Tucked away near the fabulous Saint-Gilles Hotel de Ville, this dark wooden bar pulls in beautiful twenty- and thirtysomethings. The concept is simple: good wines (from €3 to €15 a glass) served with mushroomy tapas. With just a dozen or so tables, booking is essential.

For punchy live music try a visit to this steamy bar which boasts excellent blues/ rock music each Sunday night. Mainly catering for students and the younger end of the market, it’s ideal for meeting people in the early hours of the morning.

With 1,000 beers on offer, this tiny spit-and-sawdust bar is for those who want to drink their beer, not pose with it. There are plenty of comic books scattered around, too, if you’re enjoying a beer alone.

Busy bar located close to the European Parliament and now in its sixth successful year. Like all bars on this developing square, it has outside seating and serves excellent food (including a popular daily special that wouldn’t be out of place in a good restaurant). O’Farrell’s also offers one of the best pints of Guinness in the city, served by a mixture of Belgian, Irish and British staff – all of whom are friendly.

The Fou is an extremely hip bar/resto where canoodling customers can retreat to comfy sofas at the back for candle-lit snuggles away from prying eyes. Hugely romantic at night and trendily busy by day. Eye-catching art on the walls and multi-lingual newspapers make it easy to pass a stimulating couple of hours, even if you’re alone. Look out for the chandelier made from wine glasses.
