I had managed to convince my fellow travellers that we needed to go to see Ruben's house, knowing full-well that there wouldn't be enough time for a proper visit, so as I let out a slightly over-dramatic sigh, I turned, looked around and suggested that we could get out of the cold by popping into here to warm up. Admittedly, the detour to see the house was a cover to get to this bar, as I'd read so much about the decor.Now, in mid-Summer, I imagine it's wonderful place to sit outside and watch the world go by, by in December we wanted to be inside. As soon as you step in you notice how charming the place is. You may also notice how small it is and when the three of us entered, it suddenly became crowded with tourists!A small bar to the left and a few tables and chairs on the right are all that's needed and my only grumble would be that we didn't get a table, but hey, it's their local not mine, so not much of a grumble. The decor is a mix of Art Deco from both sides of the Atlantic and every surface has at least some embellishment. The list of beers isn't so long as to drive you mad and the owners/staff were happy to offer suggestions. Unfortunately, there were very many more places to visit between here and our hotel, otherwise I would have liked to enjoy the atmosphere in the evening, but if I come back to Antwerp, I'd happily pop in again. I might even try to factor in enough time to visit Ruben's house. All in all, this is a lovely bar and the only reason for not getting 5/5 is that we didn't try the food.If you get a chance, peer over the bar to get a look at how they keep track of which table orders what. I'm sure it works for them, but for all we could tell, they might have been decoding secret messages.

As a counterpoint to the adjacent cathedral, Elfde Gebod (The Last Supper) could be seen as in bad taste... problem is, the food is very tasty indeed. The dimly-lit rooms have been stacked from floor to ceiling with religious statues... Christ, the Holy Family and hundreds of saints. It was fun to try to identify some of them. I had a seafood stew that I would recommend. If you can cope with having a good time while sitting under a bas-relief of the Crucifixion, go to Elfde Gebod for its quaintness alone.

Really enormous quantity of beer, everybody finds something for himself. Beer tasty. Not much food, but it’s also quality and taste. Portions rather big. Staff polite, kind and sociable.You wouldn’t find here Belgium cuisine or amazing delicacies but here you will find really good beer, nice atmosphere and hearty meals.

Velazquez has both small plates and large and i think they are all good. I was traveling alone on business and found several delicious small plates. Two small plates makes a great dinner for one person and allows you to choose interesting combinations. The soft shell crab is especially good.Thank you for you nice comment!We do appriciate it very much.

Billie's Bier Kafetaria

Friday the thirteenth in December 2013 Billie's Beer Kafetaria opened the doors. The original name was still just "the Kafetaria. " Billie's Beer Kafetaria is part of a dying breed of genuine, old-fashioned brown cafes. Billie's Kafetaria Beer is not just

Billie's Bier Kafetaria is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best beer bars in this most beautiful of cities. The bar looks super, an authentic traditional interior set over two floors with great decor and furnishings including a cool looking serving bar and innumerable beer posters and enamels adorning the walls and there's plenty of seating options spread throughout this bar, it's a great bar perfect to unwind in. My twin brother Stephen and I were here on a Monday night, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of staff who took our order of a beer each,we opted to have an ipa from Founders Brewery, these were served in excellent condition being iced cold and sparkling and we just chilled out and soaked up the great vibe in this busy and popular pub. Ive been to this bar on many occasions over the years, the range of beers is always interesting and the quality of the way the beers is served is always exceptional, this probably explains why this bar is always busy.My ipa was outstanding, a rich,hoppy and well balanced beer bursting with taste and very easy on the tongue, an ipa with character. We both really enjoyed our beers and although we only stayed for the one beer and our visit was only fleeting as on every other visit to Billie's Bier Kafetaria we had a great time. Billie's Bier Kafetaria is really easy to locate on a street called Kammenstraat. A great bar,if your in the area well worth a visit.
