Ion Stan
★★★★★8 months agoA must-visit for beer lovers! Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant has an authentic vibe and an amazing selection — over 25 beers on tap, including the world’s best-rated beer, Delirium Tremens. The bartenders are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, always ready with great recommendations — much friendlier than at Dulle Griet. You can’t see the barrels, but just imagine 25 kegs lined up in the cellar, waiting to pour some of the best beers in Belgium. A perfect spot to enjoy a pint by the water with great people. 🍻

★★★★★2 years agoWhat a quality place this is. A massive variety of Belgian beers on display. The staff are very welcoming and polite and also extremely helpful. The beer is just awesome and there is also a good variety of snacks. The place is very warm and old fashioned, definitely recommend this to anyone visiting 🙌
