Personal comments
The bars around "Bourse" area (such as "Mapamundo") in the center of the city are the best. There are no real good night clubs apart from "Who'sWho's", which is near "Grand'Place" and there's "The Fuse" which is alright but not that great. The nightlife is quiet in Brussels, you should go to Antwerp to party! My favourite places were the Irish pubs ("O'Reily's" near the Bourse)
