I've lived here for 4 years so what do you want to know?
Personally hate fat boys as has no atmostphere. Sorry Sprout.
The Churchill's OK my mate's the manager there a thieving scouser called Eli. Personally for sports I'd go to the Collins Ave Louise , De Valera's in Flagey. or Funky Monkey in Schuman. Collins especially has a nice big terrace to watch the games.
Yes check out Delerium. Beers are great and its off the Grand Place.
Night life on the upper end Jeux D'Hiver but the door is very strict. Even I've been refused...yes can you beleive it.
Go to Bar Marche in Flagey, or Stoeffer (my favourite hang out) in Chatelain
On weds night Chatelain is the place to be. When the weather is good its madly crowded on the street and your head will be turning left right and centre unless your gay.
Lots more just Whomail me
Brussels Sprout is better on the restaurants than me but Le Colonel (Louise) has the best steak I've eaten anywhere.

Has the Brussels Ring changed, Sprouts?
It used to half motorway and half non-motorway.
On the motorway bit, there were proper slip roads and everything, on the non-motorway bit, farmers used to storm on in huge tractors without even looking, expecting everyone to give way to the right.
A bit scary after the (relative) calm of the motorway

Fat Boys by Schuman is a decent alternative to Churchill.
For non-football bars, try Delirium or Au Bon Vieux Temps (they even sell Westvleteren there). Both are near to the Grand Place.

I was just going to recommend the Bibitor restaurant, but went off to find its address.
The fucker's closed.
If you can arrange a time machine, it's worth a visit...

The Manneken Pis is the most ridiculous tourist attraction in the World.

According to Swiss it has the best chips in the world and we won't be able to have them once we leave the EU. So I'd have some of those.

Fucking love the place. Food and beer is great. I watched footy sitting next to Tim Roth in the Churchill pub next to the Royal Opera House.
