Ancienne Belgique (AB)

AB, the Ancienne Belgique, is the concert hall on Boulevard Anspach, with a main hall and a smaller room, the AB Club. The programme runs from indie and rock to jazz and club-adjacent bookings, and AB also promotes shows at other venues around town.

For a normal concert, doors open around 19:00 and the music ends by 22:30, which leaves the rest of the night for a bar or a club. There is no minimum age, but under-16s need an adult, and no alcohol is served under 16 or spirits under 18. Drinks run on tokens, and cashless lockers cost €3 to €8. Not for you if you want to dance until dawn: it is a gig, then go elsewhere.
