80 /100 RUE DE L'AQUEDUC 61/63
“Lovely, wine bar looking place, modern, slick and interesting. They make breakfast, sandwiches, tea, specialty coffee, cocktails etc. Beer list is small but interesting chosen with Surréaliste, Boon, Dochter van de Korenaar. The wine we tried was good as well and the Negroni I got is the best one I tried so far, cozy and different place, worth checking out, cool and charming.“

84 /100 RUE AFRICAINE 86
“New beer store from Dynamo, not too far from their bar but not exactly next door either. A minimalist shop with shelves and fridges for the hoppy beers, friendly service. Not just beers either, hot sauce, sardines, olives, and natural wines too. Wine selection looked interesting, but I am not knowledgeable enough to judge. Nice selection of Brussels breweries, Tilquin, BE standards like De Ranke, Blaugies, choice FR, UK bottles and cans. I still prefer Malt Attacks but we will see how this place evolves, definitely worth checking out for sure. It’s a cool place for sure.“

78 /100 RUE MORIS 17A, ST GILLES
“Minimal terrace outside but gorgeous interior, Art Deco vibes with lots of copper, brightly colored cushions, modern design tables, chairs, benches, spacious, art displayed, and art gallery look. Friendly service, some rarer, interesting beers on the menu, sadly without the brewery written next to them on the menu. Abbaye d’Aywiers pilsner on tap, Brasserie Surréaliste, Stoemelings beers, some beers rather expensive. My partner got a cocktail, tasty but probably mocktail by accident. Vegan, cheese plates etc. available, didn’t try. Art focused and different for sure bar, cool place.“

72 /100 39 PARVIS DE SAINT-GILLES
“Located on a street with almost nothing but bars and restaurants with lots of traction. Sat outside on the terrace which was spacious. The interior looks great as well (long, minimalist, modern), service at the bar, food available in the evening and snacks during the day with vegetarian options. A small number of rotating beers, indicated inside but not on the card menu. Guest tap from L’Ermitage and some De La Senne beers, got a few years old De La Senne which aged great, not past BBF either. Average prices, good prices for cocktails, basil smash was a bit too heavy on sweetness. Nothing too special or unique but nice place to chill at.“

84 /100 BD ANSPACH 89
“Large place on the main drag not far from La Bourse. It looked a bit touristy at first, but that was not the case. The taps served several regular beers but we did find a few gems. The ambiance was very comfortable. The bar servers were friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The best thing for us was the extensive bottle list.“

GIST (Bar)
OUD KORENHUIS 30
“We were a little disappointed. Yes, they have a lot of taps, but several of them were empty. The beers on offer did cover a good range of styles and there was a good bottle/can list too. One of our first beers was a short measure and the barman was reluctant to top it up. It took him 2 more goes before the beer reached the line. All of our following beers were proper measures.“

“Small bar not far from the Grand Place. Fairly empty when we visited on Monday afternoon. Many beers on tap. A good range of styles and a reasonable mixture of regulars and rarer beers. Something for everyone. Service was at the bar and was friendly and efficient.“

86 /100 RUE DE TAMINES 2
“New taproom in Sint-Gilles of DrinkThatBeer brewery. Spacious, modern, looks loverly, could be touch warmer given the weather. Very friendly / great service. Sandwiches, cheese etc. available, vegetarian options, not sure if anything can be vegan. Multiple pour sizes available, you can taste a beer before ordering, 10 or so taps, good prices, decent to slightly better beers. Great atmosphere. Great stuff, relaxing, great service, decibel meter in place, pleasant volume, wonderful, should definitely return.“

74 /100 7 RUE PONT LA CARPE
“Real old school rock and roll vibe in look and service, there’s even a motorcycle behind the bar and they do shows plus it looks very brown. Very friendly service and good prices in a very lively neighborhood. They have their own shot which at 4 euro is a great deal and tasted nice. One rotating tap with Zinnebier on, Trappist selection on the menu. English speaking staff. Some real charm here, might pop in again at some future time, very much in central Brussels. Popcorn given with all drinks.“

68 /100 1 RUE DU LOMBARD
“Some nice game-oriented murals, spacious, nice terrace. Seems to be tourist oriented, tap selection is largely inoffensive and expensive, sweeter, more commercial Belgians. The same can be said for the beer list, expensive and not every exciting. English spoken and card payment possible.“

Le Cirio (Restaurant)
RUE DE LA BOURSE 18
“Utterly gorgeous Art Deco restaurant near the Bourse where the staff still have uniforms. The interior is a work of art and definitely worth the visit, food seemed classic brasserie. The taps were industrial rubbish tough and the beer list ubiquitous beers at best.“

“Es un bar muy agradable. Tienen una selección decente, aunque la verdad esperaba más variedad. La cerveza evidentemente estuvo muy deliciosa. Existe la opción de pedir 10 cervezas diferentes en tasters, pero son demasiado grandes para poder siquiera pedir uno para uno mismo. Me hubiese gustado que tuvieran presentaciones un poco más pequeñas.“

74 /100 BOULEVARD ANSPACH 77
“Located on the Anspachlaan with a big terrace and a traditional interior where the light fixtures remind you of the times of gas lamps. The menu is high on macro brands but has some new Brussel breweries (De La Senne, L'Hermitage etc.) and a reasonable range of Boon products including Boon Oude Lambiek available per glass or jugs of 500 ml. and 1 litter which was a nice surprise, charming. Very quick service, very popular.“

“Big place that’s a short walk from the central square. Beer menu is pretty large but 95% standard Belgians. So, yeah, may be a tourist destination. But the other 5% are unique and interesting craft. So worth a visit especially if Moeder Lambic Fontainas down the street is busy“

Le Bier Circus (Restaurant)
RUE DE L’ENSEIGNEMENT 57 ONDERRICHTSSTRAAT
“Walked in on a Friday evening to a severe lack of interest. Asked where the bar was, as there was no one to welcome us or explain the service rules and some bearded ponce gestured us to head round the corner. 5 minutes later were still sat there. Looked like 4 taps ... no tap badges .. had a look through the menu... seemed okay. Still no service ... complete cunt in the classical Belgian style of disinterested. We stayed a few more minutes and the 8 of us just fucked off elsewhere. Places like this don't need to exist.“
