Came across this bar whilst visiting Christmas Markets in Antwerp. Slightly of the main area, this is a little hidden gem of a place. I think what really makes it was the owner/s who made us feel really welcome, not only us but with all the customers . The bar is traditional lay its not tootrendy but has a quirky appeal too. We asked for some tastes of Belgium beer and he really seemed to wanted to help us chose so enthusiastic, there was a menu of several pages A4 all beers! Too much for us so we asked for his help and a selection of beers were chosen and that’s the start of a very pleasant evening. During the evening he would go round check customers were all good. As the bar got busier. we were speaking to a couple sitting next to us they said they were regulars and this was the best bar in Antwerp, I can well believe that too. If we lived here we would be back and back again. Dear Owner wish we had your bar in our home town. We give 6 out of 5 if we could very nice evening and nice beer and company.

Without any doubt the best bar you can find in Antwerp. Not your average bar, mainly focused on nightlife, but recently opening times have changed and the bar is open around 16pm. Incredibly friendly owners, a huge selection of common and rare spirits and hard liquors, different beers on draft and a dj booth make visiting Philly's a true pleasure. Original cocktails, various shots, a nice terrace in a typical small side street on walking distance from the Grand Market and city hall and the river Schelde, are all just nice plusses to make ones choice easier: this is the place to be. While a lot of other bars serve mixed drinks with low quality ingredients, only true and real brands are used here. Definitely worth a visit, guaranteed you'll come back.

Still, after almost 11 years one of the best, if not the best (for me at least), bars in town. The service is fast, the drinks are great, with a wide variety of beers and hard liquor. Combine this with the nice atmosphere which the owner and his lovely wife maintain and you can never go wrong with spending your precious time and hard earned money. Also: should you ever think of having any kind of party there (like a birthday or what not) let the boss know, and he'll make it a night to never forget.

Great prices, wide range of drinks, also some you've never heard of before as they are unique to the bar. The atmosphere is always nice and the owner is very warm and accommodating! I've been here for birthdays and my own bachelorette party and they always make sure it is a memorable night! One of my favorite places to go to! The picture below is the decoration for halloween (duh)

Op een warme zondag genoten lekkere drankjes en super lekker eten vanop de grill. De saté en de braadworst waren heerlijk. Het interieur is super cool, allemaal muziek cassettes van het walkman tijdperk! Top bar. Let op! De rode bak in de wc is niet voor de handjes te wassen!

Went in for a quick bite to eat during a day out; ordered the Classic Philly Cheese Steak and it was delicious all around and got it served timely too ! The bread was freshly baked and so soft, the meat was tender en fresh, the cheese was so good !

Always feel welcome here whether I am alone or with a friend. The Landlord & lady are a fabulously friendly couple that look after their clientele whether they are locals or first timers …

Gemütliche Bar mit sehr aufmerksamen Personal. Es werden viele verschiedene Biere angeboten. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden immer wieder kommen und einen Besuch empfehlen

Gezellig bruin café. De bartender die er stond was gezellig en professioneel. Heelijke bieren gedronken die in Nederland niet of lastig te krijgen zijn. Een dikke 5 sterren waard.

Bar with one of the best sound systems in the city (and several events that make use of it), great selection of beers and lethal cocktails topped off with friendly service.

Schijnt een nachtcafe te zijn, maar 's middags ook al erg gezellig. Toffe bediening, lekker bier. Aanrader. Niet naar die grote cafés gaan maar gewoon hier binnenstappen

Small but great genuine Antwerp bar with lots of locals but very welcoming towards any other nationality. Great variety of beers, excellent parties.

Nice place, nice atmosphere, nice alcohol and very cool barman
