This is the first trip we’ve taken where we made no plans other than hotel reservations – one night in Brussels and one night in Bruges.

We arrived in Brussels around 7:30pm ready to check out the night life. Our hotel for the night, Rocco Amigo, was conveniently located near the Grand Place, or Brussels’ town square.  The rest of our evening was spent meandering the narrow cobblestone streets past small restaurants and bars. We luckily found our way to the three story World of Delirium bar! It was the perfect spot for the four of us to enjoy beers – it was a mix between a dive bar and a club because this was clearly one of the Brussels hot spots for both tourists and locals alike. Each floor was packed yet we were able to find a table within minutes. The service was friendly and there were over 2,500 beers available in bottles and more than 100 on tap!

After a few too many beers we found our way to a mussels and frites filled dinner – the perfect ending to our evening. We stumbled across Chez Leon which had a huge line and decided that the packed quarters meant one of two things – it’s either very good or just a huge tourist trap due to its proximity to the Grand Place.  After sharing their mulles frites we can say that it is a tourist trap but the food was really, really good!

Today we’re exploring Brussels before taking the train to Bruges, a storybook Flemish town about an hour from here.

If you were at a bar that served over 2,000 different beers which one would you choose?
