    Visited Belgian Bar yesterday for the first time and I was astonished about the level of customer service received. Nothing was too much trouble, staff was super friendly (they found a perfect balance of being friendly and not overload the customer with kindness). Although someone went beyond and above to make our table happy and that was David. I have asked for mocktail (not on the menu) thinking I might be faced with 'no' as it happened in few places already, but for David that was not a problem. All evening he was making me the most amazing drinks I could possibly imagine. Blends, taste and attention to details... just wow!!! Thank you so much for accommodating my needs. Left the bar super happy You guys should put those on the menu. Let other people taste what I did!

    05/08/22: I've been coming to the Belgian Bar, formerly La Trappiste on Greenwood Street, since I moved to Altrincham in 1995. It closed as La Trappiste on 29th October 2011 and rebranded with a facelift as The Belgian Bar. It's still the same quirky curio of a place as it always was, with it's wood interior, traditional Belgian decor and little nooks & crannys on the upper floor. An extensive Belgian Beer menu, something for everyone. Over 10 taps to choose from and a stock of over 300 bottles from Belgium, Europe, UK & Europe. Dog friendly. Welcoming and accommodating staff. Plenty of room outside to sit and relax, plus the warmth of a real fire on Winter days. A nice selection of sandwiches, hot dogs, steak frites, meze and tapas.

    Love the Belgian Bar as every time we visit it is always exceptionally good and a delight to visit. Especially on this occasion when we visited to finish off our night in Altrincham. It was made even more special by our host/barman who we didn't catch the name of but did ascertain that he was from Croatia. He was a very attentive guy with a lovely disposition and a friendly manner. 😊. Whenever we go to Altrincham we always drop into the Belgian Bar as its always convivial and welcoming. Fabulous place with a gorgeous ambience. Wonderful!!

    Great bar, I love Belgian beers. Bartenders are great, and the owner is an awesome guy. I came in while travelling abroad for work. The owner sat down with me and we talked for at least a couple hours about our travels. Highly recommend this place, I know I'll be coming back when I visit Altrincham again.

    Lovely cozy pub and the staff are lovely, friendly and cheerful. The only issue is that they charge you a 10% service without telling you or having it wrote down anywhere on the drink menu. When I walked in I was told to take a seat anywhere and I only ordered 2 standard beers no food. The bill should of came to £10.60 and was charge £11.66. I don’t mind paying a service if I was told or given a receipt but I wasn’t. I asked the gentleman why I was charged and he says it’s a service charge as it’s table service only but if I went to the bar myself I wouldn’t of got charged. Yes I was given a refund of my beers which I didn’t want as I was trying to say it’s the principle of you not telling us and not just secretly adding it on without us knowning. If you are going to do this please note this on your menu or tell your staff to inform everyone.

    We were served by David and not only was he an exceptional host, I wasn’t sure what i wanted to drink. He made me the perfect drink. Not only did I love it my boyfriend tasted it and wanted one to which David was happy to make. A prefect bar tender and 5 out of 5 experience. Definitely be back.

    Amazing choice of products. Great server. Surprised by the quality and portion size of the food. Liked the choice of music... intelligent 70s 80s at a sensible volume. I'm a definate return customer. The sheep's name is Sam (the Suffolk) BTW.

    We had a lovely evening here. Great selection of beers. Beautiful food. Can highly recommend the spinach and feta filo parcels and the honeyed goats cheese.

    Absolutely stunning chicken gyros, very reasonably priced too, and an amazing Belgian beer selection.

  • 4/5 Nate 1 year ago on Google
    We stumbled across this by chance and couldn't resist popping in for a few drinks. A good selection of Belgian beers and a nice warm fire provided a welcome break. Very welcoming and chatty owner who was able to recommend a few other places to check out. Table service for drinks. They also serve food.

  • 5/5 Jeanette F. 9 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, great staff, extensive selection of beers. The food is outstanding. Every plate of food looked and tasted delicious. Outstanding dishes of note were the Asian steak, the giant king prawns and the filo pastry. And the owner is very handsome so ladies get down there!

  • 4/5 Gazza P. 5 months ago on Google
    Not changed much in years this place, and is fairly close in atmosphere to some of the bars I've been to in Belgium. Table service, as you'd expect, and a not bad range of Belgian beers, although IMO it's a touch safe and could do with some newer microbrewers on there. Still, I enjoyed my St Bernardus....

  • 5/5 Joe L. 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely food and drink. Had a lovely chat with the owner and fantastic service from the bar maid. Went in before a gig nearby and had a great time. Always worth a visit. Thanks.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 4 months ago on Google
    Superb selection of beers. A nice roaring fire and a good selection of tapas sharing plates.

  • 5/5 Kev W. 9 months ago on Google
    An amazing gem of a bar on Greenwood Street in Altrincham. Cozy in the evenings with open fire. A great range of bottled and draught beers served to your table by attentive, friendly staff. Did I mention the food? A gteat menu of small plates and some amazing kebabs. Give this place a visit if you're in the area, it never disappoints

  • 5/5 James R. 9 months ago on Google
    I know the owner of this bar, a very affable South African who certainly knows his European products (he runs a Tapas stall at Stockport's Foodie Friday once per month). Great selection of continental beers, even if they're not the cheapest (import fees etc.)

  • 5/5 Mark On The M. 6 years ago on Google
    Had a really nice couple of 'St-Feuillien Blond' beers. I was spoilt for choice on tap. This beer is lovely. I asked for something silimar to La Chouffe (but on tap) and the owner knew where to point me. I was given some nice salty nacho kinda chips too. There was a nice raging fireplace which warmed the 2 floors of the building nicely. Il definately come back.

  • 5/5 Ian F. 5 years ago on Google
    Great selection of Belgian Beers ranging from Pils to some great Trappist brews. Lovely to sit outside imagining you're tucked away in a small side street in Bruges or Ghent. Inside the bar the feeling of being in the low countries continues with dark wooden panels, open fire, small tables and on the second floor the typical spiral staircase.

    Nice Place with good food and a great variety of drinks

  • 5/5 Andrew C. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this bar. Cosy and relaxed. Interesting choice of drinks. Nice staff and table service. Great location opposite the market place and lots of restaurants. A few minutes walk from the metro.

  • 4/5 Toby P. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice bar worth a good selection of beers that are a break from the hoppy craft beer norm. Has a few draft and a fairly large menu of bottled beers. It is pretty small and service can be variable, particularly if you time it wrong. But a nice relaxed venue of you get it right.

  • 5/5 Libby M. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing! Great Customer service and advice on which beers to try, gave us samples which was very kind, extensive knowledge which is always what you want when you want to try something new. Gutted it was so quiet when we went because it was amazing!

  • 5/5 Anderjan 2 years ago on Google
    Good service, a comfortable European type pub with a good beer selection. I'll go back out of choice.

  • 5/5 Roy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice food and beer. Could do with fabric on walls to quiet it down a bit. Would definitely go back though. Very good.

  • 5/5 Winston B. 2 years ago on Google
    The service was outstanding. Kay was looking after us and we couldn't fault her. A great asset to Belgian Bar. Very friendly and nothing was to much bother and kept everybody watered and fed. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Fiona L. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a yummy lunch of chicken gyros which was reasonably priced. We sat outside and the service was attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was good. Worth a visit

  • 1/5 Ashley P. 2 years ago on Google
    In one word. Terrible. Ordered a Steak medium and couldn't believe how overcooked it was. Chef should re trade. Removed the service charge as staff seemed disinterested and felt as if we were an inconvenience although satisfied my money was returned. 1 star review as beer was nice. Photo of steak attached
