Cafe Baron

Cafe Baron is a drinks-led café-bar at Statiestraat 24 in Antwerp. Its menu places beer, wine, aperitifs, cocktails, spirits, coffee and soft drinks at the centre, making the venue suited to a casual stop for a drink rather than a meal-focused visit.

Beer is a major part of the offering. The selection covers familiar Belgian lagers, wheat beer, fruit beer, amber styles, IPA, tripels, Trappist beer and gueuze. The range includes both well-known Belgian labels and a number of local references, including De Koninck and Tripel d’Anvers. A small selection of alcohol-free beer is also available, giving non-drinking visitors an alternative to the standard beer list.

Wine is served by the glass or bottle in white, red and rosé styles. The drinks menu also includes sparkling wine, port, vermouth, Campari, Ricard and other aperitif options. This makes Cafe Baron appropriate for an early evening aperitif as well as a more traditional café visit.

Cocktail choices include classics and familiar mixed drinks such as a Moscow Mule, Bloody Mary, Negroni and Paloma. Several non-alcoholic mixed drinks are listed as well, including alcohol-free versions of fruit-led and citrus-based serves. Gin, vodka, rum, tequila, whisky, cognac, liqueurs and jenever extend the menu for visitors looking for a spirit or digestif.

For a simpler visit, the café serves coffee, tea, soft drinks, fruit juice, tonic, ginger ale and ginger beer. The overall style is straightforward and drinks-focused, with enough range to suit different preferences within one group. Beer enthusiasts can explore Belgian styles, cocktail drinkers have several established options, and guests avoiding alcohol can choose from soft drinks, mocktails or alcohol-free beer.

Cafe Baron is therefore best approached as a flexible café-bar for conversation, an aperitif or a mixed drinks stop. The menu supports visits at different points in the day, from coffee and tea to beer, wine, cocktails and digestifs. Its address places it within Antwerp’s urban café circuit, while the broad drinks selection gives the venue a clear identity without relying on a food menu.
