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!

It's not too crowded and the door policy is very strict. If you are not on the list, you don't enter. I look the music and the atmosphere but one of the big downside is the drink prices. 4 EUR for soda's and beer and up to 12 EUR for rum and coke. But beside that, I'm a fan.

Well that was wild! Had a great night at Fuse for La Demence recently…read more 3 different floors of music. Bottom floor is height ceilings and spacious with a pit and dj booth. Second floor is up a set of stairs, a little smaller but with a couple elevated areas to dance on. 3rd floor is up a narrower set up stairs with a small dance floor and a bar. There is also a little dark labyrinth on the 3rd and 4th floors. Overall a massive space with lots of books and crannies to lose yourself in! There are 2 € lockers to put your stuff in - but get there early to get a locker, and to avoid the line. The entire club was certainly not elegant and overly clean, but it was a perfect for a quintessential rave experience!
