written by Vincent

The Delirium Tremens Café has a selection of 2000 different beers which makes the menu handed out by the waiter seem even thicker than your yellow pages phone book directory. Not surprisingly then that under these circumstances on the 9 January 2004 it has won the very prestigious Guinness book of world records for being the establishment with the most commercially available beers with a total count of 2004. If you are there on a Thursday don’t miss the live band playing downstairs from 10PM until 2AM which make the best free jam session of all Brussels. The Delirium Tremens bar is located at 4 Impasse De La Fidélité just off the famous rue des Bouchers.

Cirio Cafe

by Vincent
written by Vincent

The Cirio Café is quite an institution in Brussels. Opened in 1886 it kept all the glory of its original Art Nouveau decor and as you enter the feeling of a place frozen in time is what first comes to mind. I doubt little has really changed since its opening. Sure worth a visit if you are looking for a place to have a drink in one of the few authentic style pubs remaining. Located on the right side of the stock exchange right in the heart of the city.
