Hi,
I wanted to share this piece of information.
It's about cafes/pubs existing in 1983 here in Bruges.
I came upon these 2 newspaper articles when browsing the rich archives at www.erfgoedbrugge.be

Two big pages that show some amazing pubs inside Bruges around 1983  :exclamation: (click the pictures to see a high-resolution image)

I was 21 years young and visited many of them.
Very surprised and amazed to notice how things have changed since then.
It would be utterly exciting if we could go back in time and visit again those gems with trying the beers that were available that period.
Too bad that they forgot to mention 't Brugs Beertje, which at that period was already existing.

Cheers,
Filip
