Cruising in Brussels happens indoors. The city has one dedicated cruise bar and two gay saunas, all central, and that's where we point you. We don't publish outdoor spots.
Stammbar
Stammbar at Rue du Marché au Charbon 114 is the only cruise bar left in Brussels, a men's fetish bar with a darkroom that's popular with bears and leather guys. Travel Gay lists it as open Monday to Friday 21:00-03:00, Saturday 21:00-05:00 and Sunday 15:00-20:00. Le Duquesnoy, the older leather bar on Rue Duquesnoy, no longer appears in current guides.
Saunas
- Macho Sauna — Rue du Marché au Charbon 106. The larger one, non-stop at weekends.
- Oasis Sauna — Rue Van Orley 10. Daily 11:30-22:00.
La Griffe and Club 3000 have both closed. The full comparison is in the Brussels gay saunas guide.
Parties
Some of the bigger gay parties, including La Démence and the queer techno night CAVE, have darkrooms or a fetish dress code. Check each party's own page for the rules.
