Is the "Sudden Death" bar named after the beer or a dice game of the same name? No one is really sure, but folks keep coming here, hoping to find out. Rustic wooden tables and chairs, along with stained-glass panels on the walls, seem straight out of the 19th century. Now, as then, the drink of choice is beer, whether you choose a monastery brew...

What could be more chic than drinking in a 1920s train car decorated in Art Nouveau style? The young, hip crowd come to drink Belgian brews and snack on fresh, reasonably priced salads, omelets, and sandwiches. During the balmy months, patrons jockey for a spot on the sunny terrace.

A popular favorite, this Art Nouveau tavern has been serving drinks since 1904.

Each Saturday night, the party is at Fuse, the hottest dance club in Brussels.

House, jungle and hip-hop can be heard on the other two floors. Four bars and a "chill out" room provide...

Excellent wines and well-mixed cocktails are just two reasons to patronize this painfully chic jazz café. It's rumored that Nat King Cole once played here, and live jazz is still heard (free) each Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

This spot has been a popular artists' hang-out since it opened in 1846. Local poets and writers-in-residence have jotted their musings on the walls, and the eclectic decorations (everything from antlers to bicycle tires) may help explain some of Magritte's paintings – he was a patron. Drop in to experience for yourself the kitschy hominess that...

This refined brasserie, located across the street from the Brussels Stock Exchange (the Bourse), is filled with well-dressed businesspeople, drinking away a hectic day. In fact, wood paneling and turn-of-the-century decor seem to suit the "suits" that congregate here. Though a wide selection of Belgian beers is available, the house drink is the...

Fashion-conscious Euro-yuppies populate this dance club, which is located in the stylish Ixelles neighborhood. Flashing lights and a revolving dance floor might elicit chuckles at first, but let yourself go – the place was designed for carefree fun.
