    This is a really cool and totally bizarre rock bar. Cercueil means coffin. The display in the window shows a vampire sitting in one and coffins are a bit of a theme in the bar in general - most of the tables are mock coffins and their's death-related paraphenalia everywhere. It's very kitschy hammer-horror style, though, no need to be frightened. Unfortunately, it's pretty small and very popular with both tourists and locals. So be ready to share tables with strangers or to visit at an odd hour to try to get your own. Also, being a rock bar, it can get pretty loud but if you're a fan of rock and metal music you'll be happy. The beer selection is pretty good, although it's not one of those Brussels bars that prides itself on its enormous selection, they have plenty of good stuff on offer. The staff are cool too. We didn't stay long because it was really busy but if you're visiting Brussels I'd say you need to stop here for at least one drink - it's well worth checking the place out.

    This place is great. Visited on a Monday night, great vibe, good service and better music. Definitely must visit if you're in town.

    La Cercueil, which as the name suggests, has a coffin theme. Yes, your tables are atop actual coffins and the decor is very death oriented with skeletons. We went only because it was one of the must see places, but it was not at all my style and we did not stay more than the time it took to enter and turn around to leave.

    It's a bit kitschy but it's fun. It's one of my favorite bars in town. Bartenders are always good, plenty of great beers, and good music.

    Okay on my trip to Brussels we met up with a friend who lives in the city, he mentioned a stange little pub just off Grand Place and we ended up here. When you enter it is very small and very, very dark. The blue fluorescent lights mean that it takes a while to adjust to the darkness! There are coffins with glass over them which act as tables. It's expensive compared with some other places in Brussels, but it is worth seeing. They have skull shaped goblets and the décor is extremely macabre. I have put up a photo of the tables up too.....one using the flash and one with the flash - check out the skeletons light sabre!

    To say I love this bar would be an understatement, but I fear if I tell you that is the best bar in the world, you'll write me off as being hyperbolic. I love Halloween and all things creepy, spooky, and goth, but this isn't exactly a goth bar, per se. The music they play rocks, literally. I've never heard Lindenmann played in a bar before, but I heard them TWICE in one night at Le Cercueil, as well as tons of Rammstein, Alice Cooper, Flogging Molly, and other rock classics. I was in Heaven (or would it be Hell?) I really adored the slightly spoopy and creppy decor. The bar staff are friendly and fun. For faster service, go up to the bar and order your drinks directly. The name is French for "coffin" and as you may have guessed, instead of your standard coffee table, there are coffin tables. Yep, you read that right: you can drink your beer out of a skull and then rest it on top of a coffin. What's not to love?

    Awesome heavy metal bar down a small alley right by Grand Place. Dark with great decor and good drinks.

    1 would give 0 stars if I could. Server was extremely rude! The peach beer was very good however so I would recommend if you go for that.

    This is one of those "you gotta check it out" places. Skull shaped mugs. Coffins for tables. Friendly service. What's not to like?

    If you love Delirium, you'll love this multi-level compound style pub…read more This is absolutely a must visit for any craft beer lover, especially Delirium. They've got so many offerings, quaint decor on every floor, various places to sit, including a rooftop. It's definitely a touristy thing to do but with over 2,000 beers to choose from, who cares? I loved every minute of it. It's crazy busy at times especially when live music events are taking place. We shared a Yard Stick which were multiple beers (smaller taster sizes). See my pics for exactly how many. Service was exceptional.

    If you love beer, this place is a MUST when visiting Brussels! We stopped by Delirium Café and…read morewow... the selection is insane. They're known for having one of the biggest beer selections in the world, and you can literally spend hours just reading the menu. We ordered their famous beer flight that comes with 10 different types of beers. Each one was completely unique, different flavors, colors, and strengths. It was such a fun way to try a variety without committing to just one. Some were light and refreshing, others were strong and bold. I loved that every glass felt like a new experience. The service was great! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. They also have a photobooth inside, which was such a fun surprise. Perfect spot to make memories with friends. If you're in Brussels and want the full Belgian beer experience, this spot is a must-visit. So worth it!

    Oh where are you Green Fairy? Have you gotten lost or have I failed to find you again?…read more ...it's been years since I've first had absinthe, but hot damn- if there was going to be another time I try this spirit, it was going to be here at Floris. Situated right across from Delirium and next to miss Jeanneke Pis, Floris is the quintessential absinthe bar that everyone should visit in Brussels. If you've never had absinthe (or tasted the watered down variation that the States sells), this is a MUST. It's hard to describe what absinthe is supposed to do to you but it'll come in due time. The bartender we had was extremely friendly and knowledgable about absinthe. They probably get questions all the time so don't fret if you're new. They'll make a recommendation for you based on your taste preference, tolerance level, etc. If you've never made an absinthe drink before, you're in luck. It's a lot of fun dripping water over the sugar cube and distilling it. If you're a brave (or naive) soul, you can simply take it as a shot, but be warned that the effects may come quicker than you can handle. I absolutely loved Floris and will be back the next time I'm in Brussels. (Fitting Yelp review for my birthday post)

    When in Rome...When in Brussels, you must drink some Absinthe :-)…read more Oh the Green Fairy is thriving in this joint. Super friendly bartenders, hundreds, yes hundreds of various absinthe bottles from all over the world - including (drum roll) Seattle. Floris offers a unique atmosphere and a memorable experience. Knowledgeable staff is privy to many absinthe fun facts and will gladly share tidbits with you. Now for the main course: we sampled 3 kinds of this infamous spirit. Compete with sugar cubes and flames of course. I can honestly tell you, it tastes like @%&, but gives you a very different yet quick buzz. Eager to get the full experience, one of our rounds included absinthe with the highest concentration of worm wood available these days, which is 35%. P.S. Totally worth a visit, and this is a full bar, so other spirits are available if you so desire.
