What makes Chez Maman special
At Chez Maman the drag queens stand right on the bar; the room is small and fills up quickly at weekends. You knock on the door and the doorman decides. No drinks are served during the shows. Guests describe the crowd as exuberant.
Shows
The shows run throughout the night on Fridays and Saturdays. No programme is published; if you come later, you often have to wait.
A good fit if you …
- want to see drag up close
- are out late at the weekend
Not ideal if you …
- are looking for space and quiet
- are in Brussels during the week
