Again, on eurodatum.com (Eurodatum, directory of EU links),

there is a section EU Networking where you will find a complete list of Brussels bars/pubs where you can meet eurostagiaires, eurocrates and eurolobbyists! The addresses are there as well.

Typical Brussel/belgian bar near the Grand-Place and the Bourse!!! Entrance is hard to find but it's worth putting some effort if you wanna enjoy a typical brussels brew!! LA BECASSE (alabecasse.com).
Delirium café is also a great place (deliriumcafe.be). They have (almost) everything Belgium makes! Watch out for the prices on Live Music nights... (10% more I think).
Mappa Mundo is also a nice place for later in the night!
For food, go for the neighbourhood between Madou (US Embassy) & Rue Royale! Nice Pasta bars & little restaurants.

Any hard rock/heavy metal scene in brussels?? Bars, discos, shops? Thanks!

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for but La Cercuil bar off Grand Place had that vibe. It's a little bit over the top in terms of goth paraphanalia (e.g. coffins for tables) but good spot and people were a bit of banter! It's on heringstraat (I think!)

Hey Kaly79

In fact there is a heavy metal bar in Brussels CBD called Rock Classic bar, 55 Kolenmarkt .
Last week it had Metallica S&M and Sytem of a Down music....and best of all it closes at 6am!!
