Best Bars in Marolles, Brussels
Heritage taverns, dive bars, flea-market cafés — Brussels's working-class bar neighbourhood.
Marolles is the historic working-class Brussels — the medieval neighborhood at the foot of the Palace of Justice that was Pieter Bruegel's neighbourhood. The bars are heritage Belgian taverns, flea-market-side cafés, and the city's most under-the-radar dive bars.
