About this place Downtown Brussels

Downtown Brussels is a gay bar on Rue Henri Maus, right beside the Bourse in central Brussels. The street is a couple of minutes from Rue du Marché au Charbon, the city's main cluster of gay bars, so it fits easily into a bar crawl. It holds a high Google rating (4.8 from over 900 reviews), which points to a well-run, busy place. There are no opening hours on file, so check the bar's Instagram or website for the current schedule, events and any entry policy. The area is busiest on Friday and Saturday nights, and nearby bars often stay open late.

We were having a great time with friends, and my friend and our entire group were thrown out for no good reason. The manager was incredibly unpleasant.

Great! Cheap beer during happy hour (€3) especially compared to other bars!!! And they were showing football too. The beer was served in classic stadium cups. Super atmosphere! I'll definitely be back.

Great pub, frequented mainly by young people, but older folks (like myself) also have no problem feeling comfortable here. There's a wide selection of very different beers on tap and other drinks, which are extremely reasonably priced compared to the usual tourist traps (happy hours for beer run from noon until 10 pm). A real insider tip. I thought you guys were great.

The atmosphere is very pleasant. The prices are also reasonable. If you can find a seat, you should definitely try it.
