Post by: ian c on June 24, 2008, 22:32:53 pm the grand place is an amazing square , exquisite architecture ....... stand in the middle and slowly turn 360 :)
then you can go to orielly's for a full fry-up and a few bullmers with ices , or a roast dinner . with a few bulmers on ice . did i mention they sell bullmers and magners ?????? then around the corner is the celtica bar , lots of football on at weekends (during the season) and at night it stays open until morning . the cider there is there own brand and not very good after tasting bulmers , the good thing is you can drink in oriellies for a few hours to deaden your tastebuds :D last time i went on a session in there i satayed all night and fell asleep on the train to antwerp .... ended up in leuven !!! BEWARE !! :D Title: Re: What to do in Brussels?

Can't believe that place is still around. Europe was cool about leaving many of the old skate spots. Unlike here, where they demolished 'em all. Lame.

Looks like an old skateparks that I see pictures of. Nah it's all new, they made a neighbourhood reunion and wondered what to do with that place, and so they made a skatepark out of it pretty cool.. If you wanna drink beer there's always the cafe Belga on Place Flagey, pretty cool spot. Other than that, around the Grand place theres Toon, Le bison, les halles saint Gery, le roi des Belges, le mappa moundo. All great spots to drink beer. there's also the Dieteren museum, it's rue du Mail in Ixelles, a nice collection of old VW, porsches, etc. Around there there's also a lot of bars to drink beer... Maybe i'll think about something more once i sober up tomorrow... Cheers! Title: Re: What to do in Brussels?
