Café Hessenhuis

A bar in Antwerp's city centre on Falconrui, drawing a mixed crowd of regulars and visitors. The space occupies a historic warehouse building, which gives it a character that most purpose-built bars lack, with high ceilings and a sense of scale that makes it feel different from the typical small bar format. It has been part of Antwerp's social scene for long enough to have built a loyal local following, and the crowd tends to reflect that continuity.
