Located in Western Europe, the country is also popular among beer connoisseurs, who enjoy visiting its many local bars. However, several years ago, some publicans noticed their beer glasses were missing. Beer glasses in Belgium are expensive and come in many shapes and sizes, from goblets and chalices to flutes and tulips. In Ghent, a port city in Northwest Belgium, the bar Dulle Griet collected their guests' shoes in a basket before they were allowed into the premises. Its owner, Alex De Vriendt, told a news portal that so far, no customers have tried visiting the bar without shoes.
