Fairly sophisticated bar in an excellent street for drinking. With candles, drapes, and ambient or classical music, it is quieter and older than many of its neighbours, and is the scene of many a thirtysomething seduction. There is a also a small food menu. 5pm-3am Sat, Sun. Smoky old bar with brown walls and a bare tiled floor, selling 18 types of vodka and a fairly long list of Belgian beers.
Customers are mainly Flemish, with a strong contingent of barflies and eccentrics.
Scruffy and relaxed, it can be a good antidote to the more style-conscious bars around the Bourse. Open 9pm-dawn Fri, Sat. The style of this bar is Central American kitsch, with primary colours, fairy lights, shrines, lanterns and plastic flowers, although it's often too crowded and dark to see much of this. It's usually empty until well past midnight, and then rapidly becomes packed out. There's a small dancefloor at the back, with music ranging from Latin American to hip- hop and 1970s disco.
