Probably far too popular for it’s size and incredible beer range, but a wonderful pub and a must visit for any serious beer drinker

Een uit in Antwerpen werd en regelrechte ramp op gebied van bier, 5 bieren uit de kaart gehaald en geen enkel in voorraad, toen wij aan de bediening vroegen van geef er ons een naar uw keuze werden we verzocht om de zaak te verlaten .

Incredible place. Small but cozy. Great selection including very hard to get vintages.

When you’re in Antwerp, most certainly worth a visit. Extensive (vintage) beer list. Very friendly, knowledgeable owner and his lovely wife try their best to give you a good time. Great place.

A truly exceptional bar, especially for cellared beers. You could spend hours just perusing the extensive menu list and be licking your lips at the prospect of sampling beers that in some cases have been long forgotten. World class.

The Friday before the Zythos fest is not the best time to visit this place. At 18.00 it was full and I mean full, we did get served, but it took 20 minutes, the next two times it took 30 minutes. I know they have to hunt down some strange and old beers, but only having the two of them with the required knowledge on such a busy period doesn’t work. We found a seat in the end, with some other Brits, when they left another party of Brits took their place. Everyone knows their beers in here, it is not a bar you just stumble into. On the next table to us, 4 Swedish lads (mid 20’s) were spending a fortune on some huge aged bottles, but didn’t care and were having a ball. All our beers were great apart from an aged one, anywhere else and you would take it back, but here, you don’t. I have been back once since the first visit and it was just as full, not really my thing.

A beer institution, Kulminator is one of the world’s finest bars. Operated by an attentive couple (and cats) the bar primes itself on aged vintage beers which in my opinion lets the place down on slightly. Great selection of bottled beers nonetheless and a decent range of draft make this an essential stop when in Belgium.

I recently spent three evenings sitting at the bar, touring the Trappist brews. with occasional diversions like Sint Amatus and Grimbergen Optimo Bruno. We "worked" our way thru Chimay, Orval, Achel, and Westverletren, and then went back in time to some 90’s vintages Rocheforts and LaTrappes. Dirk and Leen are fine hosts. To those who say they do not understand the high ratings of Kulminator, I would say that one has to be in the right frame of mind, not in a hurry, to take time to savor the beers and the ambience. You’ll meet some interesting people there. And you’ll see me next time I’m in Antwerp!

J’ai offert un weekend à Anvers à mon ami. Le bar du soir était tout trouvé : Le Kulminator est une adresse pour les amoureux des bières. Le soir de ma visite le bar était rempli d’Américains ! J’ai pu déguster des bières vieillies aussi bien en bouteille mais aussi en fût ! Pour exemple une Bons Voeux de la brasserie Dupont en pression de 2 ans d’âge ! Excellent. Bon sinon j’ai de grosses lacunes en Anglais et les patrons ne parlent pas Français !! J’ai utilisé le langage universel des signes !!!! Le cadre du bar est vieillot et très beau.
