Nightlife & BARS Brussel has two main centres for going out, both areas where you can shop until you drop. Popular purchases are pralines, chocolate, lace, crystal, pewter and diamonds - you will find them in the Royal District, that is around the Louizapoort, Naamsepoort and Zavel. The cinemas, discotheques and cafes are naturally grouped around. In the Lower Town, visit the boulevards and adjacent streets between the De Brouckèreplein and Beursplein. In both districts, you can enjoy the culinary delights of Brussel, which are among the best in the world.

A legend among jazz lovers while oxned by Stan Brenders in the 50's and 60's, this intimate bar was given a new lease of live when Jean-Louis & Nathalie Hennart bought it from Brenders's widow in the mid 80's. The Hennarts have done little to change its unique atmosphère and celebrities - major, minor and wannabe - sit in the old velvet armchairs beneath the soaring pillars in an art-deco setting unchanged since 1937, shipping the best cocktails in town.
