Welcome To Delaney's
Situated in the heart of the historical city of Brugge, Delaney's Irish Bar & Restaurant has become a staple of the cities burgeoning hospitality industry. Wearing our Irish heritage with pride, at Delaney's you will find the best of Irish food and drink, awaiting your order. Classic Irish drinks such as Guinness, Bulmers and a full range of classic Irish whiskeys such as Jameson and Powers are available, whilst further up our menu card, you will find Irish classics such as Rib Eye Steak, big beefy Irish burgers and our always popular, Irish Stew.
Established in March of 2013, Delaney's has earned a reputation for being a real good time bar, popular with everyone from students looking to party together and families in search of a comfortable place to unwind and enjoy some good wholesome food. Indeed, Delaney's makes a perfect pi stop for many tourists sightseeing in Brugge.
Delaney's regularly hosts live music on Friday and Saturday night, which regularly draws a lively crowd, but for those looking for something a little more private, we have two well furnished function rooms, which can host larger groups away from the action in the main bar. These rooms are ideal for private gatherings such as weddings or parties, but also make for good meeting halls during the day, both for families and friends or businesses looking to host their meetings in a welcoming and professional environment. 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.
Delaney’s is a family friendly bar, offering a great venue for all to relax and enjoy themselves in. Families will appreciate our child friendly facilities and child friendly menu and competitive prices.
Being at the heart of an internationally renowned city such as Brugge, our staff are fluent in Dutch, English and some will even be able to take your order in Gaelic. We regularly host groups from across the world and are proud to be such a popular destination.

We are easy to reach by foot, bus and car (see directions at the foot of the website) and we're open all year round, with a little bit of time off for good behaviour around Christmas.

Smaller groups will be made welcome in our main bar area, whilst larger bookings can take advantage of one of our two private rooms, where table service, food and drink will be provided specifically for your gathering.

On evenings when there is live music, we can even stream this to the TV's in the rooms.
We have two rooms, one larger and ideal for larger groups or corporate gatherings, the other slightly smaller and aimed at family gatherings, such as weddings, birthdays or general celebrations.

- Thoroughly recommend this place. It feels like home and the food tasted like home. Delicious food with bog servings. Excellent pint of Guinness too. Very friendly and helpful staff. A must visit if you're in Brugge.- Kev Costello
- 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

Frequently Asked Questions
On this page we have tried to compile a selection of frequently asked questions, which we hope will answer most of the questions people have about our establishment.
- What sort of parties can you host?

- We will always do our best to find space for you in the restaurant and it is usually no problem, but it’s generally a good idea to reserve a day in advance on a Friday and Saturday.

- We already offer a range of vegetarian and vegan dishes. For any special dietary requirements, we encourage you to call us before arrival, so that we can let you know what's possible.
- Can we turn up most evenings and expect to be seated?
- We welcome you to turn up at the door and we will do everything we can to seat you, but be aware that the restaurant can be very busy on a Friday and Saturday, so we cannot always guarantee you will get a table straight away.
