Discover the history behind our special cocktails
Comics and doodling aren't just hobbies at Doodles in Brussels, they're the secret sauce behind our signature cocktails, turning every sip into a comic strip adventure.
Brussels: The Comic Capital Fueling Our Bar
Brussels reigns as Europe's comic capital, with murals everywhere celebrating Belgian icons like Tintin, the Smurfs and Nero. At Doodles, bar supervisor Benjamin Bouvard doodles these vibrant worlds into liquid form, creating cocktails that capture the playful daring of comic characters.
This fusion isn't random, it's a tribute to the city's heritage, where every drink tells a mischievous plot twist. Fans spot nods to Tintin's exotic vibes in Lotus Bloom or the cheeky humor of Prankster Twins, making our bar a must-visit for comic lovers sipping stories.
Doodling: Where Cocktails Are Born
Our cocktails start as doodles in Benjamin's sketchbook, quick sketches of heroes, villains, and wild flavor clashes. This freeform creativity sparks everything from Velvet Paw's fluffy Pisco Sour (inspired by Cubitus the dog) to Smoky Solstice's Negroni twist echoing Nero's dark charm.
Doodling keeps things fun and intuitive: a fluffy paw sketch leads to fat-washed pisco and vanilla syrup; a prankster duo becomes gin with strawberry and grenadine. It's low-pressure brainstorming that ensures bold, personality-packed drinks no recipe book could match.
