 | Région de Bruxelles-Capitale Nightlife | Tips 1 - 1 of 1 |  |
Brussels’ location at the heart of Europe encourages top artists and budding stars to tour here. However, the city has a thriving homegrown scene of its own. Jazz has been strong since the 1920s and there is year-round live jazz in a cluster of venues, climaxing in the annual Brussels Jazz Festival. The club scene is relatively new, drawing the crowds after much lingering in the city’s many bars and Irish pubs that overflow with expatriates. The legal drinking age in Belgium is 15 years and the price of a beer is around €2.
Aside from the tacky discos for tourists, there is the big-name-DJ-drawing Fuse. The best send out their sounds into the night, around Place de St-Géry, Manneken-Pis and in the Marolles district. Clubs open at 2300, heat up at midnight and survive until about 0600. Being foreign and dressed in tune with the club’s image helps the admission process along considerably. Entrance is sometimes free but will more likely cost about €7.
The Fnac, in the City 2 complex on Rue Neuve, is the best place for club tickets, although the Tourist Office on Grand-Place may also be of help. Perhaps the highlight of the clubbing year is the Klinkende Munt outdoor music festival, held every July in Brussels at the Place de la Monnaie, Petit-Chateau and the Beursschouwburg. Listings and information on nightlife events in Brussels can be found online (website: www.funinbrussels.com/midnight/discotheque.htm or www.noctis.com).
Bars: Most of the city’s trendy bars are to be found on or around Place St Gery.
There is a casino in nearby Naumur. The Casino de Naumur, Avenue Baron Moreau 1, is open daily 1400-0500. Visitors are required to hold a passport of ID document and dress code is smart (strictly no trainers). The minimum age for entry is 21 years. Theme: Other
