About this place Homo Erectus

Homo Erectus occupies a well-positioned spot on the Rue des Pierres, one street from the Rue du Marché au Charbon's main gay cluster, and functions as one of Brussels' most reliably enjoyable neighbourhood gay bars. The name is deliberately playful; the bar is deliberately unpretentious. The crowd is local and loyal — a mix of Brussels residents of all ages, EU workers who have found their local, and visitors working their way through the neighbourhood's bars. The beer selection reflects Belgium's extraordinary brewing culture: you will not find a bar in Brussels, gay or otherwise, that does not take Belgian beer seriously. Homo Erectus is the kind of bar where you come for one drink and stay for three, primarily because the conversation is good and nobody is trying to move you on. Well-placed for a Rue du Marché au Charbon bar crawl and accessible from the Grand-Place on foot.

A must if u visit Brussels and you want a queer gay place ! During my visit there I met Chris the owner extremely friendly and hospitable, giving you the vibe of a safe space.

Just returned home from Brussels and this eclectic, charming bar was truly a highlight of our visit. Kriss made us feel welcome the moment we set foot in the door. The decor was fun, funky and so very gay! Loved every minute we had here. May well be my favorite gay bar ever. Do yourself a favor and stop next time you’re in the neighbourhood.
