Inside The Drifter tiki bar in Ghent

Who we are

Born in Ghent.
Built on rum.

The Drifter is Belgium's first tiki bar, born in Ghent and built on one simple obsession: making great drinks. Every juice, syrup and cordial is homemade. Every bottle on the shelf was chosen for quality, sustainability and ethics.

We don't do reservations, we don't do lazy ingredients, and we definitely don't do bad rum. Find us on Steendam 53, Tuesday excluded.

Seasonal Menus

The menu evolves with the seasons. New cocktails, new ideas, new reasons to come back.
