The Fête de l’Iris started tonight with the free Sharko concert which was setup right next to the Royal Palace of Brussels. Formed in 1997 by David Bartholomé, Sharko is a well known Belgian Indie Rock band with four albums to date released. Here are some ±50 pictures of the 1st of three Fête de l’Iris concerts of Mai 10.

I’ve be happy to spot for the first time today two new Grim Reaper mimes right next to the Manneken Pis statue located at 1 Rue du Chêne. Always nice to see a new act in town especially since these artists are in short number in Brussels.

Just a stone’s throw from the Manneken piss on the corner is where you will find the Poechenellekelder café, or just nicknamed “Poech” for the regulars. This typical Brussels pub with its phenomenal interior decor is one of the most lively in the center during the day and has varied clientele where the locals don’t hesitate to share with the tourists for a chat.

View from the exterior

A look from the 1st room near the entrance

You get a feel of rich decor and special atmosphere as soon you enter

Approaching the main room near the bar section

Probably the best spot to enjoy the densely packed interior decoration with its puppets, trumpets, crossbows, beer crates hanging from everywhere.

Seated and awaiting a drink and a view of the bar itself

Final decision ater a while looking at the menu was Trappist Achel to drink
