Delaney's can host large and small parties simultaneously and with our three large TV’s, you can be sure we have you covered for all the major sporting events.

- We visited Delaney's just last night, Feb 13th, and it's a lovely bar with a warm and pleasant ambience. And delicious food! I ordered the chicken burger and quite honestly it was the best I've ever had! My partner was also mightily impressed with her Irish burger. Would definitely come here again!!.- Peter Bradley
- Celebrated New Year in Brugge over 4 days with my partner and found Delaney’s by accident! We saw the New Year in there and celebrated it twice (as Brugge is an hour ahead). We loved it so much we went back twice more before flying home. The staff are so friendly, happy and knowledgable. My partner is from Irish decent so loved it! The food amounts are plenty and taste wonderful! Will be going back to Brugge and Delaney’s hopefully in June/July for the music concerts - on the recommendation from one of the staff....see you all then for more Guinness and great atmosphere!.- Sandra Sunshine Watts
