About Chez Maman

Cafe - Drag Shows
Chez Maman stands as one of Brussels' most iconic gay bars, renowned for its vibrant drag shows. Nestled in a cozy, dimly lit space in the city center, it offers an intimate and lively atmosphere that peaks on weekends. The incomparable Maman hosts alongside her cast of fabulous performers, delivering hilarious cabaret acts right on the bar top.
