Bruges. Great town with the best beer cafe in Western Europe - it is the t'Brugs Biertje at No 5 Kemelstraat, with a beer menu of over 300 beers, each with its own named glass. Some wonderful beers, and the staff are happy to advise. (Not much in the way of grub). Belgium is the beer hub of the world.
Dusseldorf was mentioned too. The best boozing venue there is the zum Uerige in the old town (Altstadt), where the beer is brewed on the premises and the waiter comes round every ten minutes and serves you another glassful unless you stop him (20cl glasses). He (always a he) marks your beer mat with a pencil and you pay when you leave according to all your marks.The beer is superb as well and very little choice - not that you need it.
I'd be happy to have a break in either of these places.
