The owner told him he left and couldn't come back. The city is gross, parking is near impossible and this owner is the worst of the worst, I honestly can't believe he is allowed to do "business". Do yourself a favor and go to Bruges, kinder people, a fairytale environment and the best fries and waffles you'll ever have.

Sadly it seems, the owner does not like business or money. Or perhaps he just enjoys treating Kulminator as his own private club, as opposed to a normal beer bar where everyone is welcome. The owner greeted us at the door, asking us why we wished to come in and we were denied entry upon our response. We later found out that if you do not give the very specific response of "being there to TASTE (not drink) beer", you are turned away. Pompous, and absolutely ridiculous. I have no interest in trying to go back.

I'm not beer drinker but I did stop by to try their beef stew also known as Vlaams Stoofvlees. Wheeeeeew baby. Their gravy sauce for the stew is rich and thick. You literally can pick out the herbs when you eat. There's nothing fake about this place. That meal honestly can be shared amongst two people. It was an interesting twist for me to eat a chicory salad. Never have I ever. Yet, it was earthy and tasty. Great health benefits too. One thing you'll notice in Belgium is there Mayo and ketchup is real not processed. You can literally taste the difference. If you're ever in Antwerp for even a couple of hours, make it your business to stop by and treat yourself to good food and beer.

The food menu looked nice, but I couldn't pass up their asparagus menu because it's currently asparagus season. I've never had white asparagus, and let me tell you, it's a must try. It also comes with a beer pairing. The staff members are great but the restaurant understaffs, so the service is slow. Our group felt bad for the team serving us even though we had to wait over an hour for our food to come out. The staff was apologetic and checked in; made sure they at least served us drinks while we waited.

Six dudes hitting the town in Antwerp for a night of delicious beer were more than welcome here. Of course, we came here for one reason above all others: St. Bernardus Abt 12 on tap!!!

The bar owner, his wife, and several of the servers chatted with us extensively about the bar, the beer, the city, etc. All were extremely friendly, helpful, and generous.
