The place to be and other Mons, Belgium Nightlife Tips

Nightlife Spot: Marché aux Herbes

The "Marché aux Herbes" is a place known by every inhabitant of Mons. This is the place where the nightlife happens. Lots of pubs are situated around this rectangular square. Especially on Thursday, it can be pretty crowdy with all the students hanging around. During weekend you can find more local people. The "Marché aux Herbes" is the centre of the Doudou festivities (see local customs)

Nightlife Spot: Le Chin Chin

You know how you get into the cellar of Chin Chin, but God knows how you'll get out of it!
Once you entered this old, medieval pub and once you tasted the liquor with the same name as the café, you are ready for one hell of a night!
Be careful when entering the cellar, some steep steps. Very cosy atmosphere, but very smoky.

" Le Chin Chin" is especially crowdy during the Doudou festivities (see local customs)

Nightlife Spot: Cubar

The Cubar is a nice place to start your evening. As the name tells you, the place has a lot of links with Cuba and wants to bring some Cuban atmosphere in Mons. It's situated in a cellar. The interior is quite nice (photo of Che, publicity for Bodeguita del Medio, salsa music, ...), but the plastic benches are ruining it a bit. On the menu: cocktails, rum, cigars, ... A bit expensive and the quality of the cocktails are average.

Nightlife Spot: El Fachawi

Hey, this is new and I like it! A Moroccan teahouse and chicha place! Original, especially for Mons! The interior, staff and music are Moroccan so no problem imagining yourself in this place of the world. On the menu: mint tea (which is delicious), coffee and all sort of juices. No alcohol of course. If you're into it, you can smoke a chicha with apple, strawberry or some other flavours. Mint tea for two costs 4,50 euro and a chicha 7 euro. Not expensive. Great place to spend some quality time with friends!
