Bar Paniek

Top choice in Antwerp


In a series of old warehouses transformed by an artists' collective, this magical hang-out has concrete floors, barely hanging together arrays of old windows, and a supersized rickshaw on the big dock-front terrace. Add excellent cheap, well-chosen local beers and it's no surprise that Paniek is the latest Antwerp in-place.

Beers cost from €2, but it's well worth the extra euro for a fascinating Bootjes Bier, with its hints of apricot, ginger and coriander.
