    Hi! I've been planning to make a Brussels bar guide too, but maybe I should give up and just direct to yours! One update though - Pablo disco bar is no more. Shame cos the atmosphere was quite unique.

    Amazing list of bars ! I also like "Mezzo" in St-Géry, "Canoe Qebrada" (tiny Brazilian café with a boat-shaped bar) in front of Pablo Disco Bar and more ... ;-)

    Interesting view of Brussels but you sound slightly too scary with your warning tip, I would have located the highest crime rate in Belgium in Charleroi ;-)
