Bottle shop run by the Billie's Bier Kafetaria folks. Two taps for onsite drinking or growler take way.


Cozy corner pub with good food. Beer list seems to be constantly improving, with a few you don't see too often in Antwerp.


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.


Cafe Pardaf  Fred Honorable Mention WiFi available Closed Monday

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


Classic brown cafe just behind the cathedral.


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.


Not here so much for it's beer selection but for it's location: right on the Grote Markt. A good place for an early bolleke of De Koninck, especially in nice weather. The name roughly translates to "rascal," "scamp," or "naughty boy" etc.


Down a small side street and almost unmarked, so look closely. Officially from 8pm but seems sometimes to open sooner.


The Eleventh Commandment: Eat, drink and be merry. Next to the Cathedral. The place is packed with religious statuary. Four house beers and four guests.


Korsakov  WiFi available New entry in the Guide in 2018

Funky neighborhood place with some interesting beers.


Kulminator A Fred top pick  Closed Sunday Closed Monday Open 11am or earlier

Massive beer selection including a large selection of aged beers and beers from closed breweries. Literally a "Mom and Pop" operation, service can be a bit slow when they are crowded.


Oud Arsenaal  Fred Honorable Mention Closed Monday Closed Tuesday Open 11am or earlier


Right next to the Cathedral. Belgian bar food (pasta, omelets, croques, etc.)


Brewery tap at the back of a warehouse/industrial complex. The entrance is through what looks like a garage on Lamorinierestraat. Now brewing beers on site.


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.
