Black Smoke Rooftop Reopens for the Summer Season at Antwerp's De Koninck City Brewery
A popular aerial destination in Antwerp is welcoming visitors back for the warmer months. The rooftop terrace at Black Smoke, situated at the De Koninck City Brewery, officially reopens on May 1. Visitors can once again pair scenic city views with a curated selection of drinks and a relaxed outdoor atmosphere.
Enjoying Panoramic Views and Drinks Over Antwerp
Operating on a weather-permitting basis, the rooftop venue provides an elevated space to wind down after exploring the city or completing the brewery's interactive exhibition. Guests can look forward to panoramic views of Antwerp's skyline while enjoying signature cocktails and craft beers.
For those planning a visit, the rooftop operates under the following seasonal schedule:
- Tuesday to Saturday: 4:00 PM to midnight (with last call at 11:30 PM)
- Sunday: 12:00 PM to 11:00 PM (with last call at 10:30 PM)
The venue represents a collaborative local spirit, historically hosting unique creations like the "No Bullshit" summer beer, which was brewed in partnership with the brewery using aroma hops and grilled pineapple. To read more about the seasonal launch, you can view the official news announcement.

The site features a self-guided interactive tour detailing Antwerp's brewing traditions, complete with audiovisual displays and tasting sessions.
