The bouncers are very problematic. You can already tell by all the other reviews. Friend of mine got kicked out for using the ladies bathroom. When trying to explain they're non-binary and didn't think much of which restroom they were using, the bouncers just laughed at them and kicked them violently out of the bar. Such hateful and disproportionate reaction....id say avoid this bar anyway its not worth it

19/02/21 People suffocating in the club, I write you on Facebook but I think it is important you know so I take the liberty to contact you by message as well. I experienced it trying to get out, a girl outside was also crying and hyper-ventilating. Saying it to the two bouncers outside, they laught about. To be honest I was disgusted about this behaviours. Laughing about this situation is inacceptable.. it’s up to you to do whatever you want with my message, I’m a normal people who like a lot the Bonnefoi but today/tonight I was disgusted about the bouncers behaviours, really.

Great place for electronic music until the morning during the weekend. Free entrance. The staff is kind. Be aware of pickpockets.

The place was overcrowded but it was impossible to see it from outside and knowing that the stuff was still letting people in. We entered and got stuck 5 metres further. We were not able to get in or get out for a very long time. Claustrophobic. There was no oxygen inside and people started to get scared about the situation. Very very very irresponsible behaviour of the stuff and the manager. Nobody reacted to the situation, nobody directed the crowd to the correct direction. A girl next to me started to have a panic attack. I have a serious concern about the safety of the place.

Very rude bouncers. They act like they are kings and are very disrespectful against people. Got denied a few times because there where not enough women in our group. Used to be good but would not go back anymore. Talk about reversed sexism

Very nice and cosy place! Great spot to visit if you love jazz music and good vibes.

It’s a really nice atmosphere pub!!!!

The worst bouncer who is either on drugs or needs to go back to school to learn some manners. Also, not the most safe space for women.

THIS PLACE IS NOT LGBTQIA+ SAFE. My non-binary friends were kicked out for using the toilets “that were not assigned to their gender”. The security guards laughed in their face when they explained that they didn’t correspond to any particular gender. The security guards used disproportionate force and forced my friends out grabbing them by the neck. This kind of aggression is unacceptable in the age that we are living in. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS PLACE. DO NOT COME.

The best thing about Bonnefooi is its looks and music. The staff may have friends hanging out who feel like they can act however they want during parties. I've seen it lead to fights where the manager kicked out people for his own friend's rude behavior. It's a shame because it is a very pretty and hip place otherwise, but the staff is so off-putting.

Nice bar open until the morning, music can be awesome from time to time, only bad point (but a HUGE one) is that there are always a lot of thieves inside so you need to be extremely careful with your stuff (phones, cards, wallets...). They are very expert in stealing even when you seem to have everything under control. It's a place to visit at least once in your life because there's a special vibe inside, but again, watch your stuff constantly (unfortunately I had bad luck there 2 times).

Good music until late at night. When everything else is closed, come here. The bar staff is very nice as well. Lots of place to dance and or drink. Just a shame the toilets are so disgusting and blocked. Otherwise a very nice bar!!

Racist and rude security man! I heard a lot about this place, so I went to check the music, I was excited, and when I enterd, I see a guy screaming from the door asking me to go out, and saying in french that I cannot just come in as if it is a house! then he looked at me and with angry and impolite manner with his hands said: now you can go in! ofc I didn't go in, and I left, and he ruined my vibe. It is a great place if you are European or you speak french

Just came from Greece. It’s the best restaurant you could visit. I’ve been to lots but here the staff is like family and their foods are really tasty.

Best bar i went to in belgium, good music and people start dancing around 1 am. Electronic music (i dont usualy like it) but its good af.

It's a cool place, but the sound for the live music is... difficult upstairs and a hard situation of placement downstairs, yet the best amateur musician place in Brussels.

Live jazz band in the back room, good selection of beers, friendly staff nice chilled vibe highly rated

Very nice pub this was. Had a good lager called Crystal on tap. Was quiet when we went in (stag do), think the place is a bar which gets busy late at night. One if the nicer places in brussells we had seen over the weekend.

