Any student or local in Antwerp knows Korsakov, one of the city's staples when it comes to nightlife.
Korsakov is something in between a bar and a club, and the number one reason to go there is not the reasonably priced drinks or the tasty snacks (though I do recommend their 'cauliflower wings') but the atmosphere.
No matter which day you're visiting, you can always count on people being around and enjoying life, and there's just something about the cool underground vibe that makes you instantly slow down and unwind.
The building has multiple floors, and you should definitely check out the area upstairs where there's a pool table and every bit of the walls and seats is plastered with graffiti.
