Hello all,
The Classpath FOSDEM page mentions a Friday night gathering of
attendees, requesting that anyone who knows Brussels suggest a place to
meet.
Well, I don't know Brussels, but I do have a book or two on Brussels,
and I know a beer/wine importer or two. :-)
So, I would like to propose two places that we might meet on Friday
night. Both are near Gare Centrale:
A La Mort Subite - 7 rue Montagne aux Herbes Potageres
http://www.alamortsubite.com
Strongly recommended by importers, but also recommended in Fodor's "25
Best" for Brussels. They brew several of their own beers and have
several trappist, abbey, and other Belgian beers on tap and in the
bottle. Their website mentions that they serve sandwiches and omelets,
but does not list a menu. Almost equidistant from Gare Centrale and
DeBrouckere metro stops.
Le Bier Circus - 57 rue de l’Enseignement
http://www.biercircus.be
Recommended by beer snobs around the globe. Their web page has a large
list of the beers they sell (including vintage beers). They also carry
wine and have a decent looking menu (all on their website). Down the
road from the Cirque Royale (which is at #81).
Any other ideas/opinions?
Keith
