What time do bars close in Brussels? I am trying to find some good clubs that stay open until 6:00 AM because I keep missing out on the fun - I feel like I am looking in the wrong places!

No single rule for the whole city ... depends on the area. In the Northern Quarter like Schaerbeek or Saint-Josse they have to close between 01:00 and 06:00, but most clubs stay open until 6:00 AM or even later on weekends. I've noticed more places turning into pizza or burger shops lately because the margins are so low now.

Depends a lot on what u look for ! I have seen nights that last way longer than people expect , especially on the weekends

I read that those 'rules' in the Northern Quarter might actually make things worse for sex workers by increasing violence. Very 'complicated' situation for the neighborhood

REALITY_CHECK

The tax man is sooo strict now. I think all that VAT enforcement is why so many old bars are closing down instead of just staying open
