Au Bassin

About

There is a red door. Enter through the door. You are in a bar. Look to the left. There is a terrace. Look to the right. There is a terrace. Enter through the glass wall. There are drinks behind the bar. Someone might ask what you would like. You might crave a coffee at this ungodly hour. You might feel like a beer. Something Bruxellois? You might just need a glass of red. Some nights you might become king of Scrabble. Some nights you might end up queen of the dance floor. What started out as a traveler’s cafe in Brussels grew to become a unique meeting place, multilingual and open to both townsfolk and people visiting. Travel books are there to inspire you for a future adventure, and board games contribute to good old school human contact. The offer includes an extensive organic range of drinks and a spectacular homemade ginger ale. But also local specialties like the famous Zinnebir and a selection of Brussels Beer Project star on the menu.
