Bar Des Amis

Bar

😠 Nice atmosphere but be careful if you visit this bar. The bartender charges extra for larger orders and deliberately throws the bill away so you can't verify it… after unnecessary discussion, bartender finally ‘finds’ the bill and it was indeed overcharged…not professional at all. People often mention atmosphere, good, nice, beer, great, service, music, beers, Good, Great,

    It would be a great bar if they could manage to serve you in less than 20 minutes. Only wanted 2 beers, not even busy. Go somewhere else.

    Very very rude bouncer. I didn’t greet the bouncer, because he was talking to some people. He aggressively let me know I should greet him. Since I am a girl he let me in, but for my boyfriend it was a different story. He didn’t greet the guy same reason as mine and could simply not enter the place. He discriminates badly.

    This bar is near the most known places in Brussels but people come here for the incredible decoration, good service and a great variety of beers and other beverages. The ideal place for having a conversation with friends and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere around.

    Amazing bar with a fantastic atmosphere! It's the perfect spot to unwind with a delicious beer, especially the must-try St. Bernardus Triple. Although the service can be a bit slow due to the crowd, it's well worth the wait. Weekends are lively with great music and a fun crowd. Definitely a top choice for a relaxing night out with friends. Cheers to a memorable experience!

    We came here for late night drinks. Good vibe. Really slow service compared to the number of people there. Cool spot overall and open late.

    Contrary to the name, the bar staff is hostile and aggressive. When approaching the establishment with my friends I said “bon soir” to the bouncer, who was playing on his phone, so of course he didn’t hear me. He stopped me at the door because he thought I didn’t greet him. I assured him that I did, but he didn’t believe me and told me to walk around the block and come back in 5 minutes. Instead we went to a bar in Place St Géry where people are much friendlier.

    (Translated by Google) A great bar for all kinds of beers and away from the tourist center. Very nice people and little to eat. (Original) Un bar genial para todo tipo de cervezas y alejado del centro turístico. La gente muy agradable y poca cosa que comer.

    After try to order 3 times with the same guy during more than 20 min in a bar not full, he laughted about the situation and was stopped with his colleague talking and laughing and asking us for calm. Pray to God for a beer it's faster than the service here (whoever was your God).

    Just wanted to have a beer before meeting some friends in the city centre. I told the bodyguard I was alone and he answered "you cannot enter". Asked why, he replied "you are alone, you are not allowed in my bar". This is disgusting, at least I am happy I did not spent a euro in there

    I first want to say that the prices are higher from most of the places. It is very hard to talk with bartenders. However, the atmosphere is pretty good and we really enjoyed the DJ on Friday night.

  • 1/5 Yozdzhan A. 2 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Man, the incompetence of the bartenders here is disgraceful. Been to a lot of bars in Brussels, I work in one myself for the last 10 years and never seen more incompetent and useless staff.

  • 5/5 Lauren V. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    Great craft beers, wine, cocktails, decor and atmosphere! Really friendly staff even though we speak very basic French and mostly English, they have been so friendly and accommodating.

  • 5/5 Luc R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best bar in Brussels, very well priced with friendly staff and has a good buzz about the place. It also had good music that is the perfect volume so you can still have a conversation across the table.

  • 5/5 Pauline b. 1 year ago on Google

  • 1/5 stephane V. 2 years ago on Google
    Today after long time visiting I was racially treated. The barman with beard is so much anti . Sad to see iconic bars go down.

  • 4/5 June A. 1 year ago on Google
    I liked this place, love the decor and chill dancing atmosphere at night.

  • 4/5 István S. 1 year ago on Google
    Crowded and noisy on a weekday's night - but that's why we go there. Prices are somewhat higher than average and the waiting time in the line is a bit longer than optimal. At least the staff is friendly and professional.

  • 5/5 Tahel B. 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed this bar very much! Nice atmosphere and many types of beer. Also quite a lot of dancing.

  • 5/5 Chenai M. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy bar near St. Catherine. Seems to be always packed, even in the middle of the week. Generally speaking their service is good, well-priced beers (and non-alcoholic options too) and good vibes. What more could you ask for? They also have this good house dj that plays on Fridays/Saturdays.

    Beautiful bar, beautiful decor, spacious, lots of variety of beer but not professional bartenders. I’m sorry to say but in Brussels you have to always check your bill & change.

  • 4/5 Sim 10 months ago on Google
    Le Bar des amis has definitely chosen the right name. It's a really fun place to gather with friends during or after a long week of work to unwind, either by drinking some of the delicious beer options by the terrasse or by enjoying the music inside. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice time with friends!

  • 5/5 George R. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a couple of beers in the area outside. There was a great vibe and the beer was great! The music was pretty loud inside, so it's a completely different experience to outside.

  • 5/5 Laurent L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is visually very nice and the atmosphere is great! The staff are friendly and very dynamic, the music varies according to their desires when they pass the sound system. The beer menu is quite good. Only downside that I had, the cocktail I drank was really rubbish but hey, it may not be the case every time! (Original) Le lieu est très sympa visuellement et l'ambiance y est au top ! Le personnel est sympa et très dynamique, la musique varie selon leurs envies quand ils passent devant la sono. La carte des bières est assez bien fournie. Seul bémol que j'ai eu, le cocktail que j'ai bu était réellement naze mais bon, ce n'est peut-être pas le cas à chaque fois !

  • 1/5 Christophe d. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Order of almost 100 € at 00:45 ... Accepted without worries ... To be kicked out at 01:05 like filthy by a waiter in Dutch completely unpleasant and not at all out of place. When you accept such an order, notify before you close 15 'later. NEVER AGAIN !!!!! And that this waiter is looking for a job that he likes 👎👎👎👎👎👎 (Original) Commande de presque 100€ a 00h45... Acceptée sans soucis... Pour se faire mettre dehors a 1h05 comme des malpropres par un serveur en néerlandais complètement désagréable et pas du tout a sa place. Quand vous acceptez une commande pareille, prévenez avant que vous fermez 15' plus tard. PLUS JAMAIS !!!!! Et que ce serveur se cherche un boulot qu'il aime 👎👎👎👎👎👎
