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!

This place used to be a factory where they made pitch. When they threw the first parties in this…read moreplace some people got nausciaus and headaches. Afterwards they found out it was because of the pitch still laying on the floor and people getting unwell of the smell. Nowadays the pitch is long gone but the venue still looks like an industrial factory. Even though it's a cool location, the sound sucks balls! And be prepared for some hipster party! Another shitty review by the shitty guide of Antwerpen.

Magic is more and more starting to be the place to be for party people who wanna be seen but also…read moredon't wanna be seen. Magic is the kinda place where you can just chill out with friends. 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.
