Lafayette Music Bar

Located downtown Ostende, this music bar is quite nice. And nice music the whole night. 8 Beers on tap, some locals, some macros. Nice selection of mainly Belgian beers (lots of Tripel). Spend a nice evening there.

Quit a famous pub in the Ostend entertainment district - the local of soul legend Marvin Gaye during his time in the city. Very atmospheric 'brown' pub with much more focus on music than on beer and therefore, contrary to Botteltje further down the road, not a true (Rate-)beer place if you ask me. They did, however, have an above average selection of Belgian standards, including some traditional geuze (Oud Beersel); a bit less beer-centered than the equally well-known Manuscript just across the street, but an agreeable, if sometimes very busy pub with friendly and efficient service, at least during the late afternoon I spent there with Goedele. But again: not specifically a beer place per se.

8 taps with mostly boring InBev stuff. About 70 bottles with some exiting stuff (Westy 12 for EUR 12 for example). This place is really cozy in the daytime and turns into a very loud music venue in the night. Go here for the beers at day and party at night. Super friendly and attentive service at day - at night not so much. Prices are decent

Great place with a nice vibe (at least that I know of in the evenings), a pretty nice beer selection. Maybe a little loud, but moving to the terrace can help in the summer. Just found out by accident that this place is on ratebeer. Wouldn’t exactly have thought to add it myself, as it’s not really a beer pilgrimage place, but definitely stands out from most of the other Ostend pubs and bars.

Bar in the small square with Cafe Manuscript dead opposite. There is a pleasant atmosphere, cool and in a good position, although I expect it could get really busy in the evenings. The beer choice was a little limited we found and quite pricey. The service was fine for us. Nice place.

The ambiance is great, with easy jazz music, a lot of local and regular customers. They have quite some beers, including some specials, but all are Belgian. They also have some whiskeys and gins. Service is ok.

Nice bar, with outside terrace. Close to other bars. Easy night, so service was quick. All Belgian trappist on stock.

Nice place, nice music, somehow crowed in the evening. Not much of choise, but never tried the Keyte beers.

Not a really bad place, they have a few good beers. But it’s always overcrowded, which made the service not that good.
