Last night, my mum and I went for a few beers to this place. Seeing the rating at TA, we thought it would be a good idea to go here and have some quality time with some beer. The great variety of beers is fantastic, and it is served in a way it should be. However, after our first beer,... More

This is really a unique place to drink, there are puppets everywhere, instruments on the ceiling, a random giant fork haha and countless other random things. There are loads of beers available and you are given complimentary pretzels. Staff are lovely, definitely worth a visit!

The atmosphere was great and all the staff were very friendly and helpful with our choices and we got a complimentary pot of nibbles when we ordered beers (they... More

My friends and I were wandering around central Brussels for something to eat, and my friend vaguely remembered that this place was highlighted as a top place to go for drinks. We went in to see if they were serving food, and they were, so were taken to a table downstairs. It is quite small inside but packed with tables.... More

We were in Brussels for two nights and went to this bar both nights. What a lovely bar!! Staff was very friendly, helpful and funny. The amount of different belgian beers was great and lovely snacks to go with the beer was served. If you are looking for a cozy bar to have a few beers and have a chat,... More

The place has vey unique decorations and it is very cosy. However, the staff appeared to me as unfriendly and impatient when we approached her. The beers selection are wide, cheap and good nonetheless.

Deceptively sized bar mannequin pis. Full of scary puppets and a really traditional feel. Bar menu was excellent with a great selection of traditional Belgian bottled beers. Definitely worth a visit, but go early as can imagine it gets really busy!

A popular bar close to the manneken pis decorated in a unique and eclectic style with puppets, mannequins and other interesting and macabre objects. This bar has a really good atmosphere and a steady buzz of punters, both local and tourist, young and old. There is an extensive beer list which gives some guidance on beer types and strengths, and... More
