Cafe Roskam

An always buzzing live-music institution
Tipple of choice: Try the Oud Beersel Geuze, a traditional lambic beer with a hoppy flavour.

Loud and lively, Cafe Roskam is a great place to get together with a group of friends, have a few drinks and chat into the early hours. Brasserie-style tables and chairs are crammed into the front, where people of all ages gather to listen to the frequent live music. Expect everything from jazz to swing and indie bands, as well as Brussels' finest DJs at weekends.
For a more intimate setting, head towards the back of the bar and lounge in the comfy seating area, amongst black and white photos of Brussels harking back to a former era.
