Seats at the bar, around the bar, and in several quirky rooms located through the place. It has a old world charm and vibe. Being in a neighborhood, it's popular with locals not tourists, which are the places I actively seek out. Prices are very good, the sausage snack was fantastic. The people are friendly, which is something I always appreciate when traveling alone. They have a big selection of snacks or meals, but I was here at 430 so just had the sausage. Softly in the background they have old records from the 40s playing which adds to the charm. I highly recommend this place. Be sure to see Cogels Osylei two blocks away!

If you are in the area, you have to grab a drink at this place. Its best in summer/fall but can get very very crowded. love the outdoor patio facing the town square.

This place used to be a factory where they made pitch. When they threw the first parties in this…read moreplace some people got nausciaus and headaches. Afterwards they found out it was because of the pitch still laying on the floor and people getting unwell of the smell. Nowadays the pitch is long gone but the venue still looks like an industrial factory. Even though it's a cool location, the sound sucks balls! And be prepared for some hipster party! Another shitty review by the shitty guide of Antwerpen.

Skybar is located on top of Lindner Hotel, close to Antwerpen-centraal train station. The building…read moreis not exactly tall, but it does offer a very nice view of the city. Antwerp is not known for skyscrapers after all. The bar is very spacious and cleanly decorated. Pretty classy in my opinion. I talked a bit with the bartender and told him that I was looking for a boozy cocktail that would match a bulleit rye bottle that I noticed in the bar. He didn't have any in the menu, but suggested his take on a classic: a smoked pumpkin old fashioned. I thought that the smoke was just shenanigans, but in this case it added some peat to the cocktail. I loved it. It was nice to relax a bit with a nice view and a great cocktail in hand. Too bad I could not stay long, as I had dinner scheduled with some friends in another restaurant. I can see myself spending a quality evening there. Oh, well, next time I guess.

I went there for dinner and there is only a set menu with either 3 or 4 courses starting from €44,…read morewhich I find expensive. Especielly when looking at what people was getting for that money (not very much). With the very expensive menue with very little flexibility and seemingly low value for money, I decided to only have a drink and some finger foods. On the wine list they do not have any options if you want wine by the glass only 1 white, red and rose house wine is available, which I find is really limited - especielly when you call yourself a lounge bar. Their finger food is store bought tortilla chips (bad quality) with a "Chef's famous home made salsa" which is a store bought salsa that they've added chopped tomatoes, corn and onions. I also had their large chips with sea salt which were large squares of potato chips that were covered in sea salt, very salty. In addition they were served on a piece of wood that had been chemically treated (toxic!!). I would say - come here if you want coctails and a view - for that it's great!

Magic is more and more starting to be the place to be for party people who wanna be seen but also…read moredon't wanna be seen. Magic is the kinda place where you can just chill out with friends. It's not too crowded and the door policy is very strict. If you are not on the list, you don't enter. I look the music and the atmosphere but one of the big downside is the drink prices. 4 EUR for soda's and beer and up to 12 EUR for rum and coke. But beside that, I'm a fan.
