Rue du Marché au Charbon

“One night, I ended up on rue du Marché au Charbon. A Spanish-speaking group caught my attention as they made their way to a Brazilian dance bar. I joined the handsome guy at the back. Little did I know he would be the father of my child.”

Marcia (Portugal) - Legislative officer

Did you know?

In the 1900s, most of Brussels' breweries were concentrated on rue du Marché au Charbon: all 400 of them!
In 2000, however, only one remained: Cantillon brewery. Today, beer culture is back and Brussels has around twenty craft breweries!
