Unfortunately not what it used to be. There is no more service, you have to order yourself at the counter. They speak to you in English. No, we won't be back. Where is that nice pub from back then?

Very nice old bar just next to Grote Markt. You feel like you step into a time machine entering this bar, hence there is also no card py terminal so don’t forget cash. The prices are payable, but the beer tapping is very poor and foamy. Friendly staff though! Every Thursday there is a poker evening, which starts at 7pm and has a buyin of 5 euros. Very loose atmosphere here and a lot of expats! Check meetup for actual information.

(Translated by Google) Great bartender! Nice location and tasty beers! Recommended with a big fat capital letter !!! (Original) Top barman! Leuke locatie en lekkere biertjes! Aanrader met een dikke vette hoofdletter!!!

(Translated by Google) Very nice bar, but the bartender has a terrible northern neighborhood accent. Chance da she has a funny face. (Original) Zeer leuke bar, maar de barvrouw heeft een vreselijk noorderbuurs accent. Chance da ze een koddig snoetje heeft.

(Translated by Google) Cold and uncomfortable. In the past much better. (Original) Koud en ongezellig. Vroeger veel beter.

(Translated by Google) Witch of the ministry is smoking outside and says that she has no time to serve because she is very busy. Eucalipta is nothing. (Original) Heks vd bediening staat buiten te roken en zegt dan dat ze geen tijd heeft om te serveren omdat ze het erg druk heeft. Eucalipta is er niets bij.

(Translated by Google) Staff are allowed to smoke outside or to drink inside themselves. If it is not one of these 2 options, look for them somewhere in a corner. The name for the managers and staff would be better cafe the public alcoliekers association. (Original) Personeel sta of buiten te roken of binnen zelf te zuipen. Als het niet een van deze 2 opties zijn zoek ze dan maar ergens in een hoekje. De naam voor de uitbaters en het personeel zou beter cafe de openbare alcoliekers vereniging zijn.

Cozy, quieter bar (in a small side street next to the Grote Markt) with friendly service. Large selection of beers (also on tap). Good coffee...

Lovely little Brune cafe in art deco style

We sat upstairs, after 20 minutes in ,no one showed up to pick up our orders, a friend of mine went downstairs and ask one of their staffs if thy serve upstairs, he said and i quote: " do i have stupid written on my forehead?"... i sometimes wonder how some businesses here stay in business..

Very special warm and cozy atmosphere. Wooden panels, old photos, signs and ads. Various sorts of Belgian beer. Never orget.

awesome experience there! really charming environment with good music. lots of options of Belgium beers. i would suggest to try then all but especially the "chouffe", that for me is the best <3

Highly recommend the bar! It is small, cozy, perfect atmosphere, excellent service, nice music, good beers and beautiful view. Love this place.

Superb local bar, good choice of beers and good house wine too and hot strong coffee. Even played ska music on request! Extremely good value for money & great friendly barman. Great find if you’re looking for an English type pub! Cheers guys 👍🏻

Simply quaint. Our “favorite place”. In Germany it would be called a “pub”. Every age, every social class available. Draft and bottled beers. Price ok for Antwerp. A nice place to hang out.

Great place for beer in Antwerp.

Cozy cafe

Lovely cafe run by mother and daughter. Welcoming and perfect for hanging out at the bar and mixing with the local regulars

Coolest and coziest brown bar next to the cathedral of Antwerp. Ask for a sausage when you are feeling a bit peckish. They are amazing.

very good service

Great little pub. Lovely staff!

Edit: bar is closed! A very typical Flemish bar. Cozy interior, very friendly staff and relatively cheap drinks, especially considering the location.

(Translated by Google) Super cozy (Original) Super gezellig

(Translated by Google) A super cozy place to have a good beer. The best, that of Antwerp. The owner, a super nice person who started talking to us in Spanish and that turned out to have been in Cádiz the previous year. A conversation of the best. A while of the best. Where am i from Well, from Cádiz. (Original) Un lugar super acogedor para tomar una buena cerveza. La mejor, la de amberes. La dueña, una persona super agradable que se puso a hablar con nosotros en Español y que resultó que había estado en Cádiz el año anterior. Una conversación de lo mejor. un rato de lo mejor.

(Translated by Google) Delicious brown pub near the cathedral. Quiet and therefore ideal place for a good chat during the week, no doubt a lot busier during the weekend evenings. Something for everyone, size especially: service with a smile and delicious beers from the barrel. (Original) Heerlijke bruine kroeg vlakbij de kathedraal. Rustig en dus ideale plek voor een goede babbel tijdens de week, ongetwijfeld een pak drukker tijdens de avonden in het weekend. Voor elk wat wils dus, maat vooral: bediening met de glimlach en heerlijke bieren van 't vat.

Cozy bar with good drinks selection. Usually it's self service though.

Lovely bar. Feels very traditional. Looks like it has never changed. Very reasonable prices too.

Decent beer selection, prices, and service. FYI cash only. Seems like a place locals hang.

Cheap (not expensive ). Nice old interior design. Jong and old. Groups. Good choice of beers.

Super friendly staff, cold beer from tap, Bollekes all the way.

Local crowd, nice beer selection. Perfect for a taste of Belgian beer culture.

Onvriendelijk en koffie in karton bekertje niet aan te raden

It's nice to have a second level upstairs, but their selection of beers is just too short.

A few friends and I were looking for a great spot to take in some Belgium beers, rub shoulders with some locals and soak in some atmosphere. The bar itself is traditional with subtle touches of Art Deco amongst the dark wooden panelling and beers plaques typical in Belgium. The locals and bar man had a slight rock n roll vibe with great tunes from Bowie to Violent Femmes filling the air. The locals were more than keen to sup a few of their finest with ya. Just keep hold of your coat tails as that stuff is strong - frequently > 8%. You get the jist this is good bar.
