WHISKIES GALORE!!!

Highlander.jpg (16114 bytes)Welcome to the Café Highlander, Antwerp’s only Scottish pub, which lies in the heart of the city near to Antwerp's main University UFSIA. The building dates back to the 17th Century and was originally 3 separate houses. Before it was a pub, or Café as they are known in Belgium, one of the houses was a bakery and in the cellar you can still see the old bakers's oven and mixer that dates back to the early 1900's.

The landlord, George Thompson who hails from Whitburn, Scotland and the Landlady Elaine Mosely from Huddersfield, England have been running this cozy little Pub for over 21 years. When the Pub opened its doors in 1988 the Antwerp and District Pipe Band, led by George's good friend Pipe Major Andrew Tierney, played causing large crowds to gather…….the Highlander was officially open.

Over the years the Highlander has had significant coverage on national T.V., Radio and in the press.The Pub is also mentioned in several guide books including Tim Web’s Good Pub Guide to the Benelux.
