L'Entrepot du Congo, Antwerp

Sometimes, nothing beats a smoky pub. And this cosy cafe delivers. The ambience is a magnificent mixture of chatting students, pensive writers and card-playing old men. From morning to night, this bar is brimming with an eclectic mix of lives all hunched over a coffee or a beer. Hungry? Snacks are served as well. The decor is simple: wooden tables, wooden chairs, a wooden bar and tile floors. But, you don't come here for that. The people, the smoky atmosphere and the drink are all you need.
