Hm, I agree with most of your addresses, though personally I find Bier
Circus getting way too posh: everything for the dinners and to hell with the
punters. But A Capella, come on, Gent can do a lot better. Try Waterhuis aan
de Bierkant.
A tip: try to find places outside the big towns as well. Denderleeuw (Heren
van Liedekercke), Huise (De Gans), Turnhout (De Spythigen Duvel), etc...
