Great cruising bar (with great DJs on many evenings) for spending the night in Brussels - also good on their Sunday afternoon parties (with clothes off)

They have accountable people inside. To go in someone has to go out. I understand they cant have everyone in and it was crowded. There s a dark room quite okay. Bar is busy u may jump if u short like me.

As a first-time visitor to both Brussels and Stammbar, I was deeply disappointed by my experience. After purchasing three drinks, I simply requested a glass of tap water, which is a basic human right, especially in a public space where customers are already spending money. To my shock, I was denied this simple request.Instead, I had no choice but to go to the toilets and drink water directly from the tap there, which was utterly humiliating and unacceptable. It’s astounding that in 2025, a bar would refuse a customer something as basic as water—something that should be freely available, particularly when I was already a paying customer.This treatment left me so appalled that I chose not to buy any further drinks and ultimately left the venue. Denying customers access to water not only shows a lack of basic hospitality but also reflects poorly on the establishment’s values. I came to Stammbar to enjoy the night, but this experience had the opposite effect, and I left feeling disrespected and unwelcome.I sincerely hope the management reevaluates their policies on tap water, as I will not be returning unless this changes. It’s hard to imagine why any bar would want to deny such a basic necessity to their patrons.

Went to this cruising bar for naked Sunday and it was absolutelly great ! The stuff are very friendly ,the people and the atmosphere are very welcoming. Entrance is 5 euro and a small beer is less than 3 euros, a bargain for a sweaty Sunday in this amazing cruising bar. Thank you very much!

For all those who might come here after seeing old recommendations online, it is important to note that this is NOT anymore a man’s only club. There is still a dark room but the club changed policy and now lets anyone inside, including women. Since there are no separate doors to darkroom, anyone can come inside. Needless to say, this is a big no-no for many men so take this into account.

It is a gay bar with a darkroom. You can just drink and enjoy watching hot guys or you can go to the darkroom and have some fun.

Good music, decent drinks with a lot of cute boys. We were here last May of this year having a great time until one of their employees came to me, grabbed my phone and deleted the selfie I took (AT THE BAR not in the dark room) because according to him, we can not take pictures inside the club. I wouldn’t have done it if there was a sign at the door saying it’s prohibited, but there was none.Grabbing someone’s phone especially without a permission is straight up rude and can instigate a fight. But that employee (an African decent and a person of color) was clearly unethical and needs to work on his customer service. He could’ve asked me instead of snatching my phone from my hand.

There's a reason people come back to this place.The laid back atmosphere of the place makes it one where people can feel at ease whatever they are.Kudos to the dj's that light up the place from time to time.Oh, and the staff is so amazing I ended up going on vacation with one of them...
