The design blends the building’s history with an intimate atmosphere. The lighting is dim and the noise level is consistently high, creating an energetic environment. Brel features step-free and wheelchair accessibility, plus accessible toilets, welcoming a wide range of visitors. The space can hold up to 350 people and offers a unique sensory experience, most notably with the striking blue doors.
