Brussels Nightlife

Brussels has a surprisingly good and sizeable jazz scene. The Music Village, which hosts the annual International Jazz Singers Competition, is one of the city’s best venues.

A restaurant serving hearty Slavic fare, Au Grand Mayeur is equally well-known for its nightly music, passionately performed by Hungarian Gypsies.

One of the coolest bars along Place St Gery, Zebra draws a diverse, artsy crowd with its relaxed, yet lively, atmosphere.

Centrally located near Grand Place, Le Belgica is a trendy, welcoming, and often animated meeting point for local gay folk of all ages and ilks.

The whole city (especially the under-30s set) heads to Fuse on Saturdays to dance to the hottest beats; popular monthly gay club La Demence also happens here (exact dates vary).
