The Flash Bar!
I must have walked past this a few hundred times without noticing it. Indeed, ’tis not an exuberant establishment, but all the same, this morning I was astonished to find myself face to face:
with 
THE FLASH BAR :
I’m sure the old geezer at the door wrote parts of the core flashplayer, and is asking the hesitant youth to recite some obscure low level code in exchange for admission into the bar…
Screw the Old Ship, The Flash bar 
IS HOTT
This epicenter of awesomeness is yours to experience just off Place Stephanie in Brussels :
Since there is no “flash scene” to speak of in Brussels, I propose a monthly “Flash Geek Drinkers Club” meeting. Who’s in?

I’m in! Although I’m not in Brussels, passing up the opportunity to bask in the awesomeness of the Flash Bar would be unforgivable!

I don’t get the joke, but I have been in the Flashbar. Many Brazilians hang out there, since there are many Brazilians in this part of Brussels. Indeed,’tis not an exuberant establishment, but I had a great time and even saw someone get a good ol’ fashioned beat down (at which point the bouncer looked at me, as I was the only other customer in the place and said, in English “I have no problem with you…you are welcome to stay.”) I was happy he said this, since I speak no Portuguese or French and wondered what the h*** had just happened.
Stop in and ask for marcia. Tell her Jason from the USA said Hello. HA!

Jason, I don’t get the joke either, but I’m glad you’ve shared your experience and thus validated the ‘flash bars’ candidacy as the central hub of awesome nightlife! Or Daylife! I can hardly control my urge to go meet Marcia and the rest of the Brazilian posse. My friend David is quite the delivery man of beat-downs, so I’m sure we’ll fit right in! Surely Adobes Mojito bar from MIXX was sponsored by Marcia?!

All Right! Many great things start small, I think 2 is a respectable turnout for the first ever flashbar ursergroup meeting!
