I've only been here once, on a Wednesday night, for the Music Quizz, and had an absolute blast!…read more The place is hard to find, as it's inside the gymnasium of the College St. Michel (you can park in the courtyard inside the school)--you should check out the video on their website which shows you the way to the place. The music quizz usually starts around 8 pm. but this time around it started a little later. The bar/theatre is cozy, with a small menu (don't worry, there are more drinks available than food items) though I found it to be quite expensive, but really, you go there for the experience. The music quizz was an absolute blast. Every table's given its own buzzer (two even if it's a big table) linked to a board on the stage where your table number will light up if you or one of your teammates is fast enough to press the buzzer first. The quiz has several rounds, with the first one being a "general knowledge" one, where the first few notes will be played, and if you know it, you have to buzz and then say which song and singer(s) it is. But you better be quick! Because quite a few there (my inkling is they were regular patrons) could tell a song after just two notes! The evening lasted a long time--close to midnight, in fact! Which, from what I heard, is pretty rare because people usually get kicked out around 10:30pm. Perhaps I was lucky because the crowd that night was quite vivacious and our hostess was evidently having a blast as well. In any case, I definitely recommend this place on Wednesday nights (I haven't been to any of their other shows) to anyone who's an aficionado of pop songs (from all ages) in French or English and wants to spend a night out with friends. I do recommend you bring a bigger group though, because the more you have on your team, the likelier it will be you'll at least win a few points!

Started by Johan and Guido Claus, brothers of famous Hugo. You like Edith or miss Fitzgerald? Or rather a burlesque show with live music and swinging people, within a decor of a temporary art exhibition and dark pictures of Al Capone and Mata Hari? Check the event schedule on facebook, join barladies Marie and Lara at the authentic long copper bar, and ask for a 'real' scoth or one of the dozens of fine Belgian beers! And call me if you drop by, i'll probably join (for the 1000th time) ;)
