This bar has a superb selection of beers, which are reasonably priced, and is frequented by locals rather than being a typical tourist trap.

The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed and it's an ideal place to meet up with friends for a good natter.

If that isn't enough, last time I went there an opera singer started to sing, with the whole bar joining in. Beer, opera and conversation - perfect!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16096 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16093
The area has many attractive shops and boutiques - they really know how to dress and window dress! Tucked off the side streets of the Elsene quarter are lively markets, galleries and tree lined squares for coffee and finding unique gifts.

At the far end of Avenue Louisa are grand villas and gardens, lush parks and gardens of Terkamerenbos.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16093 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16092
Have your last drink at Au Laboureur close to the Gare du Midi.

Later in the evening, avoid the crowds and jump on tram 92 to Place St. Job to enjoy Michelin star cuisine at Le Passage at very reasonable prices.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14904 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14732 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14732 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14731 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14731 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14704 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14704 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14700
Two huge dance floors heave with glistening muscles whilst the two darkened floors upstairs heave with an altogether raunchier activity.

This is definitely not what I had expected from Brussels. The club is only a short walk from the Eurostar terminus or a short taxi ride to the four and five-star hotels which offer excellent value.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14700
