On Fridays evening, the Carré in Liège (A few streets in the most ancient part of the city, Rue du Pot d'Or being the main street, and Rue Saint-Jean-en-Isle, Rue des Célestines, Rue d'Amay, being the perpendicular streets) welcomes thousands of drinkers from all over the province, most being students living in the city during the year.
Le Déluge is the perfect place to experiment the true party spirit of the city. Always crowded from midnight until the early hours of the morning, it has a bar and a small dance floor. Lights are somewhat dark. Drinks are cheap (as cheap as 1,60 euros for a 33cl beer and prices starting from 3 euros for spirits) and the party goes on all night. During summer nights, the crowd can even drink on the street in front of the pub. Most people who go to the Deluge are between 18 and 30. People over 30 tend to go to the Cuba Pub or the Tam-Tam (among others) in the same area.
Music is inspired by the current top songs of the moment (English and French songs), and people in an advanced state of ebriation might start dancing on the bar itself.
It is also a popular venue for pre-wedding binge-drinking so do not be surprised to see men dressed into women asking for a few cents to pay for their pre-wedding drinks. There is always something up and everyone is into the fun. If you are alone, someone will come and cheer you up, but speaking French is highly recommended as Liege inhabitants are mainly monolingual.
