This fantastic bar is the real deal. Unlike bars in the rainbow cluster a few blocks away, this bar isn’t trying to be trendy or to mimic American bars. If someone took a blindfold off you in here, not only would you know you’d been delivered to Europe, you might thing you’d been delivered to the 19^th Century. Gregorian chant sheet music as lampshades, plush velvet curtains, diamond-pane windows and dark wood paneling. This is what European-style pubs (whether Irish or English) in the U.S. are trying to be. The owner is really friendly to all who enter (alarming rare in Belgium) and the music is great. The crowd are the most unpretentious fun lively folk anywhere in Belgium. Start here, then try the others if you must. But you’ll be back. One visit to Brussels and La Reserve will feel like your lifelong favorite casual hang-out.

Think the Queen Vic in Eastenders except instead of Peggy there are bears lots and lots of hairy bears with check shirts. Red carpet, stained glassed windows.
I am not a bear. I am moderately hairy in a normal woman amount. I do have a plaid shirt but I didn’t bring it with me that night, I actually was wearing a Unilocal onesie but that’s a whole different story.
The music was fantastic in there and the selection of beer was great. Above all the men were so friendly, it was like having lots of hairy gay Belgian Dads and brothers. They made us feel very welcome and safe and it was our base during our stay there as we didn’t feel very safe in the city.
The loos are nasty and I got a very graphic preposition as I sat on the loo. The request was shouted at me from the other side of the door. I assume he was drunk and thought I was a ladyboy or worse still a bear. I had no means of doing what he wanted to his bottom.
Really loved this bar.

Awesome little bar — directly behind the St Niklaus church (which is also worth seeing, even just to see the BIZARRE crooked nave) — in the middle of bustling Brussels, in between the Grand Place and the Bourse. It’s unassuming from the outside but a cool neighborhood cozy bar inside. Busy every time i have popped in, with a wide range of ages, but tends towards the 30+ crowd. CHEAP drinks which is unusual in that part of town.

Le saviez-vous? C’est le plus vieux bar gay de Bruxelles, à deux pas de la Grand Place !!!
La Réserve est une taverne splendide, on se croirait au Moyen-Âge sauf que la clientèle n’est quand même pas post-néandertalienne ! Les patrons, des américains installés ici depuis fort longtemps, sont charmants. Les prix sont plutôt corrects car une blanche coûte deux euros.
En ce qui concerne la clientèle, des habitués et des touristes en goguette, l’ambiance dépend des soirs, parfois on se croirait à une veillée funèbre, avec les déambulateurs garés devant le bar et certains soirs c’est la folie totale ! Il faut dire que les serveurs, presque tous mignons, s’évertuent à faire bouger tout ce petit monde !
Moi je vous le recommande, rien qu’une fois au moins pour voir ce rainbow monument !
