1912
Mirano's story began in 1912 as 'À la Girafe', a lively brasserie and event space at number 38.
In 1931, it was transformed into a cinema, first known as the Casino de Saint-Josse, then renamed Mirano in 1942. The venue was redesigned in the style of the era by architect R. Ajoux, who also left his mark on several other iconic Brussels cinemas.
After a major reconstruction in 1951, Mirano could welcome up to 600 guests across its parterre and balcony, delighting audiences until its final screening in 1978.
1981
Renovated in 1981, the Mirano Continental reopened as a nightclub, quickly becoming one of Brussels' most legendary venues.
Inspired by the spirit of New York's Studio 54, it was among the first clubs in Belgium to embrace house and techno music, shaping the sound of an entire generation.
Over the decades, it attracted iconic DJs and a devoted crowd, cementing its place as a cornerstone of Belgian nightlife..
2019 till now
In 2017, Mirano closed its doors for a full two-year renovation before reopening in 2019 under new Art Blanc management.
Every detail was carefully considered, from the gold and black colour palette to the warm limestone floors and wooden panelling, or the iconic neon lights brought back to life.
A heartfelt tribute to the venue's golden age, now open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
