No cask. Keg range of Guinness, Moretti, Asahi, Neck Oil, Madri, Amstel, Inch’s, Brooklyn Pilsner, Brixton Reliance Pale Ale, Roadie, Jubel Peach.
Large multi activity games bar, with loads of screens showing sport also. Mini golf is on ground floor. Down the stairs to the vast array of activities. To the left of the foot of the stairs is a large rectangle with bar counter on the right-hand side of the front part. Darts, table tennis, and pool are the games here and there are lots of tall table and tall stool seating. To the right of the foot of the stairs is another large rectangle with the bar counter opposite the back wall opposite the entrance to the space. There are some tall tables and tall stools in front of the bar and to the right-hand end of the bar and a row of semi-circular booth tables down the middle with a long leather banquette along the left-hand wall serving a row of small tables. Darts and pool tables in here also. There is a corridor that joins both bar areas that has some tall tables if you fancy a table away from the bar and games and opposite the open kitchen. Original stone flooring down here and lots of modern metal ducting on the original brick arched ceiling. Undoubtedly this place will do well and is the sibling of the venue in Stratford E20, but this place has a lot more potential. Hope it has better longevity than the German beer venue here until summer 2024!

Strongers . left this review about Belgo Centraal
I visit Belgo Centraal on Saturday evening a couple of weeks ago for a birthday party. I spent almost 15 minutes queuing at the upstairs bar only to be greeted by a curt barman. The downstairs beer hall that we were seated in was not fit for purpose as the staff could not get to everyone. There were also not enough seats so I had to cut up my food before holding my plate to eat. Thankfully it didn’t take me long because the portions were very small. I found the staff to be rude and we refused to pay the £90 service charge. On a positive note the Belgian beers are excellent and £8.20 for a two-pint stein of Leffe is good value for the Covent Garden area.

Had a Leffe Blonde in the basement bar. £3.50. Could be worse. Not one I'll be returning to - more a place for diners, I'd have thought.

JAQPTIO is correct about the pokey bar on the ground floor,it's uninviting and sterile in a faux metal/industrial style .However if you are eating,the double sided basement restaurant is much more fun,there is a fine brickwork arch and a very buzzy atmosphere.The food is basically moules & frites , rotisserie chicken and chips or other grilled meats from the open plan kitchen in the centre of the space.Most diners select from the bottled Belgian selection,although the draught kegs are also available down here.A selection of decent bottles and some scoff made for a very enjoyable evening,and quite reasonable for the area,£25 pp will get you a decent fill.
My advice,avoid the bar,go for something to eat and a different kind of drinking experience.No real ale anywhere.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Belgo Centraal
Small bar at street level beside / above the main restaurant areas. Limited furniture and shiny industrial decor. No real ale of course, so just three keg offerings: Belgo Pils and Wit (£3.07, half) plus Fruli. NB - All halves considerably more than 50% the cost of a pint.
