Simply one of the finest bars in Europe. Ring the bell to get in, stay until dawn. Listen to live jazz around the grand piano in the middle of this art-deco palace (once upon a time, it was a brothel but there's no hint of seediness now).
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.

Couldn't agree more - had a great night here. Try and get one of the tables on the balcony (get there before 11.30) and you can chill, listen to music and get waitress service to the table. The barmen not only mix a great cocktail at very good prices, but my wife tells me that they are smoking hot!
