👍👍 Cozy bar with friendly owners. They have a lot of good craft beers and frequently new beers in stock and on tap. You can watch sports on the television in the bar. They have a very sweet dog, a chowchow named Syd. Dogs are allowed, if they can get along with Syd 😅. People often mention beers, beer, friendly, great, selection, Great, nice, good, staff, Nice,

    Right in the old city centre, very easy to find. Large choice of beers (they serve Lupulus, which is a favorite of mine!). Very friendly and professional staff. Nice pub, very recommendable. I will surely come here again!

    Well, when there's no good game around the place is quite empty and then on other days is packed. Nice people, cute doggy, good variety of nice beer and there's even some kind of food to accompany the drink, which is rare in Belgium

    Bartender is unbelievably rude. The drinks and atmosphere are amazing but I’d rather saw my arm off with a dull, rusty knife than deal with him. I think he hates working there. He turned the TVs off partway through a sporting event and refused to turn them back on when we asked. He also cursed at us and was in a generally foul mood. I’ll never go back.

    This is such a GREAT bar. If you stay long enough you might meet the cute(est) dog of the owner. And don't forget: there is a pretty bartender (Shay) who knows which beers to drink. No food except special cheeses but still THE place to go!
  • 5/5 Andrew A. 2 years ago on Google
    Cosy bar. Very helpful and friendly staff. Good selection of beers. Lots of screens for sport. Good tunes. Highly recommended.
  • 5/5 Jorge A. 2 years ago on Google
    A hidden gem in the city. What you expect to be a British/Irish pub happens to have an excellent beer menu. Sometimes football fans overwhelm me but this is more customer related than service, options and place, which are excellent.
  • 5/5 Ben B. 4 years ago on Google
    Top great beer bar, must visit!
  • 5/5 Luke O. 2 years ago on Google
    A pub that feels like home is a rare find. A pint, a chat and a friendly dog to greet you, what more could you ask for? Come for the beers, stay for the craic. A must for anyone visiting Antwerp!
  • 5/5 Robert W. 2 years ago on Google
    Small but with a good beer selection. Food is limiter to chips and sandwiches and the like. It's a nice place to stop and have a beer.

    Found this bar while walking around the streets and decided to pop in while spending the day in Antwerp, great atmosphere, closest pint of Guinness I've gotten since being at home. Was a pleasure to speak with Paul, he was very kind and welcoming and very knowledgeable on the beers available! Would definitely recommend this bar!
  • 4/5 Udit M. 1 year ago on Google
    A typical European sports bar with lots of options for beer lovers. They don't serve food and I would suggest to reach early for the table. Prices are very reasonable and could easily spend couple of hours with your friends.
  • 4/5 Himika G. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice place to hangout with friends and enjoy the matches on TV screen. It provides only drinks not food but time passes very quickly because of the atmosphere and people. The attendant is very friendly and polite. Overall we enjoyed a lot..
  • 5/5 Tom V. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice cozy pub with friendly staff, a very good selection of local as well as international craft beers. Nice location in a small street and far enough to not be overcrowded by tourists. If you want to drink a good beer and catch a game this is definitely a good spot!
  • 5/5 Mylan 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, helpful and fast bar workers. Cozy and small on the first floor but there is also an upstairs. Sports on the screen and a big assortiment of drinks! Really nice pub!
  • 5/5 Zak S. 1 year ago on Google
    A hidden gem in the city of Antwerp. Great beer selection at cheap prices with a cosy feel due to the small capacity. Great for watching sports

  • 5/5 Johan O. 8 months ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Went here for a few beers, and the menu did not disappoint, with both modern craft beer and high quality belgian beers. Talked some with the owner who was a true beer lover and gave some amazing tips and really took time to give the best service you could imagine! Strongly recommend to check this place out!

  • 4/5 Leo H. 4 years ago on Google
    Small but friendly bar, with an excellent selection of beers, as you would hope to find in Antwerp.
  • 4/5 Norbert A. 4 years ago on Google
    Combine the atmosphere of a northern pub with the quality of Belgian beers and you have yourself a jewel of a combination. And when you do, make sure to augment your libations with a selection of cheese and sausage to make sure there's a foundation upon which to pour your drinks. To me, a great starting point on route to discover more.

  • 5/5 luis f. 4 years ago on Google
    My girlfriend and I went on a small trip to Antwerp; a very special city with great shops, restaurants, bars and stores. Of the multiple bars I went to; the Northener felt the coziest; it's on a small and very nice looking brick street. The beer served here is great and the customer service by the owner was very friendly! Highly recommend grabbing a few cold ones here!
  • 5/5 Meg E. 4 years ago on Google
    A fantastic bar in a great location. Wonderful and helpful staff, great tunes, good atmosphere, and amazing beers. Highly recommended!
  • 4/5 Bjorn de L. 4 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, Paul knows his sours. Although not a massive beerlist it does have quite unique stuff on the bottle/can. Would recommend, also because it's not so crowded and has comfortable seating. Other places in the same area are for weird reasons overcrowded while not at all that special.

    Great beer bar. Excellent selection of craft beers! They also serve the classic Belgian keepers. I loved the music and there even was a super fluffy dog. Nice staff, we will be back for sure.
  • 5/5 Bjorn van de B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great place! Good beer and for the ipa enthusiasts there is a choice as Belgium is still quite conservative in terms of beer supply. Maja what do you want with such a beer culture? (Original) Geweldige plek! Goed bier en ook voor de ipa liefhebbers is er keuze daar België nog best conservatief is qua bieraanbod. Maja wat wil je met zo'n biercultuur?

Perfect couple of hours i spent here, a place which you should visit!
