Go rent [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Bruges ]In Bruges[/url] and watch for a few ideas of what to get up to whilst you're there... It'll certainly make you laugh if you've not seen it before! 😉

Ah the memories...

...or lack thereof and therefore I can't make any helpful suggestions other than our hostel's bar was very well stocked with Kwak 🙂

Go hunt a good bar down, drink a bit, talk to locals and get them to tell you what to do/where to go. Usually works.

We spent many weekends there when we lived in Holland - great place, especially outside main tourist season.

Avoid the obvious tourist traps around the main square for food (OK for beer though!) and just have a wander - it's a beautiful city at night and some of the best places are just neighbourhood bars in the back streets. If it's busy it's probably good.

Couple of recommendations, although it's been a good few years since I was last there:

This place on Wiijngaardplein (near the Begijnhof) is a fantastic old building and certainly used to do great steaks and seafood:

Cambrinus has a fantastic beer selection:

The bar at the Straffe Hendrik Brewery is worth a visit too:

Other than that, if you're there early enough and it's open, would recommend a visit to the Basilica of the Holy Blood on Brug square for a genuinely spooky experience! Evening boat trips are also good fun, but doubt they're running this time of year.

Have fun!
