Inside of Het Kathedraalcafé
Gladys Q.

Their home blonde brew is by far one of my favorite top 5 beers I had in Belgium...with De Koninck and Duvel included in the list of course. The beer list is quite extensive but the staff is eager to suggest beers based on your liking. The bar itself has a great outdoor seating area but by far the best part of this bar is the interior decor! Never seen anything like it. The only downside is it's location in a way. It's in the middle of downtown, down a side street of the Grote Markt. Don't get me wrong, Antwerp is a BEAUTIFUL city! But because it's in a very touristy area of Antwerp, you will most likely be surrounded by really loud and drunk tourists.

This bar came to the rescue when I arrived to check into my hotel to discover it's closed up and…read morethe square was being dug up and resurfaced... 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!

Yeah, I'm going to have to admit that this place wasn't all that bad. Okay, don't expect something…read morehip or flash, but it certainly has a bit of character about it. 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.

Bar Deco - Home away from home. Waar het goed toeven is met goede muziek. En de locale altijd in zijn voor 'n praatje en 'n politiek debat.
