2 Best Nightlife in Kortrijk, Ghent and the Leie

One of the oldest bars in Kortrijk sits on the banks of the Leie. The city has changed around it, and what was once a typical Belgian "brown bar" (its pale walls stained by years of tobacco smoke) in a run-down area is now one of the hipper locations on the riverfront for a beer. It has a nice terrace in summer. 

A cozy, candlelit wine bar in the center of the city, right on the Grote Markt. Inside, it's rather dinky but the terrace cheerfully spills onto the pavement outside. A good selection of French wines.
