Cafe Ernst  Serves food Closed Monday Closed Tuesday New entry in the Guide in 2019

Modern cafe near the riverfront with a good tap list.


Corner pub near the University, this Scottish bar has over 100 whiskies. Beer selection is average. In a new location, around the corner from 't Waagstuk.


Cafe Mombasa  Live Music Closed Monday New entry in the Guide in 2017

A funky corner pub in the Borgerhout district (east of Centraal Station). Lots of bicycling racing memorabilia on the walls. Nothing special in the taps but a decent bottle selection and friendly staff. I am told it is a great place to watch the cycling on TV. Live music on Sundays.

Improved tap list and an impressive bottle list. Also a great selection of bag-in-the-box lambics.

Station 1280  Closed Sunday Closed Monday New entry in the Guide in 2018 Bottle shop

Bottle shop and tasting room formerly in Antwerp Centraal Station, but now in the city. Beers can be consumed onsite or taken away. Beers on draft for tasting. A bit hard to find in the Oudaan shopping center.


't Waagstuk  WiFi available Serves food Closed Monday

A bit hard to find, off of a small side street, but worth the effort. Extensive beer menu.


Traditional Antwerp brown cafe that had declined over the years and then closed. Reopened with more focus on beer and getting better with each visit.
