On Karel Rogierstraat in Antwerp you will find Revista, a bar I regard as a true local hotspot. Its tagline, 'from espresso to martini', tells me I may expect a drink from the first coffee of the morning right through to the cocktails of the evening. For guests staying in our holiday lets who like to begin and end the day in one and the same place, I find that a most agreeable promise.
A word on booking: Revista does not take reservations for smaller parties. Only groups of more than six people may reserve. If your party is that large, you can reach the bar by phone or by email. Should you write, I kindly ask you to include your phone number in the message. For everyone else, I suggest planning your visit with a little flexibility, so that you can simply turn up and enjoy the atmosphere.
Several times a year the bar organises Café Society, a lively street party with an afterparty, which brings people from the area together. I find it a charming way for a neighbourhood to gather. Revista shares news about Café Society on Instagram, and I recommend a look there before your visit to see what is planned.
