Typical of the new array of hip but relaxed Brussels bars, BarBeton has a tiled floor and unpolished wood furnishings. It's good for an early breakfast, and there's a lavish €15 brunch on Sunday. Cocktail happy hour is 7pm to 8pm Thursday, there's an aperitivo buffet from 6pm to 8pm Friday, and DJs play from 10pm till late on Saturday.
