Tels Quels

Tels Quels is a low‑key Brussels LGBTQ+ bar and community hub that’s been around since the late‑70s. Founded in the late 1970s, the association runs a cheap, non‑commercial bar that doubles as a community centre. By day you’ll find talks, film screenings and support groups; by night the same space serves a modest drink to anyone who drops in. It feels more like a volunteer‑run living room than a nightlife hotspot, so you’ll meet locals who aren’t looking for a club scene. If you want to escape the polished gay bars that line Rue du Marché, this is the place to strike up a conversation. The venue has moved at least once. Older listings point to Rue du Marché au Charbon, while newer ones show Place de la Liberté 4. Opening times are usually 18:00 on weekdays and 16:00 on weekends, but the schedule can shift with each relocation. Check the current address and programme on telsquels.be before you head out.
