The most awful dance school in Brussels from my experience. The ballet teacher is very…read moreunprofessional and lessons are not changing at all for the past few months, so you do not learn anything new. Also the teacher makes humiliating jokes which makes you feel uncomfortable and not wanting to continue the lessons. I do not recommend this school as the manager is not open to take case by case situations into account and does not even try to understand you. Very old fashioned school with no European standards (no clean toilet with toilet paper, even no separate changing room for boys and girls). Very disappointing!!!

But it was highly recommended by our new…read morefriends from Beer Projects and since we always looking for places to drink, so we decided to venture into the dark..... La Porte Noire felt like the the perfect place to drink and to get drunk with a bible of bottle beers, 11 drafts and choice of whiskeys. The underground cave like dungeon feel could be cozy for some and devilish for others. I think my Yelp Friend was hoping one of the Hobbits or Gandalf would walk in and sit next to us anytime. Or a group or dwarves would start dancing on top of one of the tables. Don't bother with your phone... you won't get any signal: no Yelping, Untaping or Whatsapp. So now you can look and talk to your drinking buddies for a change! I can assure you that they carries good beers as checking Ratebeer might not be necessary. Asking your friendly bartenders or fellow patrons might be a better way to go. What to drink? This is always been the question and the answer: Taras Boulba by Brasserie de la Senne (Beer Advocate :90) V Cense by Brasserie Jandrain-Jandrenouille (Ratebeer: 92) Avoid the backroom if you are not a smoker then you will have a good time.

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!

Just think of all the factors that must fall into place - the band's tour dates, availability of tickets, and proximity to the venue. It's pretty much the ultimate trifecta of coincidence. As it turns out, I am that lucky person - someone who was gifted a Hot Chip ticket to a sold-out Saturday night show in Brussels! Because I wanted to live like a local, I took the metro instead of a cab. And then walked. And walked some more. Gosh, Belgian maps are difficult to read. Of course, I found it. Ancienne Belgique is this beautiful, contemporary music venue that feels spacious with its soaring ceilings but in actuality, the capacity makes it quite intimate. In fact, I didn't think I'd have a shot at running into some new friends who were also going to the show but alas, I found them by the first bar I set my thirsty sights on. Luck strikes yet again! The sound quality is superb. If you prefer to drink while watching your favorite band take the stage (yes!), then angle for a space on the floor near one of the doors. That's how the savvy Belgian boys do it anyway, and I was right there to capitalize. If you'd rather take a seat, there's 'romantic' seating in the back and then there's also two levels of terrace. The bars work on a token system so make sure to head there first. And if you have a coat or anything else you'd prefer to dump during the show, head downstairs and grab a locker for €1. So convenient! Hopefully sooner than later, I'll be back.

If you're in Brussels and need your Metal fix, this is the place to come…read more It's the premiere Metal bar in town and has a decent selection of (mostly Belgian) Ale's for reasonable prices. Nothing too outstanding here but as with most Belgian bars that I've visited, the quality of the beer is very good to outstanding. Where this place shines is with regard to the atmosphere and music selection. It's dimly lit and cavernous in feel. It's oblique shape tends to make it feel more spacious than it really is. This is the only place I've ever visited on this planet that actually played "Bonded by Blood" by Exodus on vinyl. How cool is that? A former bar maiden there (Jessica) also spun "Mercenary" by Bolf Thrower for us one night. Again, this place really shines with regard to Metal "nuggets" and every time I come to Brussels, this place is a must visit destination (much to the chagrin of my travel partners...) Drop in, Start drinking Duvel and get your Metal groove on...
