So ladies and gentlemen, the proliferation of bars in Place Flagey continues with gusto. Here, I’m pleased to share with you, is a fantastic addition to the local drinking scene.

L’Amère à Boire is run by people with passion for beer and it shows. Forget mediocre brews – this bar is about diversity and quality with a menu long enough to keep things interesting round after round. There are six beers on tap that rotate and at least a hundred more available by the bottle. Throw in a changing guest beer and you’re all set to enjoyably learn about Belgium’s national drink. The atmosphere is very laidback, with a nice mixture of students, Flagey locals, curious passersby and the serious beer brigade.

Oh, and it also hosts live gigs on a regular basis!
