High class night club in a church. Dress nicely to make it inside , preferably no sneakers or jeans for guys. Be ready to be surrounded by young expats who think they're more important than anybody else. However, it is really an impressive club.

Known as one of the best techno clubs in Europe. I have friends from Paris and Barcelona who come all the way to Brussels to mix or party here. Not so impressive inside but they can have amazing headlines.
