Bar Bernard
IN-DEPTH LOOK
Rooftop bar & terrace of Brewery St. Bernardus
In the middle of the Flanders fields, a beautiful building
rises: the visitor’s center of St. Bernardus Brewery. On the
top floor, you can find Bar Bernard, a spectacular rooftop
bar. Designed in sophisticated style, the interior and exterior
seating arrangements are more than just seating options
- they create intimacy, make clever use of space, and are
conversation starters in their own right.
Belgium is known for its (special) beers. Did you know the
first monks started to brew in the 12th century? This age-
old tradition of Trappist beers is still alive today in family
breweries all over Belgium. One of them is St. Bernardus in
Watou. In the middle of the Flemish landscape they have a
visitor’s center, with a restaurant and bar on the top floor.
The St. Bernardus beers are the starting point for most of
the dishes at Bar Bernard. They offer food pairing, where the
flavors of the dishes are highlighted by the combination with
one of their beers. Tasting beers brings people together.
That’s why they also opted for food sharing, where you can
order large portions to share with your friends & family. No
wonder that Bar Bernard chose the ‘tools for togetherness’
from Extremis to furbish their interior and terrace.
