Very cool little spot for a night cap at the end of a long day. This romantic little spot was full of creative drinks with clever titles. Gotta love a spot that offers a Pickle Rick drink! The bathrooms were bright and clean. Very good for people watching. read more

Chemistry & Botanic's - Lovely little spot, with a floral ceiling. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Currently sitting here enjoying our hand crafted classy drinks. Very impressed with this small gem. We were looking for a small experi3nce before dinner and we found it. The bartender is experienced and listens well to your preferred and usual drinking style to help you decide. He made a smokey mezcal spirit (Mezcal Cillin aka Penicillin) for me and the Pineapple Incident for my husband. Both were well balanced. And unlike the US very reasonable for the experience, taste and well balanced spirits. It's a little away from the noise and hustle by the Grand Palace. We came on a Monday evening and there were only a few other customers. Great quiet spot and prices are very reasonable. read more

I feel a bit conflicted about Chemistry & Botanic's. I want to love this place for their cozy decor and friendly staff. However the drinks are just mediocre and I was unfortunately a bit disappointed. The drinks were just bland and tasted like any other mixed drink you might get. For the lack of a better word it did not taste fresh. Further the volume is so high that you pretty much have to scream across your table, and a mocktail coat as much as a regular drink with alcohol. read more

The wife and I are a huge fan of cocktails. We've made a point to get to all the well known Brussels cocktail bars, and it was time to hit Chemistry and Botanic. I made a reservation for two at the bar, because we love to sit and what the bartender make drinks. All the other cocktail bars we've been to, when you sit at the bar, you can chat a bit with the bartender, ask some questions about the drinks, and just marvel at the skill. None of that happened here. The first thing we noticed was all the drinks were batched. Despite the numerous bottles behind him, he didn't grab a single one the entire time we were there. Everything was premade and measured with the jigger into the glass. There wasn't any conversation. He didn't ask us, until I was going to pay, how the drinks were. Nothing. The worst part? The drinks were not good. The wife ordered the Jasmine Martini, which, with an absinthe spray, tasted only like absinthe at the start, and only like oversteeped tea at the end. My drink, the Jaliscoffee, had no real distinguishable notes. Couldn't taste the tequila, or pull out the Chartreuse. It mostly tasted like a bad vermouth cocktail with almost no note of coffee. We were incredibly disappointed with the whole experience. The bachelorette party commandeering most of the bar however, seemed to be having a good time. All in all, for the price, there's so many other, better cocktail bars. Dont waste your time. The only reason for two stars and not one is that we learned celery salt goes nicely with Comté. read more

Omg loved this place! The second we passed it I said to my girl, we need to come back here later and I am so happy we did! First off, their drink menu was fabulous, lots of interesting concepts, and unique flavor combinations. Secondly, the bartender, Thomas, was outstanding. He made fabulous drinks, he was friendly and informative and really talented (and also very attractive). It wasn't that crowded when we arrived so we had the opportunity to sit at the bar, which was awesome (the bar only seats maybe 6 people). If the drinks weren't so expensive, I would have stayed here all night ($16 or so a drink). I told Thomas the drinks were just as good as the Aviary in NYC. He was seriously talented. Definitely worth a stop if you like cocktails! read more

Stopped in here on NYE for a few drinks and absolutely loved it. Ordered the New York Sour and the Cherrypolitan. Was able to see the bartender make both drinks and do tricks while doing so! Very cute place with phenomenal drinks and great atmosphere. read more

I was the only one here on a Sunday night. The drinks where perfect and the music was better. I will be coming back often. The great tragedy of the pandemic is more can't experience and enjoy this. As soon as you are able, come and stay as long as you can. You will enjoy every memory you remember, and won't regret those you don't. read more

A true cocktail bar/lounge. Proper drinks, served with quality liquor, herbs, fruits, and love. The space is relaxing equally matched by the music. If you appreciate cocktails (not drinks) then you be at home. Nice surprise was having my drink made by the owner! read more

0 stars for poor service and undrinkable beverages. I love exploring new cities by visiting their restaurants, but it is the cocktail bar that makes me feel closer to the town as I often enjoy sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender. That said, I have traveled to many cocktail bars all over the world, and Brussels is where I found my most favorite bar (go visit Life is Beautiful!!!) and also my least favorite bar ever. My husband and I stopped at Chemistry's and Botanics for our last night in Europe, and entered a completely empty bar. After being present for several minutes, the bartender/waiter comes out and seats us. He hands us a menu and leaves for an obnoxious amount of time before seeing to us again. Again, he has no other customer at this time, he just takes little notice of who is in his bar. We order two drinks (he says that it is impossible for him to serve my drink "up" and does not know what this bartending term refers to); the drinks we ordered were fine-nothing to write home about (2-3 stars), so we decide, since it's our final night, let's do one more. We wait about 35 minutes for the waiter to return to us. He was still not busy at this time. He did not ask how we liked our previous drinks. I order the Kings Peach. While it is beautiful, it tasted like a straight shot of apple cider vinegar. Nothing in the ingredients either alone or when mixed together should taste so foul. After another long period of time while the bartender (the only staff working it seems) was smoking outside, he comes in and sees an untouched beverage. We ask for the check and he does not ask how we enjoyed the cocktails. I tell him that the drink is undrinkable and he says "well that is the way the drink is." I state that we should not have to pay for such an awful experience with that particular drink and instead of trying to rectify the situation he offers a shot of my choosing. If I wanted to take shots, I would have gone to a uni bar-not a cocktail bar. The bartender was beyond rude and left a horrible taste in my mouth (literally and figuratively) on my final night in Brussels. If you're looking for inventive cocktails with a great staff, again check out Life is Beautiful or L'archiduc! read more

I'm back! Stopped by for a pre-dinner drink, a delicious mezcal/tequila concoction that hit the spot. Returned for a post-dinner dessert drink. A great idea! I was recommended a vodka-based cocktail that tasted like creme brulee, only lighter and better. I'm a fan! read more

Absolutely fantastic, and a must visit if you're visiting Belgium! A friend and I stopped by on a rainy night, and the drinks were truly delectable. It has an amazing atmosphere (literally, science equipment and gorgeous plants!) - and very welcoming. The drinks were very creative and unique, since we were the only ones in because it was a slow night, we had a great opportunity to get 1:1 with the main bartender and how he developed each of the drinks. The prices were fair, and the menu had a whole section for non-alcoholic and mocktails too! read more

I love the Chemistry... Every time you pass their door, you can be sure to be thrown out of your comfort zone. The cocktail are well balanced and I'm sure your taste bud will thank you afterwards. The bar propose its own recipe but can also offer grand classic like a "simple" Gin&tonic but with a little twist that will bring out hidden flavors you wouldn't have thought of. For the non-alcohol drinker lovely Mocktails are available so you can have a bit of fun too. read more

This place is definitely worth adding on your list when visiting Brussels. The cocktails and experience are great!

To be honest it has been a while since I've such a good cocktail !! My taste buds were ecstatic ! I had the cocktail named King's Peach but also tasted what my friends had ordered and only wanted more ! Bravo to the owners, you've done a great job ! read more

Super friendly service and great snacks (dryed meat and cheese). Cocktails were nice but signatures were not outstanding. However the bar tender accomodated special requests easily. Worth 4.5 stars. read more

What a great cocktail bar. Super creative drinks that are so delicious and very unusual using very high quality ingredients. Tom the bartender not only knows his craft, he is really a great conversationalist on lots of different topics. So sad that I don't live in Brussels. Great music and space. read more
