Sobre este lugar Rue du Marché au Charbon — Calle Gay de Bruselas

Rue du Marché au Charbon ("Charcoal Market Street") is a 300-metre pedestrianised street running north-south through central Brussels, between Grand Place and Place Fontainas. Since the mid-1990s it has been Brussels' dedicated gay street — Belgium's densest queer commercial concentration and one of the most-cited gay streets in continental Europe. The street's queer character emerged around 1993-1995 with the successive openings of Chez Maman (still operating at number 7 as Brussels' longest-running drag venue), Belgica (the neighbourhood's longest-running bar), and Le Fontainas at the southern end. By 2000 the strip held roughly a dozen queer or queer-friendly venues; by 2010 the City of Brussels had formally recognised it as an LGBT+ commercial corridor and the neighbourhood's Belgian Pride week programming had settled into an annual routine. The street's specific character is Belgium — a compact, multilingual, mostly-francophone-with-substantial-Flemish-and-international clientele that reflects Brussels' role as an EU institutional capital. Weekend nights bring a mix of Brussels locals, weekenders from other Belgian cities, and the international EU-institutional queer population that Brussels' civil service infrastructure supports. Peak crowd 22:00-02:00. Free, open 24/7 as public street; individual venues charge cover only for specific events. Bourse metro is directly at the northern end. On the standard Brussels queer heritage day this is the natural evening anchor — combine with Rainbow House 100 metres north or with a walk east into the Grand Place for a broader Brussels evening.

Tourists were pretending to be gay in order to harass people, and when we reported it to the staff, no one took us seriously. Very disappointing.

A must-visit on Rue du Marché au Charbon. Friendly welcome, a bar frequented by locals. Smiling staff 😊

Only had one day in town, stopped in after a day of walking and was met by the friendliest crew. Planned to have a beer, stayed for a few. Met many great people, both locals and travelers alike.

The place is really nice; it's small but the atmosphere is great, and the bartenders are wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommended for starting a night out, especially on Saturday.
