PROFESSIONAL HORECA
Brussels Bar Connector:
a wonderful adventure coming to an end…
After 16 wonderful years of training sessions, workshops, meetings, and shared experiences, we have decided to bring the activities of Brussels Bar Connector to an end at the close of 2026, so that we may enjoy a well-deserved retirement!
Consequently, we will no longer be scheduling any new training sessions or workshops.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who placed their trust in us and joined us on this journey over the years. It has been a magnificent adventure!
And before we turn the page… welcome to our "Alibaba’s Cave"!
On December 12th and 13th, we are hosting a grand sale of equipment, bottles, furniture, and many other treasures we have collected over the years.
It’s one last chance to come and visit us—and perhaps discover some wonderful finds!
You can find all the practical details on the poster opposite.
