2be Beer Wall

2be occupies 53 Wollestraat between the central square and the canal. Its route begins as a shop selling Belgian products and continues through a courtyard displaying 2,416 Belgian beers and their glasses, according to the business. The bar has a terrace overlooking the water. The mix of shopfront, collection and drink explains its appeal to visitors seeking a particular stop during an old-town walk rather than dinner. The Huis Perez de Malvenda building adds another heritage layer to that route.

The website explicitly separates shop and bar, which changes the plan. The shop opens from 10:30 and the bar from 11:15; the latter closes at 19:30 on most days and 20:00 on Friday and Saturday under the published schedule. The venue number is +32 50 61 12 22. There are beers to drink on site and bottles to buy, but the website does not present a full-meal menu comparable with Cambrinus. Arriving late in the afternoon means checking that the bar, rather than only the shop, remains open.

Reviews celebrate the beer wall, the range and the canal view from the terrace. Other visitors describe crowds and an experience more tourist-oriented than restful, particularly when everyone wants the same photo spot. That does not erase the attraction; it defines its use as a short, visual tasting. For warm Flemish food and a table to linger at, Cambrinus is a better fit. At 2be, beer and place are the destination.
