Note: I'm one of the ancient relics of the swing dancing era of the late 1990s/early 2000s...so…read morethis review is biased. Tuesday nights at Madame Moustache is Lindy Hop night, perhaps the truest form of swing dancing(youtube it). I don't speak French, but dance and jazz music is universal...and plus all the ladies I approached for a dance spoke English well enough, and fortunately none rejected my offer. The DJ played all the best jazz songs from the 20s-60s. The hardwood dance floor is smooth and spacious, so its never too crowded. The friendly bartender served cheap draft beers and moderately priced cocktails. The ambiance is charmingly vintage but casual at the same time. No cover charge... I love it! Wednesday night is college hip hop night...this is a bit weird for a 40 year old, but being American I went along with it. Plus there was no cover charge. If I was 15+ years younger, this would've been awesome. Hopefully Tuesdays will still be Lindy Hop night the next time I'm in Brussels...Au revoir Madame Mustache!

I got to Brussels around midnight on a Wednesday, dropped my stuff off at the hostel, and…read moreimmediately went out to start drinking Belgian beer. Madame Moustache was the only place poppin on a quiet night with a crowd of people outside the door so I decided to check it out. My goodness... what I walked into were great vibes, dance JAMS, a friendly crowd, and everyone just really enjoying themselves. Marj C. was right when she wrote this bar was a mix of "vaudeville meets rogue pirate hangout." It was awesome in every sense of that description. On top of that, the number of different types of beers and shots available was astounding and cheap! Beer on tap was 2€. "Fancy" Trappistes Rochefort beers were 4€, and they mixed countless shots-- including SPECULOOS SHOTS! SO GOOD! **BONUS: The next day I found out that Inspectah Deck, (yes... from the Wu-Tang Clan), did a show there minutes before I walked in. So random. SO FUN!

I've only ever been here once, with a couple of friends, to celebrate a job promotion. Since it was…read moresummer, they had closed the inside rooms and only left the patio open (except for the access to the restrooms). But the ambiance was really nice and chill. I had expected this to be a full-out club, with lots of dancing involved, but most people were eating and drinking, and listening to the live music (a really good cover mini-band). They have a pretty good selection of alcohols, especially liquors, including their own special mixes, which are really quite good (but unless you can really hold your alcohol, stay away from the blue drink for it can render many KO, especially if you've already "sampled" from a number of their other "poisons."). I haven't tried any of their food yet, but from what I could tell from the tables around us, it certainly looked appetizing. The place didn't start to really get packed till 11 pm/midnight, but nothing too rowdy (at least there were no fights that broke out, which is usually a pretty good sign). The decor is steampunk style, which I personally love, but not overly done (of course, since I didn't get to explore the inside rooms, I don't know if they laid it on thick there or not). The two things I didn't like were (1) the wooden floor that makes up the patio--the boards are not set one next to the other so that those who wear thin high-heels will most definitely get them stuck in there (I can tell it's a guy who designed this, like so many other things in Brussels), and (2) being outside, you're of course subjected to another population, this one much smaller than you are, but that still manages to annoy you: bug. Mosquitoes, check. Flies, check. Ants, check, check, check! (Especially if one of your friends has happened to spill his of the semi-sweet drink all over the place.) There is also a taxi service you can get there (to compensate for the fact that the club is somewhat out in the middle of nowhere), which is great if you've happened to have had a little bit too much to drink. The staff was pleasant, though perhaps a little overwhelmed when the crowds came in. But my friends and I definitely had a great time and will for sure come back here for another great occasion!
