4sq SUs BelgiumMay 2, 2016Without a doubt the best known concert hall in Belgium. Located in the historic centre of Brussels, the AB has attracted artists and music fans from around the world since the 1930s.
Sabrina DRFebruary 22, 2017Unique venue with a cosy atmosphere, try standing on the balcony on the first or second floor. There are enough lockers downstairs for your belongings, just rememeber to bring €1.
AB probably is Brussels' most famous music venue, offering concerts by well-known bands and indie artists almost every day. Both the big concert hall and club are nice. Sound quality is always good.
Yordi PeirlinckNovember 16, 2013The Club is a cozy, nice place to feel close to the artist performing there. Drinks are available and the sound is outstanding. Top notch!
Adrian WinnDecember 18, 2016Great venue. Saw Ben Howard here before he was cool in the states. Eagles.
Certainly the best live venue in Brussels. Excellent acoustics, functional for all the needs of a fan, excellent selection of upcoming and already known bands. A must visit!
Invest in AB-coins! Order them online with your tickets and buy them in bulk to get a better deal.
- Great place for concerts and shows in the center of Brussels. Convenient locker room and token machines for the bar.
Best concert venue in Belgium, great line-up, amazing atmosphere and a beautiful building. Love it!
AB really is the best concert venue, amazing sound!- Best academy sites venue in Belgium, no doubt about it. There are lockers downstairs. The machine for drinktokens in the small bar often doesn't work.
It's physically impossible to be a true music lover and not end up at this venue every now and then.
Best concert place in Belgium: excellent acoustics, not too big and in the heart of Brussels.- Probably the best coffee in club land!

Very nice place for cosy gigas. Also the Café/resto a nice place to meet and eat.
Les Auberges de JeunesseNovember 3, 2011The biggest pop/rock names come there for their gigs. Right in the middle of the pub area of Brussels, your night will go on after the show !
Nathan SchellensFebruary 15, 2019Music of course. And they have Havana Club as rum brand. So good!!!
The best place in Belgium for a concert, definitely my favourite- There’s a second BAR lefthand of the stage. There’s a jeton automat also. Usually no long queues here.
The lockers downstairs are 1€, and, mercifully, there's a change machine near the bathrooms. However, they clear the venue immediately after gigs, killing off any hope of fostering a scene...
My favourite concert venue in Belgium - best sound there is and really close to the bands
Brad E.March 25, 2011Best venue in Brussels. Easy to get to with lots of food venues nearby, and walking distance to Grand Place.
3rd best concert venue in the world !! See it here: http://www.ishootshows.com/2011/01/10/top-100-worldwide-club-venues-2010/
