Like any other panicked traveller, I sought comfort in the nearest pub... and I'm glad it was this one. At the bar, the barman recognising I wasn't from a round here and quickly jumped into English mode and helped me out has I was trying to choose from the crazy long list of Belgium beers available. With the drink on order, I asked him if he knew what was going on around the corner and told him my hotel woes... He was really friendly, helped me get set up on wifi to try line up another place to stay and even went so far, by checking out a few local options on booking.com from his own mobile - seriously, this made what would have been a bad situation actually ok! I settled for another drink before hitting the road, I got another placed lined up which was one of his recommendations, all within my budget. Really, this type of hospitality was over and beyond... Went back on my last night in Antwerp but must have missed his shift, I wanted to thank him again for being such a gentleman... Absolutely gem! The bar itself, really good vibe... My first visit, I had set myself up outside on the terraced seating which was great, it's the perfect afternoon sun trap... On my second visit, was later in the evening so I sat instead... There was a great friendly vibe going on here; a number of accents and languages chit-chatting away and some friendly banter, people saying hello and even, offering to buy me another drink, etc. I think, if I lived nearby it would definitely be a place I'd come by regularly... It has a cheers vibe to it, 'where everybody knows your name' Cheers Art Deco... It was a pleasure!

The bar itself is close to the cathedral, however the view from outside really isn't all that fantastic. In fact it sort of reminds me of a Belgium, or even an Antwerp, version of an old man's pub. The interior was quite nice though, and the staff reasonably friendly, and if you aren't particularly interested in anything too touristy then this place certainly works, but it doesn't really sit all that high on my ratings.

Okay, this may not be at the top of the Yelp list of pubs, but it was the only one that was open…read morewhen I happened to be in Antwerp and I have to admit that it was pretty cool. Actually, what was annoying was that the outside area was pretty packed which meant that we ended up having to sit inside, which wasn't a bad thing, but the European outside experience is much better than it is in Australia (in many cases they try to be European and fail abyssimally - for some reason I simply don't like sitting on sidewalk seats in Australia). Anyway, this is basically a beer bar, and a pretty cool one at that. When I was there it was pretty quiet (except for the fact that there were no seats outside) but it had a pretty nice atmosphere and a great interior. Personally I probably can't say all that much beyond that, expect that it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it.

They have 12 menus of "linked" whiskeys which are awesome. They are the "regular" whiskeys, not the specials bottlings. This doesn't hurt however, because you get to taste the whiskeys you didn't dare to buy yourself. My favorite is the single cask menu. 4 strong, single malt whiskeys: served as it should be. The right glass, the right amount of whiskey and a little bit of water (including pipet). I recommend this place to everyone willing to drink a whiskey (or even beer).

After some deliberation, I have decided to upgrade this place to four stars from my initial…read moreinclination of three because I love their vegetarian options. This place is tucked away in a corner between two of the main cobblestone streets. I brought my family here for brunch during our stay in Antwerp. GF and I were strongly considering their vegan tapas tower but in the interest of saving room for other snax throughout the day, decided against it and instead, ordered their veggie croque monsieur which I was also excited about seeing on the menu. Both of my parents ordered a chicken salad bagel or something in that neighborhood. We probably irritated the fuck out of the wait staff because we needed to ask for more time on more than one occasion. My parents pretty much live under a rock so they asked some strange and confusing questions. The food arrived and was certainly visually pleasing. Unfortunately, it became apparent very quickly that BF and I had both been given regular croques. GF is very anti-confrontation and elected to just pull the ham off of hers which also takes off most of the cheese, leaving her with just bread. I felt inclined to receive and pay for what I actually ordered so I brought the mistake to the attention of the waiter. The waiter proceeded to argue with me about what I ordered. Sir, I am a vegetarian and would never order a regular croque monsieur. Everyone at the table agreed that I distinctly said "VEGGIE" croque monsieur. He ultimately brought me back the correct one as we all speculated that it was probably acquainted with the floor or pubic hairs. I will admit that the sandwich was pretty good as was the accompanying salad. My parents loved their bagel. The food was enjoyable but I would have appreciated a more friendly approach by the waiter to the mistake.

Turns out that the guy sitting on the stool next to me did speak Russian, so that was out of the question.
