and always with with lovely underground rock wave music .

  • 5/5 Milton W. 1 year ago on Google
    A great welcome to Bruges! Stopped in here with my partner on our first night on the town, and was greeted by a cool French bulldog – Eddie - and the two owners of this establishment. Their beer menu is out of this world, their service unmatched, and the energy of the entire establishment screams come in and sit down! Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and come with a big appetite! I will be back soon!

    A sterile version of what used to be. Opened out, with a nice tiled floor and bar. It's modern, it's clean, and the beer selection is excellent, however the open space and high chairs do it no favours and the social element has fallen away. The venue adds variety for locals which is important but as a visitor coming to what is a derivative place doesn't hold much appeal when Bruges has so many distinctive bars.

  • 5/5 Pınar YAR K. 1 year ago on Google
    If you're searching for very chic and stylish bar, don't wait to go to De Kelk. The owners of the bar are so friendly and you will find all the beers what you want. Besides the snacks are so delicious. De Kelk night was the best in our Bruges vacation. Btw in the photo you will find The Law on the Prevention of Drunkenness of 14 November 1939 :)

😠 Wow. I'm here right now and the bartender is a piece of work. My husband ordered a beer and I said I would order something but I needed a minute to decide. We have been sitting at the bar for at least 15 minutes and he has yet to ask me what I want or even look at me. Ugh. There are only 6 other peo...
