A really cool and lively spot in the center of Brussels. The building itself is beautiful, and inside you’ll find a mix of art, exhibitions, music, and a great atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can just walk in, grab a drink, look at some artwork, and enjoy the vibe. The area around it is full of bars and nice places to hang out, so it’s perfect for an evening stroll.

Loved this place. We wondered here one lunch time and enjoyed a chat with the barman, a beer, a burger and a good look at the free art exhibition.

I liked the decorations inside. There's a gate inside that take you to a part of the ancient city of Brussels. There's a bar for snacks and drinks as well.

Entered Halle’s Saint Gery without knowing what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. This building is now used as an exhibition venue and houses a cafe / bar on the ground floor. Music blasts at a level that some may find just bearable for having normal conversation while others may find it a perfect volume. Regardless the open space gave us a very positive vibe and the menu looked inviting to...
