La Pharmacie Anglaise
Step into this former apothecary turned cocktail den, where taxidermy and vintage pharmacy bottles set a wonderfully surreal scene. The drinks here are molecular masterpieces, but served without any of the usual mixology pretension. Grab a seat by the velvet drapes and order a smoky mezcal concoction to kick off the evening.

This sleek spot beautifully bridges the gap between East Asian flavors and Brussels' sharp cocktail culture. It is the perfect, unpretentious place to share exceptional dim sum and rich beef pho before the show. The service is brisk enough to keep you on schedule without ever feeling rushed.
Bozar
Tonight’s centerpiece is the sweeping, nostalgic world of Joe Hisaishi’s Studio Ghibli scores, performed live inside Victor Horta’s Art Deco masterpiece. The acoustics in the Henry Le Boeuf Hall are famously warm, making every swell of the orchestra feel incredibly intimate. Sit back and let the childhood nostalgia wash over you.
L'Archiduc
End the night in Brussels' most legendary Art Deco sanctuary, where the spirit of Miles Davis still lingers in the curved booths. Ring the buzzer to enter, order a classic Negroni, and secure a spot on the balcony if you can. It is the ultimate venue to decompress and dissect the concert's best arrangements.
