De Muze

“Super lekkere moscow mule & vriendelijk personeel.”

I visited many bars in Antwerp, but this place stays with you. The atmosphere is impossible to fake — centuries-old brick walls, dim lighting, live jazz echoing through the room and a crowd that genuinely comes for the music.

It gives the impression they’re not particularly engaged with the atmosphere or the jazz scene. That said, the quality of the music and the selection of great beers largely compensate for these shortcomings.
