Brussels Gay Bars

Le Baroque is a gay bar in the heart of Brussels' gay street, popular with bears, friends and admirers.

Although small inside, this bar is very popular. Most guests will drink outside (there's little room inside), but the atmosphere is great. Colourful ceilings and walls add to the fun atmosphere.

On the weekend, there's usually a DJ who plays a mixture of club classics and pop music. Give him a wink and he'll play your favorite tune, too.

Yuca Latina is a popular Latin American bar and restaurant in Brussels. Whether you’re craving mouthwatering tacos, zesty ceviche, or indulgent churros, this restaurant has something for everyone.

The bar is equally impressive, serving up expertly crafted cocktails including mojitos and margaritas. Yuca Latina is near rue Royale.

The oldest gay bar in Brussels. We love the 'pub feel' here - it's cosy, friendly, and the beer selection is superb. Ask the barman for his recommendations if you're not sure what to try.

La Reserve has a great sound system, and the music is upbeat and loud, especially on weekends! Attracts a more mature crowd.

Le Belgica has become a Brussels gay institution, with excellent music by a live DJ, cute guys behind the bar and cheap drinks.

A great hangout for post-dinner or pre-clubbing. You'll find most people socialising outside, although the glitter balls inside make for the perfect dance floor.

Amalgame Karaoke Bar is the best karaoke bar in town, known for its respectful staff and vibrant atmosphere. The bar has a great DJ and regularly hosts exciting events.

The bar is run by Jérôme & Marco and is located just a few minutes' walk from the Grand-Place.

L'Homo Erectus is a gay café and bar with nice atmosphere and staff in the heart of Brussels, next to Le Detour bar. Small and intimate.

The cozy and welcoming environment is complemented by a friendly barman and a lovely outdoor seating area. The bar also hosts occasional drag shows and fetish social meetings. 

Le Dolores is a small, cosy bar in the centre of the gay scene with an outside terrace, popular during the summer and winter.

The bar stocks also popular gay magazines Bruce and Tribu, which contain news and information on current gay events in Brussels and further afield. 

Fun, popular weekend gay bar with drag shows, hosted by the one and only Maman and her cast of fabulous performers.

It's a tight space and always crowded, so best to arrive early if you want to see the show. To enter, knock on the door and wait to be called in. Usually men only, depending on the mood of the bouncer.

Whilst the show takes place, the bar will be closed (they use the bar to perform). There is a bar upstairs - great for taking photos with all the girls! Free entry.

Castro is a small gay bar in Brussels in the Saint Jacques district. The drinks and cheap and the vibe is laidback. It's quite a typical Brussels bar with a terrace and a selection of local beers.

Station BXL is a gay bar in downtown Brussels for bears and their friends. It's known for its friendly staff, good music, and a great atmosphere. The bar is popular, especially on Friday nights. Bartenders are helpful and multilingual, making everyone feel welcome.

It's located in Brussels' gay street, offering fast service, fair prices, and a diverse music playlist. The owners are welcoming, and the bar attracts a mixed-age crowd.

Just a three minute walk from the Manneken Pis is Café Le Fontainas, a gay-friendly and gay-popular cafe and bar in Brussels. Serving lunch and dinner, beers, ciders, and cocktails. Outdoor seating, lively and trendy crowd.
