A legendary, multi-level jazz cafe operating since the 1960s, featuring live jazz performances almost every night in a cozy, brick-walled setting.

Such a nice jazz bar! They have a program every evening starting at 21h. If you arrive before then there’s probably some space to sit, but it does get busy. There’s two floors though and the interior is so nice. Very friendly staff and nice musicians. Had a great night!

Lucked out with two seats on the third level overlooking the bar and stage. This place is beloved by locals and tourists, so finding a seat—especially on weekends—can be a challenge. The beer selection was excellent, and having a second bar on level two kept things moving. The space itself is incredible: a narrow footprint stacked across three levels, each with sightlines down to the bar and stage. Premium people‑watching. When the band starts to play, the whole room turns magical. The musicians the night we visited were fine—at times it felt more like a casual jam than a performance—but the venue is such a gem that it’s still absolutely worth going.

I’ve been to this bar several times. The live music is often excellent and really worth the visit. Unfortunately, the service is consistently disappointing: bartenders tend to chat among themselves, come across as unfriendly, and sometimes appear unhygienic (and don't know how to properly pour a beer). It gives the impression they’re not particularly engaged with the atmosphere or the jazz scene. That said, the quality of the music and the selection of great beers largely compensate for these shortcomings.

Loved this bar. Good beer and very friendly staff. Arrived around 14:30 and stayed for an hour so can’t speak to the shows but the ambiance and music playing was jazzy and nice. Bartender was happy to recommend Belgium beers for me and I enjoyed each, which were not too expensive either. Great spot
