This page lists many recommended bars throughout Wallonia. To merit recommendation the bars must serve beer from Wallonian breweries. The recommendations come from John Woods and Keith Rigley (discovered whilst researching The Beers Of Wallonia), from breweries when asked for bars selling their beer that could be included in the book, and from friends. They are arranged alphabetically by Town within Province.

Where the "Recommended by - " is the name of a brewery, those beers should be available in that bar. If it is "Authors" the bar should stock a good range of Wallonian beers. If anybody else is named as recommender, the beers stocked should be mentioned in the text.

To navigate the list you can click on the province you are interested in on the map and it will take you to that province in the list. If your browser will support the appropriate Javascript you can select a town from the dropdown list or if not you will just have to scan the list. By the very nature of the subject this list cannot be definitive, so if you have any recommendations or comments please see the panel at the bottom of the page.
