Hidden Belgium: De Kat

Hidden Belgium: De Kat

This old, almost historic, Antwerp bar in the Wolstraat has a handsome interior of wood panelling and mirrors dating back to the 1910s. It’s a friendly spot to sit with a bolleke of De Koninck beer while the locals around you play chess or argue politics.

Occasionally, an old yellow tram will rumble past the window. And some evenings, you might be lucky enough to stumble upon an informal jazz concert.
