Hello there,
My name is Daniel. I’m a half-Italian, half-Lebanese performance artist. When I moved from Italy to Brussels one year ago, I had no idea what to expect from a place that has chosen a life-size stone statue of a peeing infant as its mascot — the infamous Manneken Pis. As cosmopolitan as it is provincial, Brussels can seem a little schizophrenic at times: two official languages (French and Flemish), wealthy eurocrats versus starving artists, and a sometimes awkward sense of humor paired with a special kindness à la belge. But I was quickly won over and learned that homo life can also be quite lively under the city’s often grey skies… as long as one knows how to find the sometimes hard-to-find venues. So here is my list of tips of where to go and what to do if you’re a fun-loving faggot up for a multilingual adventure in Europe’s capital.
Seems like ‘KIKO BAR’ is a good place to discover…
anyone want to hangout 21th?
cheers!
Hi, i´ll be in Brussels from June to September this year. Hope i can meet some of you there.
I’ve lived in Belgium this year and I have to say this map is in major need of an update x
Cannot help as I won’t be here…
I’ll arrive to Brussels on sunday I will be there for 6 months. At the moment i am living in Stockholm. I need things to do and nice people to meet!
I just arrived here in Brussels! I need things (and men) to do.
I’m arriving in Brussels tomorrow! Anyone to guide me? :)
– just down the road from la belgica is le baroque where they serve tequila for 2 euros. sometimes 3 on a saturday, according to some.! which means nothing if you’re into vodka…
I’ll be participating in ArtBrussels in April 2012. Any restaurant and bar suggestions appreciated!
thanks for the add on the map of Genres d’à Côté! We are organising the 10th Pink Screens Film Festival at Cinema Nova from 10 to 19 Nov. 2011!
Flemish is a dialect of Dutch !
Flemish an official language?
Ha ha
I do agree with Thomas, actually Le Belgica is ONE of the greatest gay bars in Brussels. You shouldn’t miss it!!
Great idea, Daniel!
Ciao
