Advantages: Great Beer, Convival Atmosphere

Disadvantages: For talking, not dancing

This bar is a must-visit for a sense of the old Belgian tradition of drinking beer. It is a wonderful high-ceiling room, admittedly thick with smoke, with smart but friendly waiters bustling between tables. A wide range of excellent Belgian beer is on offer, from old favourites to the more esoteric (such as the lambic beers which are fermented by yeasts found naturally in the air and carry a refreshingly sweet/sour tinge to them).

The furnishings in dark wood are comfortable, and although some of the decoration of the walls is clearly not original the atmosphere here is very authentic. This is a place to come and talk with friends over a beer or three, and so the tone is very much animated conversation and convival. Seating rather than standing is the order of the day here, so it is quite a civilised place to be and the perfect place to start a night out.

Summary: Probably the best place in Brussels to get a taste of Belgian drinking
