An event venue with a point of view
The Backyard is an event venue in Drogenbos, five minutes from Brussels, for up to 100 guests. The room is 8.5 m × 12 m (about 102 m²) with a real dance floor, professional sound, lighting and a DJ booth, plus two private lounges, a bar and a terrace.
What sets it apart is simple: it already looks like somewhere. A pirate lounge, a wall of African masks, vintage televisions and a bookshelf do half of your decorating before you start — and you are free to do the rest.
