The Crazy Circle
The Crazy Circle is a tiny cosy bar located in Ixelles that was taken over in 2019 by Laïla and Axelle, a lesbian couple, with the purpose of transforming it into a lesbian, feminist bar open to the LGBTQI+ community and their allies.
The Crazy Circle is a safe space that embraces diversity and a place of expression for women and queer artists. It’s a bar where you can have a beer or a delicious cocktail at a reasonable price and a place where you can have fun: concerts, DJ sets, karaoke, cabaret, comedy shows, board games, table football, etc.
The Crazy Circle co-organises many events with LGBTQI+ associations (Rainbowhouse, L-Tour, EGOW, Activ'elles, MATCH, ...) and is the creator of the weekly "Femme Jam" event, the only jam in Brussels with a 100% women's scene.

Caveau du Max
The formula is simple and effective. You arrive around 19:30. You take the small staircase that leads you into an intimate, cozy room where you'll enjoy excellent food that is served at the long table, and around 8:30 pm the concert begins. You'll understand that the 55 places are quickly taken. It would be a pity to deprive yourself of the bargain when you know that you'll be listening to great jazzmen in excellent conditions !
Reservations required, only by phone during restaurant hours.
