I am not the type of person to leave negative comments. But this time I just need to warn people who want to spend a good night. La Machine has been me and my friends’ favourite bar for some time now, until today. Trust me I know how hard and nerve-wrecking working night life could get. I’ve been there, so i never expect a smiling face. I know how tired it gets for the employees. It’s okay if you don’t smile or barely communicate with me. I get that. But I can never tolerate disrespect since it is the base of living in a society. I try not to disrespect anyone and I expect them to do the same, especially in the service industry. Tonight I went there with my mom, ordered 2 bottle of beers from the QR code and started waiting. We waited around 15 minutes but the website said my order was waiting to be confirmed so I thought maybe the system was not working and I had to order from the bar. I saw the waiter cleaning the tables so I didn’t want to bother him while his hands were full of bottles cause I also know it is not an easy task to do. I waited for the right time to approach him. While he just started cleaning a table I went up to him and said “Sorry” and he just repeated “J’arrive” in French a few times interrupting me. I then said “No, i just wanted to ask I put up an order but maybe it didn’t go through” and he answered “I know that’s why I said I’m coming” in the rudest way possible. I felt so belittled by his attitude and words. I understand French a bit but I could be a person that doesn’t so why would you get angry if i didn’t understand what you meant?He might be having a rough day, nevertheless that is never the way to communicate with a person, most particularly a guest. I felt so disrespected and angry and just took my mom to another bar that was just on the opposite direction. I could see that those servers were also very tired and sleepy but they did treat us like guests. As I mentioned before, I don’t expect smiling faces but I can never tolerate that type of disrespectful behaviour. I am not planning to go...

Super bar! Très bonne ambiance, de la bonne musique et diffents étages pour différentes ambiances (allez donc voir le bar au-1 quand il est ouvert... Cosi et moins connu !) mais je dirais que son plus grand point fort de situe au niveau de la qualité de ses cocktails ! Profitez du spectacle du côté du bar pour constater la Maestra de chacun(e) des barman et des barmaid. Du vrai travail professionnel à un prix accessible pourtant !

Un remerciement tout particulier à Léa qui nous fait à chaque fois des Amareto Sour exceptionnels (vive le sucre ahah xD).

Je recommande très vivement ce bar et en tant que Bruxellois, c'est l'un des premier endroit auquel je pense pour passer un soir avec des amis venus d'ailleurs.

Et si vous pouvez aller le visiter lors de ses Happy Hour... Alors là je ne reponds plus de rien et surtout pas de votre sobriétée ! 😁

Merci la Machine pour toutes ces soirées !

Amicalement, Raphaël Hacha.

EDIT 1 (11/10/2022) : Après des événement récents, je me dois de changer ma note de 5/5 vers 1/5. Et cela malgré le fait qu'à force je sois devenu un habitué de ce bar et que je ramène régulièrement amis et connaissances professionnels pour m'y amuser et boir de bon cocktails...

Ce bar reste l'un des meilleures de Bruxelles certes, néanmoins, j'avourais que ne le recommande pas du tout en après-midi pour les Happy Hour ou autre... Il arrive très régulièrement (et ce n'est pas de leur faute, je le repète, mais d'une façon à chercher de la rentabilité gérant),qu'il y a un seul barman / Barmaid sur pond entre 14h et 18h... Cela mets énormément de pression sur les Barmans... Qui finissent malheureusement par "déraper" parfois... Même en soirée... Je me mets à leur place, la vie de barman est difficile et je comprends.

Encore une fois. Je suis triste de la mauvaise gestion du gérant qui perd les meilleurs barmans / Barmaid qu'il possède pour les remplacer par des nouveaux dès que les anciens semblent "fatigués" de la situation et s'en vont...

Dans ces conditions, je ne peux pas donner plus de 1/5. Malgré la qualité des cocktails. Je recommande de venir en soirée après 19h... Jamais en après-midi, et surtout si vous venez dans ces timing là, ne demandez jamais un Bloody Mary, Planteur Punch ou Amrato Sour en après-midi si le barman est seul ... Si vous avez un peu de bienveillance pour le barman seul à gérer et le service en salle et les cockails... En vrai... Ne prenez aucun cockaitls... Juste des bières c'est bien...

Autre point, à savoir, le Wi-Fi est disfonctionnel depuis plusieurs mois ce qui force à se connecter à un WiFi d'un bar proche comme celui du Mappa Mundo. Ça aussi c'est dommage.

Et il n'y a pas de caméras partout dans le bar... Je me suis fait agresser dans le bar à l'étage -1 dont je ventais les mérite dans mon premier avis pourtant... Dommage..

EDIT 2 ( 01/11/22 ) : Finalement, après quelques discussions, c'était un mauvais jour pour la barmaid qui n'était pas encore assez expérimentée. Je remonte la note à 4/5. Un excellent établissement, mais il y a quelques progrès possibles.

Les nouvelles recrues barmans sont au top. Big up justement à Vincent dont l'expérience transpire dans ses cockails ! Essayez son Clover Club ou...

The decor is lovely, the music is great, the drinks are good, the fearless hour is very nice.

However, the service is, honestly, a disaster. We waited for our drinks for around 30 minutes (there were 7 of us, I honestly don't think it's that unmanagable, and the place wasn't full..). They messed up our order, we were told that the mess up is our fault cause we shouldn't have ordered separately but instead use just one phone to order all our drinks (we would have done that, but nobody told us when we arrived and we were only told after we've ordered!). Honestly, if the ordering system causes that much delay and problems, why even use it?

We would appreciate being able to pay separately, it honestly isn't that hard to go that extra mile and facilitate that. Especially considering that some waiters said that it was not a problem and others were adamant that it was not possible.

Seriously, the chaotic and impolite service isn't worth what would otherwise be a...

Great spot with a cool, laid-back vibe and stylish interior. The beer selection is impressive, especially if you're into local brews. Also variety of drinks, cocktails etc. I asked the staff for a recommendation and ended up with a fruity IPA-style beer called “juice junky” – super tasty and refreshing. The team was really friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Outdoor seating is limited, so try to grab a table early if the weather’s nice.

Chill, laid-back, steampunk-themed bar with a warm atmosphere and good service. They have a great selection of Belgian beers, including some fruit ones if you're looking to try something sweeter. There was a bodypainting exhibition going on in the back of the bar, so I'm guessing there are regular cultural/arty events. A cool place to hang out and catch up with a friend.

Extremely brave design, unique atmosphere. Steam punk at its best. Prices are slightly below average for the neighborhood. Nice and quiet in the afternoons, vibrant and loud at night.
