It's crowded in the evenings, with a fair number of stubbly artist types and an excellent atmosphere. A good choice of beer, some food, and tables outside in summer. The music is loud, it's bustling and crowded, and it's popular as a pre-club bar. Huge, cavernous, post-industrial bar next to a theatre and ballroom. Slightly arty and predominantly Flemish, it's usually empty until about 11, and then becomes packed.
Music is mostly acid jazz and funk, with occasional live bands.
Open 7am-late daily. You'll find lawyers and businessmen at weekday lunchtimes, and visitors to the Sablon antique shops and stalls at weekends. In the evening, the average age drops by several decades, and people happily drink and dance to Euro-pop. Open 4.30pm-1am daily. The music is classical, and there's a small stage at the back where there are occasional flamenco shows among other entertainments.
