This long-running pub is a beer lover's paradise that stocks around 500 Belgian ales.
Dogma's speakeasy--meets--gentlemen's club vibe—all-leather Chesterfields, jazz, and candlelight—is just set dressing for the real craft that goes into its drinks. The cocktail menu arrives leather bound and covered in scribbles and notes; the drinks themselves are no less schooled, materialising with teapots spouting dry ice or bursting with fruit in an old jam jar, and crafted from homemade bitters. It's like a drink and a show in one! It's closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Yes, it's rammed with tourists—it's on the Grote Markt after all— but it's also got an epic selection of beers (30 on tap; 400 bottles) and outside seating overlooking the city's iconic square.
Het Roze Huis is Antwerp's gay and lesbian community house, with a straight-friendly café, Den Draak ("The Dragon"), on the ground floor; evenings downstairs tend to run into the small hours (3 am) on most nights.

Taking its name from a neurological disorder linked to alcohol abuse, this quirky, artsy café-bar has cultivated a loyal following among the in-crowd of hipster-drenched Mechelseplein. There's live music some nights.

This typical "brown café" (old-style bar, all dark wood and nicotine-stained walls) has been operating since 1929---and little has changed. It's been in the same family for three generations and serves up a good selection of beers (particularly some unusual gueuze and kriek beers) at a decent price—much to the delight of its dedicated locals.
The atmospheric Pelgrom is in the vaulted brick cellars of a 16th-century tavern, and it stocks more than 100 different beers.
The atmospheric Pelgrom is found in the vaulted brick cellars of an old 16th-century tavern beneath the Burgher House museum. Be warned: it's a bit of a tourist trap, given its medieval setting, but novelty value alone helps you to see past the group tours and steep prices.
This classy, corner cocktail joint attracts the well-heeled and those who know their way around a humidor. The drinks are excellent and created with homemade bitters and infusions. Cocktail maestro Manuel Wouters used to sling mojitos aboard the QE2 and is something of a local celeb in his own right.
Global street food paired with fine wines is the name of the game at this cozy wine bar with an urban vibe.
