Situated in the heart of Brussels, just steps away from the renowned Charcoal Market Street, there’s an LGBTQIA+ bar that consistently draws a vibrant crowd on Friday and Saturday nights: The Agenda. In the span of a year, this bar has become an essential reference point for the Queer community, offering a dynamic space where patrons can enjoy cocktails, dance to the beats of pop icons, witness drag shows, participate in entertaining activities like blind tests and drag-hosted bingos, and catch cult-favorite shows like Drag Race Belgium or Eurovision.
While The Agenda proudly embraces inclusivity, it remains a space created by and for the LGBTQIA+ community. As one regular attests, “For me, as an LGBTQIA+ individual, having a place where we feel comfortable is crucial. When we go out, we don’t want to be judged for how we dress, communicate, or move. We just want to have fun and be with people who understand us.” The Agenda stands as more than just a bar; it’s a haven where diversity is celebrated, and everyone is welcome to revel in a sense of belonging.
