Sobre este lugar Belgica

O Belgica abriu na Rue du Marché au Charbon 32 em 1993 como um dos primeiros bares gays construídos propositalmente no que se tornaria a rua gay dedicada da Bélgica. É o bar gay de maior duração de Brussels — 32 anos de serviço ininterrupto — e o local âncora da faixa comercial queer do Marché au Charbon. O bar ocupa um espaço de esquina no térreo com terraço na calçada tanto na Rue du Marché au Charbon quanto na Rue du Lombard. Seu estilo é um híbrido de café-bar de Brussels: serviço de café e doces durante o dia, coquetéis e cerveja belga à noite, sem pista de dança. O interior — madeira escura, tetos altos, sofás ao longo das paredes — foi preservado essencialmente inalterado desde uma reforma em 2007 que manteve intencionalmente o caráter de 1993. A importância do Belgica para o patrimônio queer de Brussels é de instituição âncora em vez de organização política: é onde a vida pública queer de Brussels acontece, e sua continuidade de 32 anos forneceu a infraestrutura física em torno da qual a faixa de rua gay circundante emergiu. Locais vizinhos no Marché au Charbon — Le Fontainas, Le Plattesteen, Chez Maman — são posteriores ao Belgica em um a cinco anos. Aberto diariamente das 12:00 (serviço de café) às 03:00. Sem couvert. A estação de metrô Bourse fica a dois minutos a pé. Na noite padrão de patrimônio queer de Brussels, este é o ponto natural para um drink inicial — combine com uma caminhada para o sul ao longo da faixa da rua gay até Chez Maman (ver entrada separada) para um cabaré pós-drinks.

It was an excellent bar for decades (under the former management), but recently and sadly has succumbed to wokism, exclusion and incompetence. Don’t waist your time.

I went to this bar at a time when people were still entering and I asked what time the bar closes and a female door attendant spoke to me in French and I asked her if she could speak to me in English. She then responded by saying to me ‘you are a man and this is your first mistake, you are American and this is your second mistake, finally you don’t speak French and this is your third mistake please leave’. It is disgraceful to me is that the door attendant at a gay nightclub in Brussels should be so discriminatory and unacceptably rude. I am shocked and disheartened by such a disgraceful display of racism, sexism and intolerance. The door attendant in question was wearing a orange baseball cap and I am including a photo which identifies who she is without showing her face! This ruined what had been a very pleasant evening.

Terrible experience after being a loyal customer for 6 years. I was pushed out of the bar by staff after refusing to yield my place in the queue for the toilet. After that, I was told in mafia-style, there are other bars I can go to if I don't like this kind of treatment. Rude, arrogant, don't deserve the clientele that blindly goes there. Avoid as much as you can, it can happen to you to.

We went to Belgica with my friend yesterday at 10pm. We wanted to go to toilet and then grab a drink. A bartender jumped into the toilet, kicked the door and started scream to get out. When my friend went out, a tall guy with moustache and glasses screamed at as "You have to come and ask first!". Excuse me, I don't have to do anything! We entered, none of bartenders was interested in welcoming us, so we just went to toilet. For me it's normal. But kicking the door, screaming at customers and asking them to "get out" at the end is totally abnormal! Customer service worse than on a gas station!

Very unfriendly staff and strange atmosphere. On top of that, they have a statue of Leopold II inside. The conversation with the bartender went as followed: - I: "Am I seeing it correclty that you have a statue of Leopold II here?" - He: "Yes, so what?" - I: "Are you aware of the horrific things he has done and what kind of message you are sending out by putting a statue of him here?". He gave me a desinterested look and turned away. To sum up, I definitely don't recommend to go to this place.

Superb decoration. That did not change since the 50’s and there you go. Tiny (therefore always crowdy and therefore the mood is there immediately. Mixed and hyper trendy crowd. Beautiful people. Awasome DJs and music. Highly recommended. If there were only one gay bar in Brussels this will be it. Lové lové lové it

I would give this bar 5 stars for atmosphere but I just can't ignore that they display a bust of massmurderer king Leopold 2. Would you allow a german bar to have a statue from adolf hitler?
