Bekkers / Margriet

Bekkers / Margriet is a classic café tucked into Albert I laan, near the heart of Koersel in Beringen. It carries the charm and atmosphere of a traditional Belgian "bruincafé," making it a spot where locals come to unwind with a drink, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a laid-back afternoon. The well-worn wooden interior centers around a wood stove that adds a warm, inviting glow—especially appreciated on colder days.

This café suits those who appreciate an unpretentious environment with authentic vibes rather than a polished, modern café setting. It's a place where you can settle in for an easy conversation, enjoy straightforward service, and experience the kind of music that leans toward the nostalgic or offbeat side, which some guests find adds to the café’s distinct personality. The prices are reasonable, making it accessible for regular visits.

Pop in during the weekend evenings if you want to join locals in a relaxed “danske” (dance) or simply enjoy the easy-going buzz that fills the room. The staff are known for being friendly and approachable, helping maintain the café’s welcoming tone. Whether you’re stopping by after a stroll in town or looking for a spot to linger with a casual drink, Bekkers / Margriet fits well into the neighborhood’s social fabric as a place to relax without pretension.
