Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Choose timing. Visit after 6pm if you want the top-floor terrace; it may not be open earlier.

2

Check seating. Ask for a non-smoking table before settling in, since the non-smoking area has been described as tiny.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Weak cooling

Summer cooling has been a serious problem, especially upstairs and during crowded match screenings.

Smoking spread

Several reviews say smoking now reaches areas that were previously non-smoking, while the dedicated non-smoking space is small.

Customer-reported prices

The Bottom Line

Belgian Beer Café is a Belgian restaurant-bar in Barsha Heights with three floors, a broad beer selection and a pub-like setting. You can come for Belgian beers, mussels and fries, pork ribs or a weekend brunch, then stay for live music or a football match. The beer list has drawn particular interest for its unfiltered, raspberry and cherry-flavoured options.

The venue is more than a dining room. Reviews mention a top-floor terrace, free valet parking, darts, mini golf and board games, while the spacious layout suits groups. The mussel pot was described as large enough for three people, and happy hour has been reported from 4pm to 8pm on most nights.

There are important trade-offs. The top floor may not open until after 6pm, and summer cooling has been poor during crowded events. Smoking appears to extend beyond the small non-smoking area, so ask about seating when you arrive.

Service can also drag: one quiet weekend lunch took nearly 30 minutes just to deliver beers. Food feedback ranges from excellent salmon, steaks and fries to complaints about concentrated soup, chewy calamari and small portions. Check current promotions and menu availability before ordering, especially if value or a particular beer matters.
