Bruxelles in Dublin City was originally known as The Grafton Mooney, part of the Mooney chain of Victorian pubs from 1886 to 1973.
Since those early days Bruxelles has become synonymous with the new Dublin music scene.
Bruxelles played such a huge part in the birth of the Irish music scene. From Skid Row to Thin Lizzy, this became their second home around the late 1960s to the early 1970s. When the bar extended into what is now The Flanders bar, its part in the lore of Irish rock was established.
Bruxelles has three bars under one roof, the Saloon Bar, the Zodiac Bar and the Flanders Bar. It is a sports bar and a music bar, with DJs in three bars and regular live music. If you don’t have a ticket for the big game see it in Bruxelles.
It has terrace banter, cold beer and cosy surroundings.
Sit in the Saloon Bar and absorb the atmosphere or watch the lively street scene pass by outside Bruxelles. It serves an all day menu and is a popular place to meet for lunch. Don't forget to try their signature oysters, chicken wings or Smithwick's beer battered fresh cod.
Bruxelles is a cosmopolitan pub. It is all about its customers, feeding them, entertaining them but above all, making them feel welcome.
