Brussels

There's a café on virtually every street corner, most serving all kinds of alcoholic drinks. Although the Belgian brewing industry is declining as the giant Inbev firm (the brewers of Stella Artois) muscles smaller companies out of the market, Belgians still consume copious quantities of beer, some of it with a 10% alcohol content or more. Most bars have artisanal beers along with the usual suspects. The place St-Géry, rue St-Boniface, and the Grand'Place area draw the most buzz.

The club scene is lively, and world-famous DJs as well as homegrown mavericks spin regularly. Many places stay open until dawn. The online magazine Noctis www.noctis.com is a good resource for upcoming parties and other late-night events.

  • 1. L'Archiduc

    Lower Town

    The Art Deco design of L'Archiduc attracts a thirtyish, fashionable crowd, which is hardly surprising given the upmarket shopping area in which it resides. Add to the mix live jazz on weekends and fine cocktails, and it makes for one of the more polished entries in the city's bar scene.

  • 2. Madame Moustache

    Lower Town

    Rather out of place in the otherwise refined Ste-Catherine area, this buzzing, vaudeville-theme after-hours bar/club is trashy, fun, and does good cocktails and theme nights. It's not a secret, though, so be prepared to queue after midnight—and bring change for the bathroom. 

    Quai au Bois a Bruler 5–7, Brussels, Brussels Capital, 1000, Belgium
    0489-739--912
  • 3. Sounds

    Sounds has been dishing up contemporary jazz along with decent Italian food since 1986, and it shows no signs of losing its rhythm.  

    Rue de la Tulipe 28, Ixelles, Brussels Capital, 1050, Belgium
    02-3115--2975
  • 4. The Music Village

    Lower Town

    The cozy, dimly lit Music Village hosts a plethora of international jazz musicians, with nightly concerts usually starting around 8:30 pm. You don't need a ticket, but it's usually best to make a reservation (pay on-site).
