Bartenders know their beers and they are all Belgian beers, so you know they are good. Staff is well versed in what beer goes well with what food. But drinking is the name of the game in this place. | | weihenweizen (57), West Virginia | | December 11, 2011
Ambiance is medium size bar that leads to a sitting area, reminds me of a college bar (a little run down). Clientele college age. Busy on a Saturday night. Beer was served in proper glassware (Corsondonk Brown in tulip and Lindemans Framboise in Flute). Bartenders were fun and knowledgeable. Good selection of Belgian style beer. | | Sammy (398), Toronto, Ontario | | March 3, 2011
Charming moderate sized European style restaurant and bar in midtown. Smallish but acceptable sized bar at lunchtime, it was not too crowded. What brought me here was the Ommegang cuvee house beer, and I am glad it did. There are a moderate amount of taps and bottles, with a pure Belgium theme. | | kopher (11), New York | | January 1, 2011
This place isn’t bad. Broad selection of Belgian stuff, though it doesn’t rotate very often. Foods good too. Expensive though. | | Leafs93 (62), Conshohocken, Pennsylvania | | December 19, 2010
I was impressed with BXL, I was surprised we were able to walk in and grab two seats at ther bar. Food looked good but we did not try any. Great belgian beer selection on tap and in bottle, however it is not to adventureous. Bartenders were quick and efficent. I will be back | Fabriceprince (3), New York

Went here after Heartland (Times Square) and before HB Burger (which is in between the two, all three in a row) to hit three places right next to each other. The tap list and bottle list were not amazing, but they are the only place you can get the Ommegang Cuvee BXL that is made just for them apparently. It’s a decent enough beer, so possibly worth the stop if you’re in the area. My server was quite friendly and in spite of a modest lunch time crowd took time to chat with me about beers, Belgium, and the upcoming Belgium Comes To Cooperstown that he mournfully said he was unable to attend this year. Opted for the cheese croquettes as a light snack and they were quite good. The rest of the menu looked decent, albeit a touch on the pricey side, but you’re in Times Square, so it’s sort of expected. Beer prices again, a little high, but due to location I’d assume. Nice ambiance, clean and well lit, and a very open feel for a smaller place. | | BeerBelcher (134), Columbus, Ohio | | November 16, 2009
I visited BXL because I was looking for a beer-focused place that wasn’t too far from my hotel (it had been a long day). And what I found was an OK place - with a few interesting taps and pretty underwhelming food. I was grateful it was convenient to me, but once there, I wished I’d gone someplace better.
The bar was busy with tourists and regulars. Tap selection was OK - most of the crowd was drinking Stella. I had a Duvel draft and a Steenbrugge tripel...both were OK but not great. I had the onglet echalotte (hanger steak in wine/shallot sauce) with frites. The frites were a shade disappointing, and the meat was fatty and tough. The sauce was good though.
Service was a little inattentive. If I had the evening to do again, I would’ve walked a little further, or chosen a less beer-focused place with better food. | | CUJO (19), Brooklyn, New York | | June 24, 2009
Been here many times, never remember walking out the door! The selection is good, not great. The service is about the same. The food is awesome, bukctes of mussels go great with brews. It is however, expensive! |
