Rank 1. BelRoy's Bijou
Cocktail Bar
Cocktail glasses chilled to -25°C before anything goes in them tells you where this Antwerp bar's head is at. BelRoy's Bijou distills its own spirits and bottles its own cocktails, so the house pour here is the house, full stop. Tapas come out to keep things going, but drinking is the point. It's a stylish room that takes the glass seriously without taking itself too seriously, which in a cocktail bar is harder than it sounds.

Rank 1. Dogma Cocktails
Cocktail Bar
Dogma calls its menu "dandy drinks," which turns out to be accurate rather than just cute. It's a cocktail bar on a quiet Antwerp side street that treats the classics as starting points, nudging a Negroni sideways with Amer Picon and building from there. Fresh oysters and a cheese-and-charcuterie board give you a reason to stay past the second round. The 50 gave it a Discovery nod, and the crowd seems quietly pleased with itself for having found it.
