Best nightclubs Belgium

The H 2 O is the discotheque not to be missed if you pass the French-Belgian border! For years Muriel and his daughter Rylia have been looking after you to spend unforgettable nights in a cosmopolitan place with two halls where the watchwords are diversity and openness to all trends. On Friday the "white room" greets electro-ready with Fred Hush and Beat Ben, while the "hand room" is designed for pure techno addicts, mixed with Ghost and Danny C. both rooms are still crowded. Saturday is more the fashion with a more mature clientele where everything seems to be allowed. The "hand room" is worn on the electro and the house of Chris with the players while the "white room" develops a happier style with the funky-house sounds of Johan and Cimaï. Always at the tip of musical trends, in an atmosphere of madness midway between the gentle decadence and chic class, with a motivated staff, the H 2 O remains one of the pillars of a successful night of clubbing around Lille (barely 20 min). In addition to the evenings with DJ's residents, many international DJ's are regularly invited to the most original themes. A significant and significant feature all year round: a drink of alcohol purchased, a drink of alcohol offered! Only negative aspect: a little too dark in the "hand room" can rebuter some.

Open only on Saturday, the club that will celebrate its four years this year has been searching for a long time between changes and changes of DJ dj. However, for almost a year now, this place seems to have truly found its way and position itself as one of the border clubs with which we have to rely. Sometimes the same way as H 2 O (perhaps its main handicap), the club lets the night-owls wiggle on funky, house and electro rhythmic fantasies of the two halls of the establishment. The servers and waitresses ultras, in agreement with the clientele, put the atmosphere right, accompanied by dancers who came to present their? choreography. Positive point: The decoration, refurbished at the beginning of the year, is absolutely magnificent: class and sterilized, it fluctuates between blue, white and purple for a clinquante atmosphere. To convince the clients of the beauty of his club, the boss is still abusing too much of the light games for such a place.

Le Claridge is a historic venue located in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. This 600m² space, restored and equipped with the latest technology, offers a wide range of possibilities for organizing unforgettable events in Brussels. Whether for corporate events, conferences, gala dinners, receptions or concerts, the Claridge is ideally located in the heart of the European capital, just 150m from the Madou metro station. What's more, its easy access to the ring road and airport, as well as its proximity to a parking lot, make it a convenient location for visitors. With its unique renovated "Art Deco" style and state-of-the-art technology including an LED screen, wall-mounted projectors and video mixer, the Claridge offers an exceptional experience to its guests.

Brussels offers a unique experience with the Ric's River Boat and Ric's Art Boat. Anchored along the canal near Tours & Taxis, these two event boats have become emblematic landmarks of the city. Ric's River Boat, built in 1900 and formerly owned by the Royal Netherlands Navy, offers an exotic interior for elegant parties, weddings or themed anniversaries. It can accommodate up to 100 seated and 170 standing guests. Ric's Art Boat, meanwhile, offers a more basic look and is ideal for young, casual events such as concerts or exhibitions. Both barges also host artistic gatherings, shows and themed evenings. In addition to their diverse program, they can also be rented out for special occasions. 12 in Brussels, they are easily accessible and have been an institution in the city for over 35 years.

Gay disco present for 30 years in Ghent, always with the same bosses. An institution!

Hidden in the bowels of the Galeries Louise, Bloody has made a name for itself in the few years it has been in existence. Its niche is not electronic music (although it is) but urban music (hip-hop, RnB, etc.), the dominant musical trend in this third decade of the 21st century. This is the place to go to discover emerging artists but also confirmed artists, even huge stars like Drake, Damso, Migos, Major Lazer, etc. who have already played there or organized an after party. In short, a reference in the genre.

Since the 1980's, and always under the same owner, the Belgica has been the atmosphere of Brussels' gay district. Under its old café look, it is in fact a disco bar where the public, mostly gay but not only, comes to get into the mood to the sounds of the DJ of the evening, often before going elsewhere later. Convivial, warm and overheated when it's busy, you can't miss the house speciality, the... Belgica, a lemon drink served semi-glazed. It puts the spirits back in place to continue the party!

The cinema complex where it is housed no doubt inspired the name of this pool hall. Pool Fiction, an obvious reference to Quentin Tarantino's feature film. Billiards, karaoke or bar, there is something for everyone. In family or in groups of friends, the place is ideal to prolong the evening after a film. The atmosphere is generally very good and occasional or recurring promotions keep aficionados coming back. Like the billiards at only 5 € per hour every Monday. Other promotions are aimed at the price of beer or alcohol on certain days.

The legendary club of the 1980s, this beautiful venue shining brightly is back on the city's nightlife scene. The Mirano reopened in 2019 after a delicate renovation, the building being listed. Like a phoenix, it also survived closure in 2020 and 2021. According to the intentions of owner Jérôme Blanchard, urban and electro nights are on Fridays and hip-hop on Saturdays, but this is not exclusive. It's best to check the agenda, and above all, don't miss out on the pleasure of returning to this legendary Brussels night spot!

Who would have thought it? A club has been set up in Boitsfort! Called La Cabane, this club is indeed a large wooden structure divided into 3 spaces: an intimate bar, a bohemian style terrace to take the fresh air and of course, a clubbing space with a capacity of 300 people. A human-sized club for Belgian standards. The light effects were designed by the Parisians of AC3 Studio. The ceiling is covered with suspended pieces of wood that reflect the light. Original as hell. On the music side, it is techno which has the preferences of the house.

Le You is dead, long live Volt! With a facelift, this mythical club rises from the ashes with more sophistication (including a magnificent backlit bar), more inclusivity, and a more urban program. Volt targets a young, open-minded audience. On Fridays, the club is open for its "Chez Ginette" evenings (no-holds-barred, more commercial music), while on Sundays, "La Flash" evenings are for the gay and gay-friendly community. In short, Volt is a club for everyone, as long as they like a good sound.

Another place to be for trendy night owls. Art galleries, regular live concerts, bars, dance clubs... This is where the block party is held with an outdoor extension. This club at the bar-aquarium is housed in an ultra-designed medieval cellar. In a subdued atmosphere, we dance all night long to the rhythms of the DJ's sounds or jams and colourful cocktail rounds. Staged as a pink lounge, we see white cat-shaped lamps that dimly illuminate the nooks and crannies and the bar. The den of Ghent's golden youth.

Every two months, the Velvet Sixty Nine parties welcome girls who like girls and want to party. It's nothing less than the biggest party dedicated to women in Belgium. After the long break due to the health crisis, Velvet is back this year in a mythical venue: the Claridge (opposite the less mythical Mirano). On the menu: excellent DJ's, and fun! To extend the experience, Velvet is exported to Ibiza for a few days each year for the same concept, but under the sun!
