De Oude Brouwerij in Stabroek, north of Antwerp, hosts weddings, staff parties, jubilees and birthday parties for up to 250 guests. The venue is a former brewery with three event rooms and a summer garden. A guest list of 120 to 160 sits at round tables in the largest hall, and up to 250 can stand at a reception.
Seminars and company events
The official site lists the staff party as one of its event types, with food stands, a reception or a snack formula. It does not describe seminar or meeting rooms, so the venue suits parties and receptions rather than daytime conferences. The rooms can be combined in one evening: an aperitif in one room, dinner in another and dancing in the brewing hall.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings can include an evening party, reception, ceremony, dinner and food stands. Birthdays, jubilees and baby showers are also offered, with a party, reception, dinner or snack formula. The venue suggests starting with an aperitif in De Hoop, sitting down for dinner in De Nederschelde and dancing in De Bierfabriek.
Rooms and capacities
De Bierfabriek is the former brewing hall, with 250 square meters and two 1,000-liter beer tanks filled by the brewery. It seats 120 to 160 guests at round tables and takes up to 250 standing. It has a bar with two taps, sound-absorbing panels, and on request a 20 square meter stage, mobile reception tables, and light and sound equipment. De Nederschelde measures 125 square meters and seats up to 96 at long tables. It has a bar, an adjoining kitchen with a four-burner gas stove, a fixed sound system with microphone, and separate toilets. De Hoop, the former brewery bar, measures 90 square meters. It holds 25 to 65 guests inside plus 20 on a covered terrace, with four beer taps and a 20 square meter stage. The Brewersgarden is an outdoor space for summer parties under a tent.
Accommodation
The official pages reviewed do not mention accommodation on site.
Catering
The venue's pages do not say whether food is cooked in house or supplied by a caterer. They speak of food stands, dinners and snack formulas, so confirm the catering rules with the team.
History and setting
The three rooms keep the memory of local breweries. De Hoop is named after the brewery of Oorderen, and De Nederschelde after the brewery of Wilmarsdonk. Both polder villages disappeared when the port of Antwerp expanded in the 1960s. De Hoop sits in the former brewery bar.
Getting there
The address is Kerkstraat 18 in Stabroek, in the polder area north of Antwerp. The pages reviewed give no station or parking details, so confirm these with the team.
