Rainbow village

Rainbowhouse

The Rainbowhouse Brussels is home to various French and Dutch speaking LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, etc.) associations in the Brussels area. Member associations - also non LBGTQIA - meet there and organise meetings at the bar. They are at your disposal to help you find your way to legal, social, psychological or medical assistance. The RainbowHouse is also a café open in the evening, where LGBTQIA+ people and their friends can receive information, enjoy a warm welcome or simply meet each other. Every Friday, starting at 10pm, the RainbowHouse invites a DJ to make you dance.

The Crazy Circle

The Crazy Circle is a tiny cosy bar located in Ixelles that was taken over in 2019 by Laïla and Axelle, a lesbian couple, with the purpose of transforming it into a lesbian, feminist bar open to the LGBTQI+ community and their allies. The Crazy Circle is a safe space that embraces diversity and a place of expression for women and queer artists. It’s a bar where you can have a beer or a delicious cocktail at a reasonable price and a place where you can have fun: concerts, DJ sets, karaoke, cabaret, comedy shows, board games, table football, etc. The Crazy Circle co-organises many events with LGBTQI+ associations (Rainbowhouse, L-Tour, EGOW, Activ'elles, MATCH, ...) and is the creator of the weekly "Femme Jam" event, the only jam in Brussels with a 100% women's scene.