Christmas eve, myself and my colleague finished work around 4am decided to try have a drink only place open was bonnefoi, we know the place as we would have a drink there a few times, After waiting for at least 10 mins at the bar (not overly busy) you could tell a mile away the bartender was annoyed about working Christmas eve, when he finally served us we asked for 2x vodka and 1x redbull, he then said no ill give you 2x vodka and 2x redbull, when he put the drinks infront of us he said 37.50€ and I'll take 2€ tip for myself!!! So 39.50€!!! FIRST OF ALL I WILL DECIDE IF YOU DESERVE A TIP OR NOT!! any time we are there if any one tips they ring a bell and put into a big sharing jar!! So the 2€ he basically stole from us he just put in his back pocket... so this guy is getting a share of the jar tips with every one else and what ever else he is pocketing through out the night!!! Will not be back

Nice place, but the people managing the place need to relax a bit.

The waiter with black hair and beard is disrespectful and has no manners. He should be not be working here nor anywhere else. Shame on you

Best techno and djs in town ! Nice drinks. Super kind staff and really good ambiance 💣!

Be ready when rules will be like before, they'll give you the best ! 🖤👊

Nice athmosphere, packed on weekends, long queue, any type of people..

Sometimes great music, super nice staff and open until late in a cosy atmosphere and there is a smoking area

Unfortunately, my phone got robbed at this place. I spoke to another friend and he also said that when he went to smoke outside, he left his jacket in a corner of the bar and when coming back he saw someone lifting his jacket and searching it. Of course this can happen anywhere. There should be cameras, guards checking more inside the bar, not just outside at the door. That’s it.

Bei unserem Besuch am Samstagabend hat ein DJ sehr coole Elektromusik gespielten. Die Location ist recht klein, wodurch schnell gute Stimmung aufkommt. Die Drinks waren lecker und es wurde ordentlich gefeiert. Absolute Empfehlung.

Amazing bartender, good quality drinks. The place looks more like bar and like a club. However we managed to danc3 and had great time. In times of covid, the way they manage the payment is.. like in a public institution. This is the reason for 4 out of 5.

Great place for a variety of styles of music, an interesting style and a good atmosphere

Great place for concerts and dj’s.

Better than any clubs in Brussels. Really good music. Mostly Techno. Well curated

Nice place with electronic music and inside smoking place. Good choice if you're new in town and get started before a party 😉

The best music bar in the city center: dirty, crowded and messed up. Always with good djs. Open until 8 am every weekend. Thank God.

Great place that still somehow sees capable to undersell itself. I had a great time. The security guy is a Friendly Giant. And there's a lovely English (suppose midlands but prolly not) that loves some good banter. But don't exaggerate, she doesn't know when to say stop apparently. It's all good. Opportunities come and go. Bonnefooi is forever. Just make life of your staff easier. Cash to pay for vestiaire? While you have card options upstairs? Really no UX friendlier decision? Sunset bar makes same mistake. Apparently it's a human thing to complicate simple things and complain. about how simple complex things can be. I tried. ✌️

Throw out a consumer that did not do anything wrong is an absolute shame. I can understand you have an intern security guard but dont let him just search a random victim, thats just a shame. Very weak and agressive performance by security guards which is a pity for this place

Great ambient and really nice beats with some crazy chic dancefloor. Not very big variety of beers but still definitely a must see!

Amazing bar. We enjoyed our time to the fullest here. Would love to know about this place from day one we visited the city. Peps if you wanna hang out late hours there’s no better bar.

Such an amazing place. The fact that the entrance is free is unbelievable. Definitely recommend!

Cute place but not my kind of music

Nice place. Not a lot of good looking chicks but that's Brussels 😓 bar is ok

Informal, open late, good value and good djs

Great atmosphere and ambiance throughout every night of the week!

Nice when there is a jam or a concert. Not so nice when there isn't. It's also not cheap...

Great spot for live music.

EDIT: Something happened to Bonnefooi between 2017 and 2020. This place used to be an amaaaazing bar to take an SO or to meet new people. Nowadays it looks like a really sad and empty bar. The crowd has completely changed, and the music is not half as good as it was before. First Review, in 2017 — Best place to chill in Brussels.
