’t Dreupelkot

Ghent


A traditional jenever (gin) bar, serving 100 Belgian concoctions – including the owner's homemade prune and raisin versions – and one north French. Traditionally jenever is made from grain and malt and packs a punch at 40% proof. The bare-brick and tiled interior is warmly atmospheric.
