Ah Brussels. So much I can say about this amazingly confusing city. It's a patchwork of different cultures, with many districts completely Middle Eastern/North African, and others being nearly all students. The bulk of the EU institutions are located in this city, which gives reason for everyone in Europe to loathe the idea of "Brussels".
However, Brussels does have a lot to offer when it comes to nightlife. I'm not much of a daygamer, and I have noticed women in Brussels tend to stay in groups during the day due to the large number of immigrants/beggars. However, in the more affluent districts, this is less so. So for the length of this post, I'm going to focus on the different districts and how the nightlife is in each of them.
Quick Belgium Overview
Belgium may be the strangest country you ever visit. It is also possibly the most polarized country you'll ever visit. Even so, the country itself is extremely small (borders are about 4hrs apart by car from France to the Netherlands). English is heavily spoken, not because of the EU, but because of the Wallonians (French Speakers) and the Flemish (Dutch) don't want to learn each other's languages.
The Flemish are indeed much more well off than the Wallonians, which leads to even more disdain. Wallonia may be the worst shithole in Western Europe, save for Liège. Charleroi doesn't even have any hostels, possibly because it's so dégueulasse.
Anyway, Brussels is where this all meets. As mentioned, the European Union is also located in this city, which means many students journey here to find internships. There are also a good amount of universities located in this city, Vrije Universite Brussel (Université Libre Bruxelles) being the largest. There are also a few districts you should avoid, which I'll go over later. A city of this magnitude deserves a lot of information.
Language
Don't be confused by geography, this is a French speaking enclave surrounded by Dutch speakers. You should always distinguish between Bruxellois and Wallons when you're asking a girl, as they're completely different geographic entities. Sometimes, the girl will be from France. This is way too common also.
If you know a bit of French (vous parlez l'anglais? et j'aimerais des frites avec andalouse-absolument requis), you should be fine.
Everyone speaks English because they need to communicate with other Belgians from the two different regions. In truth, you won't meet that many Dutch speaking girls in Brussels, as they gravitate towards Antwerpen. Most of the people you meet will be French speaking.
Districts and Lodging
I've been to Brussels three times, the first time many, many years ago as a student, the second as a visitor, and the third to visit friends. The first two times I stayed at Hotel Meininger, which is probably the best located hotel you'll be able to find. Don't worry, it's a hostel which is named as a hotel, so it's relatively cheap. It has a built-in bar, which is great if you want to meet other travelers. It's very close to the inner city, which is where many of the bars are located. Just a word of warning, however, as the hotel is located on the outskirts of what some would consider a disgusting ghetto. Molenbeek may be the terrorist breeding hotspot of Western Europe. Even in Paris, I never saw that many people of the same geographic location located in the same place. Stay out of Molenbeek if you're drunk especially, which happens quite often in Brussels.
The second and third time I lodged via AirBnB, which allows for staying in much more well-off places, named Etterbeek and Ixelles. They're slightly further from the center, but they have lively student life. Here's an easy go-to list whenever you visit Brussels.
Districts to visit:
Grand Place, City Center: has the most touristy vibe, but the reason why most people visit this place, along with the highest concentration of bars
Ixelles: Vibrant student life and high concentration of young people
Etterbeek: ^^
Saint Gilles: Close to the Bruxelles Midi train station, also high concentration of students
Anderlecht: Never been, but heard it's relatively decent and upscale the farther out you go
Districts to avoid:
Schaerbeek: Seedy as shit. Where the pros are. Also a very, very high concentration of Muslim immigrants so there's really no fun to be had here unless you want P4P.
Molenbeek: As previously mentioned, holy shit this place is bad if you're a white person, a lot of stares. It seems like it should be a district in Algiers or Rabat, not Brussels.
Nightlife
Brussels may be the drunkest city you'll ever visit. At any given moment, you'll see professionals at bars during lunch drinking their daily Duvel or Affligem. And they have great ideas. The beer is insanely good. If you were to visit Belgium, this would be the reason.
Just to give you all a heads-up, most of the girls you meet out are foreigners who are visiting this city, and are transient much like yourself. You'll talk to some college-age students, but they are also likely from outside of the city. It's hard to find des filles Bruxellois.
Now, I'll go over two of the most popular bars/clubs.
Delirium
Don't even know what the fuck to call this place. Maybe I'll just call it a clusterfuck. Truly one of the most insane bars I've ever been to. On a busy night, it packs in probably a thousand people. It also has about 2000 different types of beers, which gives you a reason to go by itself. I loved it there, and I found it relatively easy to talk to girls also. It's very well known, so you'll get a lot of tourists also. The logistics of the place are great, as there are 5 different bars, one of which being an absinthe bar. I've seen too much funny shit happen there, between fights in all French and vomiting.
It's the place to go crazy, and perhaps pick up girls.
Celtica
A little less on the touristy side. Thursday nights are student nights where you'll be able to meet all the students from the Brussels universities. There's a huge dancefloor, and there always was a ton of girls there. I take a page out of the Gmanifesto playbook and always smoke outside with girls, which is very welcome in Belgium. Cigarettes are cheap as shit, along with the beer.
I pulled from here once, with my limited knowledge of French as the girl didn't speak English, which was a serious shocker to me. She was the exception, not the norm.
Personal Thoughts
Brussels may be one of the most interesting cities you'll ever visit. I'm not speaking of seeing the sights, but talking to the people. The Belgians are very interesting people, and they'll talk and talk and talk about how their country is broken. They'll also drink you under the table.
If you all do end up visiting Brussels, don't do it for the girls. I did pull there, but it is by no means a poosy paradise. It's a fun city with a lot of flair, and you'll make a lot of friends there and have some of the most interesting times of your life. In terms of the touristy sights, there's not much here to see, but the people make it well worth the trip.
Brussels is the place where you can relive college, in a city. And truly, nobody gives a shit, as everyone does it. Belgian beer does these things to people.
If you have any questions, I know a lot about this city so feel free.

). Les Halles St-Gery is a cool area where you can bounce from bar to bar and daygame/evening game girls walking.
