Bar Burbure

Located at Vlaamse Kaai 41 on the trendy Zuid-district of Antwerp, Bar Burbure is a sophisticated destination where the worlds of craft cocktails, fine wine and hospitality converge. Founded by sommelier Jurgen Lijcops—with more than 35 years’ experience in Belgian gastronomy and fine dining—Bar Burbure brings an elevated bar experience to Antwerp’s drinking scene. From the moment you enter, the space exudes a cosmopolitan yet warm charm: polished wood, leather seating, a refined bar-back filled with spirits, wines and elegant glassware. According to bar-reviewers, the concept blends “Milan, Manhattan and London” into an Antwerp setting. The drink menu reflects that ambition. At Bar Burbure you’ll find both carefully crafted cocktails—made with premium spirits, high-quality ingredients and attention to detail—and an impressive wine list described by one guide as among the best in Antwerp. Many cocktails are served in special glassware and clear-ice presentation emphasises the craftsmanship. Besides drinks, the bar also offers elevated bar-food and cigars, catering to guests looking for more than just a quick drink. Because of its setting on Vlaamse Kaai (alongside the Scheldt river) and its terrace, Bar Burbure is suitable for relaxed early-evening drinks or later night sessions. The south-bank “Zuid” area is known for art, galleries and a slightly more upscale bar-scene, which aligns with the venue’s mood.
