BELROY's Bijou
Antwerp
At a glance
BELROY's Bijou is a cocktail bar on Scheldestraat, in the lively area around Marnixplaats in Antwerp. The bar offers an evening setting centred on cocktails and spirits, with a style that gives bartending and conversation equal importance. Its location places it within a busy neighbourhood rather than a formal restaurant district, making it a natural stop for drinks before or after time spent around the square.
The menu is built around both familiar cocktail styles and more individual combinations. Classic drinks have a place at the bar, while the team also works with unexpected flavour pairings for guests looking for something less conventional. That balance gives the bar a flexible character: a straightforward cocktail suits a traditional order, while a more exploratory choice suits a night of tasting different spirits and combinations.
Spirits are central to the experience, and the bar’s approach is suited to guests who enjoy learning about what is in the glass as well as drinking it. The setting supports interaction with the bartenders, who can help shape a cocktail choice around a preferred style or mood. The result is a drinks-led venue rather than a destination built around a full meal, with the focus kept on preparation, flavour and the social rhythm of the bar.
BELROY's Bijou also has a clear connection to the wider BelRoy's cocktail identity, while retaining the scale and character of a neighbourhood bar. The address on Scheldestraat makes it convenient for an evening in the Zuid area, and the surrounding Marnixplaats adds an urban backdrop before or after a drink. Parking is available at Q-Park Kooldok for visitors arriving by car.
The bar suits cocktail enthusiasts, spirit drinkers and small groups seeking an evening place with a drinks-first focus. It can work for a classic cocktail, an unusual flavour combination or a conversation about spirits, without requiring a formal dining occasion. BELROY's Bijou opens every day from 17:00, giving the venue an evening-oriented role in the neighbourhood. The atmosphere is best understood as lively and social, with the bar itself at the centre of the experience.
