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/16088 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16088 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16084

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/3900
