    This place is it! Amazing staff, unique vibe, great beer, and good music and a part of history! Even if you are by yourself in Brussels, if you go here and sit by the bar, you will end your night with some amazing friends.

    Went on a night with live music night with improvisation. It was free to enter and full of music passion. Enjoyed my night a lot and, as I could see, many more people around us. Beers are good as well. Bar tenders were on a level with the performers and locals.

    Old time/ local pub, a bit small on the inside but with a terrace, very central, they serve the local Brussels brands from Brasserie de la Senne

    A place that exists since 26 years. And still serves the real bizonblood. I got two collector t-shirts and for sure left more than one concert ticket there ... I just can vouch for this unique in the world place. The real and unique jazz n jam place. Unique atmosphere. Unique style. And still the real ole bizonblood. I will post the pics of years gone by....

    Brilliant bar, definitely worth a visit! Ticket stubs on the rafters from gigs/concerts over the decades. Staff and happy and helpful. Lots of seating, good range of beers.

    The owner told off one of the barmans in front of the customers yesterday. No matter the reason, it was very awkward and we customers felt really bad for the guy. The place is really cool but this should be avoided.

    The waiters were very nice and helpful. The atmosphere was great, and the drink selection was wide and varied. Music was great as well. Would 100% recommend for a chill night out in Brussels.

    Fantastic atmosphere! Great music!

  • 5/5 Jake T. 11 months ago on Google
    Great belgium pub. The bartenders are great guys! If you visit, make sure to score a spot on the 2nd level of this pub, very cozy "somber " lighting great for a date! Can be very crowded , the pub is located near the center of Brussels where all the other tourist traps are located so lots of loud and drunk (depending on the time of the day) tourists! This bar is the only one that is still authentic. You'll find some locals during the week days but mostly tourists. NO FOODS , ONLY DRINKS

  • 5/5 Piet P. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool blues bar with flemish speaking staff and ceiling decorated with hundreds of old concert tickets. My favorite hangout in the Saint-Gery area!

  • 3/5 Connor O. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a solid place, atmosphere and ambience is excellent. But Jesus christ avoid the old white haired guy to pour your Guinness. He poured the worst first half of a Guinness I've ever seen, and when asked 'are you serving me that?' He goes into a fury yelling in front of customers about how 'I'm a bartender' yet he can't even pour a Guinness lol

    The bartender is a friendly giant. The atmosphere is laid back, down to earth jazz. Antique motorcycle and bison head hanging up, loft to relax and drink.

👍👍 Amazing food, one of the best Eggs Benedict I ever had. This location is really crowded due to being in a city centre, but the service is fast and we got out food in less than 15 minutes. 2 things to be aware of: - their signature sauce is really spicy - fries are coated with rosemary (it can be ove...

👍👍 Easily the best waffles I've had so far. There are 2 options, Liege or Brussels. I suggest you try both. The Brussels waffle has a crunchy crust and a nice soft and airy interior. The Liege waffle has a softer still crunchy crust and a denser interior. Highly suggest eating here!
