The wine bar has become one of Antwerp's strongest formats, concentrated heavily in Het Zuid. Tannin and Album sit close together on Volkstraat and the Vlaamsekaai, with Bar Burbure and Patine Wijnbistro nearby. Beyond Het Zuid, Bar Brut works the Eilandje and Titulus the Oever in Sint-Andries, rounding out a city that increasingly drinks by the glass.
Patine in Antwerp's Zuid is a wine bistro on Leopold de Waelstraat. The list runs natural and orange wines; the kitchen builds small plates around them.
TipClosed Sunday and Monday. The bar seats six; reserve a table on busier nights.
Tannin in Antwerp on Volkstraat is a natural-wine bar with a Mediterranean lean. The cellar runs Italian, Loire and Champagne growers in equal measure.
