Bier Central

Fred says

I really hesitated adding this place to this Guide because it is really not worthy. Its saving grace is it is very near Centraal Station. If you are staying in the area or have time to kill before a train it may be worth a stop. If this was in any other country I would say it was the first in a chain of "Belgian Themed" pubs -- it's "Belgian" in the same way all those pubs you run across are "Irish." Service is often slow, beers are overpriced and not all the bottles are treated well -- plus they don't always serve the beer in its proper glass (a cardinal sin in Belgium) A relatively large number of taps (for Belgium) is a plus.

Fred always told me not to bother with Bier Central, and I kind of know why - there are much better places in town. However, we have been to the Antwerp and Brussels branches and feel they are worth including in the Guide. Yes they are relatively expensive, but the beer range is good and they also do food, which was good in both locations we've visited. So for me it's not my first choice, but a handy back up worth a look now and again.
