Brussels after dark

Have a good beer

A favourite pastime of Belgians is getting down to their local and having a good beer in the company of the regulars. When the weather permits, they sit outside and watch life go by. Brussels is teeming with cafés, each with its own style and atmosphere.

You can search for a café by neighbourhood or commune on the website of visit.brussels. You can also look for cafés with outdoor serving.

Clubbing

There are a huge number of clubs in Brussels featuring popular DJs playing a wide variety of musical styles. Something for all tastes.

• The website of visit.brussels publishes a list of night clubs.
• Free evening? agenda.brussels publishes a list of all events in Brussels (FR/NL).

Live music

If live music is your thing, a lot of clubs regularly host concerts. You can also check out agenda.brussels.

LGBT Brussels

Brussels is the Belgian capital for LGBT events: many of the city’s venues – from bistros to clubs – attract a large LGBT crowd from neighbouring countries. Most LGBT bars are around the Marché au Charbon and behind the town hall.
In the section 'Gay' of visit.brussels you will find a survey of the LGBT life in Brussels.
