Bar Palmier  Serves food Closed Monday Closed Tuesday New entry in the Guide in 2018

Upscale place with raw (“natural”) wine and a very good beer list.


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


Tap room for Antwerpse Brouw Compagnie


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

New 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.


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 bicycle races on TV. Live music on Sundays.


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.

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