If you are looking for a lively place in Brussels center where you can dance, drink a beer & even have a quick bite, this is one of your definite options. Always busy with good music & open until late
Erwin VanheckeFebruary 7, 2015An authentic "brown café" with a great selection of beers at a reasonable price, considering the location. Not to miss out if you want to mingle with locals and get a taste of the real Brussels.
Niklas Hjelm-SmithJanuary 27, 2015The spaghetti is delicious! Tip: Don't order the spaghetti "Special" at Maxi size, since it's only a rib in it. For better value, get the regular or smaller portion.
JessicaNovember 20, 2016Great place for a casual drink. We visited during the day and was pretty quiet. We also tried the 'bit of everything' platter which was ok, expensive for what it is though.
ElifFebruary 6, 2015Great ambience, very friendly place. May be the best old rustic Belgian bar in the city!
Cynthia vander HaveNovember 19, 2014Very famous for the house spaghetti. You can buy a book with all bolognese recipes! Cosy place for a quick lunch or a long drink!
Lovely selection of beers try the Orval or the Tripel Kermeliet and some cheese for nibbling. Busyness alternates but if you stay long enough you'll get a table.
Andy GoovaertsJanuary 4, 2016Nice bar with many beers on draft and in bottles. One of the best cafés in Brussels... Try the tripel Chimay from the draft... Super!!
MikeSeptember 10, 2017Excellent bar with even better staff. They have a good, rotating list of beer and their charcuterie is spot-on if you need a snack.
Aslı Yükselci KilciOctober 11, 2016Have a very great atmosphere for drinking something and relax😌 I also tried their spaghetti but it was so-so😐
a great range of bears in an authentic setting. and the best spaghetti's of Brussels !
Timothy CohenSeptember 27, 2020Big, noisy and always crowded place at night. Many beers to choose from as well some beer salami and cheese. The bolognaise pasta are famous and cheap but it’s not crazy amazing either. It’s ok.
For me THE GREATEST pub in Brussels. They have the amazing Chimay Triple on draft. At the back you can eat a fantastic spaghetti.
Laura ClaerboutJuly 28, 2016Whether it is to enjoy a good Belgian beer, or to eat a spaghetti in the back, Monk is one of the places to be in Brussels!
Adam NowekJanuary 15, 2016Great Flemish bar with a small but phenomenal beer selection. The spaghetti is pretty good; it comes with a mountain of cheese.- MathewMarch 29, 2016Cosy atmosphere with lovely beer selection and spaghetti dishes. Prices are very reasonable €10 for food and about €2-4 for beer
Lennert VJanuary 13, 2018Order a "droge worst" with a "boudin" or some cheese and a Gueuze with your friends and be happy to be alive
Iris DelforgeDecember 1, 2019Cool bar, typical of Brussels and tasty Belgian beers! The food is simple and nice but the atmosphere is convivial.
Tunke LauriksJuly 3, 2015Love this bar! Appropriate for young and old and a alternative atmosphere. Big love for the music!
Michael HallettNovember 5, 2014Lovely pub with friendly staff. The seat by the window on a sunny day is a glorious place to set up camp
Tom StammenSeptember 29, 2014Liking the quality of the strong spirits here! They go for special instead of just the ordinary stuff you would see in other bars.
Frank MamoneFebruary 17, 2017Great place to chill and enjoy a choice of savoury Belgium beer, sausage, pate, and cheese.
Sieglinde MichielMay 26, 2013Great spaghetti in the buffet room at noon and from 6 o clock at night!
Filip JansOctober 15, 2013Amazing spaghetti with delicious cheese toppings in a awesome buffet room! Must do

- Rl GnsFebruary 9, 2011Nice music and typical selection of Belgian beer. Get a spot around the piano and enjoy the brown Belgian bar feeling.
Paul JorgensenSeptember 29, 2015Wi-Fi password is on a chalkboard to the left of the end of the bar.
Benjamin BurtenshawNovember 12, 2015The bolognaise is amazing. The rest is average. The chilly sauce is awful, not prepared with chili but just with your everyday Belgian 'red pepper'.

This superb 1596 property accommodates a great café dedicated both to arts and feasts. The ancient "Art Déco" biliard room is reserved for excellent spaghetti lovers. On the first floor you can find a polyvalent room for exhibitions, conferences,etc…

"One more Nicolay bar. Great for having a drink during sunset as it is located in high altitude. Don't miss DJ nights, one of the few Brussels bars where you can actually dance."
