http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12723
There are roughly 80 regular beers on the menu as well as monthly specials, some of them unusual (for example, Het Anker's Gouden Carolus Triple on tap - what a night that was!).

Service is efficient and friendly.

Poechenellkelder means "mannekin cellar" in the local Brussels dialect and you'll find that your bill is also in that dialect, which is similar to Dutch.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8685 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8685 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5584 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5584 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3936
It's best to have a meeting place in case you get lost as the crowds are thick and it's easy to misplace friends in the happy chaos. Drink prices are average for Brussels (ie cheaper than most expat bars).]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3936 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3901
The décor is composed of insane clowns, grinning pirates, a nice poster of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins and various other head toys that will both amuse and fascinate the casual observer. Some nice runework in the loos is representative of the anarchistic spirit of this counter-cultural icon.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3901 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3900
A genuine crowd spirit with the chance to get trollied on a Monday night whenever it's been hard getting back to work.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3900 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3844
This a place where locals eat and drink, reflected in the menu and the prices. There are the usual steaks and moules frites, but you can try other typical Brusselois fare such as Anguilles au Vert (eels in green sauce and nicer than it sounds), Stoemp and even horse!

This is a very friendly, real place and well worth a try even if only for a drink before eating at the excellent St Catherine restaurants. Only a brief stroll from Bourse.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3844 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3831
The English language menu on their website is worth a look for shameless, cheap-laugh lovers (like your correspondent). How about Salade Landaise “with gizzards and poultry lievers parfumed with orange room”. Or the somewhat Julian Clary-sounding “Warm Entries”.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3831 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3800 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3800 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3788 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3788 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3785
Amazing cocktails, friendly staff and clientele, the bar is open until dawn every day. A slice of glamour in the city centre and away from the scrum of tourists and locals in the nearby bars of Saint-Gery.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3785 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1202 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1202 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1076 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1076 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1075 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1075 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/314 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/314
