The best night I've ever had! The clientele was lovely, the servers were incredibly kind, the atmosphere was fantastic, and the drag queens weren't vulgar at all. A very professional show. I had an excellent evening and met some amazing people. Thank you, Mom and her artists! Plus, the restrooms were very clean.

Hours are incorrect. Waited 40 minutes after posted opening and kept being told "we open in 10 but they didn't open"

A wonderful discovery! I came with my mother and a friend, who are French and were visiting Brussels, and this place had been recommended to us. Honestly, we have absolutely no regrets! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the setting is beautiful, and the staff is very welcoming. We had a fantastic time; everything was delicious and beautifully presented. Plus, it was my birthday week, which made it even more special. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return.

In the 1990s, in the heart of the Saint-Jacques district (the true LGBTQIA+ heart of Brussels), a place unlike any other was born: Chez Maman. Not just a bar, not just a stage, but a refuge, a family, a revolution in heels. Behind this affectionate name lies a simple yet powerful idea: To create a place where everyone can be themselves… and above all, shine without apology!
