The Black Sheep is a top-notch establishment with tons of seating and really friendly service. It's also one of the few places in Brussels that provides free water on tap (bless them). I came here with my partner and his parents for dinner and we enjoyed different burgers and their spicy fish and chips- the blue cheese burger was delicious and the spice on the fish and chips were amazing. (Side note: their bbq sauce was made in house and also very good!) We didn't really get to try their beer selection and I've heard great things about their nachos, so we'll have to return! There weren't a ton of folks when we'd gone since we arrived fairly early, but it started to fill up as the evening went on. Additionally, my partner had left behind a backpack and they kept it safe for when they opened the next available day- really honest people and service! They do accept card for payment as well. read more

A little difficult to find. Google Maps sent me to the wrong side of the block and I ended up walking past it twice before noticing the inside decor matching the photos on Yelp. The sign is a tiny one over the kitchen entrance so you'll miss it if you're not careful. Arrived on a Saturday around 830pm. Bar was really nice and friendly. Had their pulled pork sandwich with the Dewar's injection. Kitchen is small and can be sow. Don't rush it. Enjoy a few drinks and relax. The house lager on draft was really good. Service was top notch and very friendly. Had such a great time I came back middle of the week and had one of their burgers that was a spicy one. The spice level was fairly hot due to the jalapenos, but it wasn't burn your face off like ghost chilis. I give it a 5 or 6 on the hotness scale. It was flavorful but not anything I would recommend to people who love spicy food. The average person would probably enjoy it. Bar seating with friendly bartenders are what makes this place so skip the table and sit at the bar. read more

Live jazz, great ambience, friendly people and staff and superbly crafted bar food: we had the crunchy peanut chicken with BBQ sauce which was super tasty and huge! Very friendly staff who took us through the various gins and beers...- we were asked no less than 4 times if our food was ok - and lastly I had better mention the long list of gins and of course beer menu! Simply amazing and that was on a Sunday night. read more

Pretty neat place to have a drink, just off of Flagey. Simple but nice interior with a lot of open space. Although they don't have tons of different beers/drinks, they do have new selections regularly and the selections they do have are quite good, in my opinion. Although I didn't order any food while there, I sure was tempted to! The place serves for snack/bar type food (fried foods) but man does it look good ;) Drinks are priced average. I'll return again when in the area. read more

I've been 4 times there and the food and ambiance are both great. Tasted several dishes and they are really good - the burgers and fish & chips being my favorite ones. Chips handmade/faites maison (yummyyyy). Prices very honest for the quality you get. Waiters super kind, smart and full of good advices. No to be forgotten the great concerts and the large variety and high quality of beers (cheaper than in the surrounding places). You can meet people of all nationalities and the ambience is relaxing, friendly and easy going. Excellent price- quality ratio. read more

It was very hit or miss on the restaurant scene while in Brussels. I never had anything bad, but mind blowingly delicious was a bit hard to find. Based on previous reviews, I decided to give this place a chance. I was not disappointed. Being a spicy fiend, I tried the super spicy burger. I can't remember the name, as someone from Texas had also enjoyed it. The homemade hot sauce in a syringe was the kicker. Super the beer menu is extensive had has a little bit for everyone. I would definitely recommend a stop there. I really had an amazing time in a friendly ambiance and great food. read more

The spicy burger is one of the better ones I've had. Coming from Texas I didn't think it would do anything for me but it was pretty spectacular. I had a few burgers while in town this was the best. I'd say it was a solid 9. Could've been spicier but I'm Indian so it takes a lot to make me sweat. The fries were good. The dipping sauce selection was better than most places I've been and the fries were fire. The beer selection is pretty top notch and they've got pretty badass live music. They're open late if you're in the area this would be my top spot. read more

This seems to be the hidden gem of the Irish/UK-style pubs in the Flagey area. Less crowded than De Valera's, but much better. Excellent beer menu, with plenty of Belgian and international choice. Also, an extensive gin & tonic menu. The food menu is not very extensive, but it has the classics and they get prepared well. read more

The Black Sheep is by far the best bar I've been to in Brussels. Amazing service, and even better bartenders. I come here as often as I can, because the atmosphere is so welcoming and laid back. You can casually drink, or take plenty of shots! Highly recommend to anyone in the Ixelles area read more

The Black Sheep was amazing. Special shout out for Chris who was very friendly and gave us a lot of help. My wife and I had several drinks and the fish and chips, which were amazing. Highly recommend. read more

As traveler I haven't felt more welcomed in a place. The staff was fast, friendly, and knowledgeable on the areas. The food and drinks were amazing. The cocktails were great and the atmosphere was fun. read more

Nice surroundings, casual bar style but with a nice big open space. Immediate excellent service - smiling, friendly, professional. Drinks arrived very quickly - a moijito & a chimay beer and the food , 2 cod & chips, followed very soon after. Great food - nice fresh fish in a lovely light batter with good rustic chips. Couldn't resist the recommended dessert of baileys strawberry cheesecake, sounds odd but tasted great (could have been chilled more as it was a bit runny though). Overall a very nice evening & will definitely be retuning here for casual eating that's good value for money. read more

Casual bar, great for a drink but the food also looks quite decent (though haven't tried it myself). For having a beer or listening to live music, it's one of the nicer pubs around. It's much more pleasant and relaxed than the alternative pubs in the area (De Valere's, Michael Collins) and not overly crowded on a normal day. read more
