Keans Head

I went to the Keane's Head expecting a lovely pub. Instead I found a dirty, unfriendly pub which felt more like a canteen or youth hostel. The tables were filthy - covered in spilled wax, beer, sugar etc. The staff were unpleasant and unhelpful. The atmosphere was dismal for a saturday night.

Also, "Belgian beer menu" is limited (having lived in Belgium for 10 years, I am definitely qualified to judge this). Other choice is okay.

All in all, don't bother on a saturday night. Have heard food is okay though. Try the pubs nearby instead.

A smoke free pub long before smoking was banned, this little gem of a pub is hidden away in the back streets of the lace market.

It serves a good selection of real ales, including Kriek on draft. There also seems to be a fair selection of foreign bottled beers.

The menu is peculiar and fussy eaters need not bother, but if you fancy something a bit different and don't mind paying a bit extra then it's worth a try. The desserts are good, full stop!

Lovely atmosphere and I've never had trouble getting a seat despite it being the teeniest pub I've ever been in!
