L'Archiduc Bar Brussels
This bar in the rue Antoine-Dansaert, within the fashion and designer district, is a legendary place in in 1937 by Madam Alice as a risqué boudoir called Amour, it was then taken over by the jazzman Stan Brenders in 1953 and went on to become a jazz landmark in Brussels. Jacques Brel, Jimmy Smith, Nat King Cole and many others have played here. You can still listen to jazz here whilst sipping a cocktail. The cosy decor and filtered lighting encourage patrons to settle down in small Art Deco armchairs and sip on piscosour (house speciality made with pisco, a Chilian alcohol, lemon and sugar) or one of the many whiskies or bourbons. There are live concerts every Monday, at 11pm in the summer, and Saturdays and Sundays at 5pm from September to April. L’Archiduc is the place for night owls since it’s not unusual for the place to close at dawn.
