Our Take

Ixelles' Modern Cocktail Specialist

The Blackmore is a small cocktail bar in Ixelles with a serious modern cocktail programme. The room is dim and intentional — leather banquettes, a polished bar, around 30 seats — and the cocktail menu rotates seasonally.

The drinks are technically precise. The bartenders explain each cocktail's basis and the seasonal menu adds thoughtful originals using Belgian ingredients — local Genever, regional herbal liqueurs, Belgian Lambic in modern builds.

The crowd is mid-thirties Ixelles professionals and visiting cocktail enthusiasts. Pair with Le Coq for a complete Brussels modern cocktail evening.
