Bar Popular, on the hip Vismarkt, is a ‘brown café’ with a southern flavour. This is reflected in the cocktails and wide range of tapas they serve and in the monthly DJ evening. Bar Popular also has an inner courtyard and a very pleasant lounge on the first floor.

Barramundo Lounge

Barramundo is a household name in Mechelen. It could rightly claim to be the hippest lounge, cocktail and champagne bar in Mechelen and beyond. You can also choose from 25 whiskies and five sorts of cognac. On weekdays the atmosphere is ‘loungy’, but things hot up at weekends when you can expect house and dance…

The convivial ‘brown café’ known as De Gouden Vis has to be Mechelen’s most famous café. The art-deco interior, the conservatory overlooking the water and the cafe library are all part of its unique charm. It has been run by the same owner for 25 years!

De Pekton is actually the name of the sixteenth-century building on the Lamot site housing the Brouwerij Palm’s ‘beer café’. The original materials and interior features were used in the reconstruction so the building has lost none of its historic character. The cafe is open seven days a week and also serves regional snacks.

The large ‘brown café’ De Wei ('formerly Den Akker') has been part of Mechelen’s streetscape for more than thirty years. As it is open late in the evenings, those working in the catering industry often congregate here after work. The large terrace on the Dyle is a wonderful place to unwind during the summer months.

O'Fiach's Irish Pub

In the O'Fiach's Irish Pub you’ll find everything you would expect of an Irish pub: you can of course enjoy a typical Irish Guinness or whiskey, but there are also live performances of Irish music which will have you tapping your foot. Quote from the owner: “Pulling pints of Guinness doesn’t mean you have an…
