Unpleasant experience. Aside from the music which fitted the place, everything else in this bar was…read morea disaster. Starting with rude service, mandatory paid cloakroom and paid bathrooms. Drinks are expensive and cocktails are basically sugar with ice and some flavor, the barman was extremely rude and finally no card is accepted unless you pay at least 20 euros. They extended me a sort of ticket of 20 euros valid for consumption when I asked for the remaining reimbursement they rudely refused and did not give the money back. Definitely if you want to feel/experience the Latin ambience this is not the right place since you will get heavily disappointed. I would not recommend the place at all, stay away from it.

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!

I'm starting to get a little board with all of the Irish Pubs scattered about, but then again when…read moreyou have options such as yet get here in Brussels then an Irish Pub is, well, going to be rather boring. However, this pub was across the road from where I was staying, so I really couldn't stay in Brussels without actually going and checking this place out, which is what I ended up doing. Well, this pub was okay, but the problem was not so much the pub but rather the competition that it had to deal with. The other thing was that it really wasn't my scene, though the crowds that seemed to regularly find themselves outside obviously told a different story. One thing I did notice was that about about 9:00 pm the pub basically became a nightclub, and all of the outdoor tables were removed to be replaced with a couple of bouncers.
