Going Out

Nights out in Brussels, sorted by what you actually feel like doing. Bars come neighbourhood by neighbourhood: Ixelles, Saint-Gilles, Schaerbeek, Etterbeek and the Saint-Géry area in the city centre, alongside wine bars, lounge bars, LGBTQ+ bars, jazz spots, Belgian beer pubs, dancing bars and the student bars where you can go out without blowing your budget. Clubs, concert halls and live venues, theatres, cinemas, stand-up and improv nights cover the rest of the after-dark side.

When going out means doing something rather than drinking something, this is also where you will find escape games, bowling and laser tag, karting, minigolf, padel and indoor football, climbing gyms, trampoline parks, VR and arcade rooms, billiards, karaoke and board game bars, plus rooftops, terraces, city pools and green spots for the daytime version. Every guide is written in Brussels, for people who live here rather than visit for a weekend.
