The Roof by The 1040

The Roof by The 1040 is the only rooftop bar in Brussels' European Quarter, perched on the seventh floor of the Sofitel Brussels Europe hotel at Place Jourdan 1 in Etterbeek. Enveloped in lush greenery and open to the sky, the elegantly designed space is partly covered for year-round use, delivering chic panoramic views over Place Jourdan and the wider Brussels skyline in a setting that feels like a verdant urban oasis. Guests can choose from a menu of refreshing cocktails, wines, and light plates adapted from the hotel's main restaurant kitchen, with weekend DJ sets elevating the atmosphere into a sophisticated summer lounge experience perfect for catching the sunset over the city. Open from May to September, daily from 5 pm to midnight on a walk-in basis, The Roof by The 1040 offers a refined and exclusive counterpoint to the surrounding neighbourhood's European institutional energy.
