Possibly the best beer bar in Brussels. No tourists but local crowds of artists, students and freaks. I once saw there a fox. Closes very late (I was once there at 4am).

1950s bar, popular with students, artists and locals. Michel Gondry shot some scenes there for his film "l'écume des jours" (the froth of the daydream). if Sartre was living in Brussels in 2017, Brasserie Verschueren would be indeed his home away from home.
