BLACK SMOKE X THE BRICK
It might not look like it but summer is coming.That means the Black Smoke rooftop is opening once again!
Get high above the city on the rooftop terrace just above the Black Smoke restaurant. Enjoy Antwerp’s skyline while Hell’s Kitchen burns below.
You’ll want to feel the urban vibe at City Brewery’s peak, DJs spin tunes as the sun sets for your pleasure.
Open May to October, 23 meters up in the sky with 360-degree views. Sip on exotic cocktails or craft beers. No reservations needed – first come, first served.
To celebrate, they are offering all The Brick members a complementary cocktail, no strings attached. (aside from following their socials and subscribing to their fantastic newsletter).
The cocktail is designed by Jonathan Scheerlinck, who you might remember from the DARE party. But without further ado let us present:
RED & STORMY
Jonathan’s fruity answer to the Dark & Stormy created with the 8 year old Bacardi Ocho rum, Cherry Heering liquor, fresh lime juice, Creole bitters and topped off with Fever Tree Ginger beer. Garnished with an Amarena cherry.
Absolute bliss on a rooftop!
The Black Smoke Rooftop is located on the site of the Antwerp City Brewery De Koninck, Boomgaardstraat 1 – 2018 Antwerp. Click the button below to reserve a table.

We all know him. We all love him. Now we can also adore him online.
Intrigued?
Let’s start with an introduction for the newer members. Most of you will know him as the Facility & HR Manager at The Brick but do you know he has a recent background in bodybuilding?
Yeah, so meet Jens, a distinguished professional with a serious passion for personal training. With a background in physical therapy, Jens transitioned into the realm of personal training in late 2015, ever since developing his skillset and firmly establishing himself in his field.
A coworker funneled his passion for bodybuilding more recently. After a rigid training program in 2023, on only his second try he already clinched victory in a prestigious men’s physique bodybuilding competition, showcasing his dedication and commitment to fitness excellence.
Aside from his various duties at The Brick & his own training schedule, he still found time to create a new online program for everyone to join.
Let’s hear from the expert himself:
”Transform your fitness journey with my comprehensive online personal training program. Start with a free 30-minute intake call where we discuss program basics and your goals. Enjoy weekly videos covering nutrition, training, mindset, and progress, along with motivational feedback and personalized adjustments to your nutrition and training plan. Plus, benefit from a monthly personal call to fine-tune your program and set new goals.”
Included in the program:
- free 30 min intake call where he shares basic knowledge about the program
- weekly video with knowledge about nutrition, training, mindset, progress
- weekly motivational feedback and changes to nutrition & training plan if needed
- 1 personal call a month to talk about the program and goal setting.

Starting this May, every other week Yente will host a new trail for you to run. Saturdays at 10:00, meeting point at The Brick on the Waalsekaai 57.
Where you are running or how long remains a mystery but I heard a couple of names through the grapevine such as Sint-Anna Bos, Hobokense Polders, Nachtegalenpark and many more.
Distances will vary as well but we start at a very beginner friendly level so don’t be afraid to join the first class on the 4th of May!

HOUSE RULES
While we understand that everyone can have a bad day, we can not tolerate that certain ill-mannered behaviors negatively impact others’ experiences.
We would like to remind everyone to be respectful of their surroundings and courtly towards their fellow gym buddies & staff. A polite communication and cleaning up after oneself are the bare minimum.
Get that good karma in while you can.
BOOKINGS AND CANCELS
We would like to thank everyone for showing up to their reservations.
But there is always room for improvement.
So a friendly reminder for everyone:
Reservations are only possible from 06:30 ‘till 22:00. And from 08:00 ‘till 20:00 on the weekend. It’s a very flexible system but cancelations have to be done 4 hours before the starting hour of the class.
A lot of you asked us to add this feature to the system through the survey so let’s try it out:
You can now cancel until 1 hour before the start of the class but penalty points will still apply if not done 4 hours before the starting hour.
Cancel your classes on time through the app and don’t forget to check in on all locations with your QR-code, badge or card. Once you have used your QR-code go back to your dashboard to refresh it before using it again.
Phone, e-mail or social media are not valid ways to cancel your classes.
Your co-members thank you.
