Homo Erectus

על המקום הזה 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.
