Café Strange (Closed Permanently)

No ratings yet
Olde-worlde charm
A delightfully kitschy and disco-ball-decorated relic, Antwerp's first official gay bar is one of the few surviving remnants of the once-thriving gay zone just north of the Central Station. As of 2019 Café Strange, the Kinky's and the relatively recent addition Bar Rainbow are all that's left, with the neighbourhood now defined more by the local Chinese and African communities. Some feel the area's a bit dodgy now, but this bar still shines bright like a diamond, with its unhurried white-haired service and a friendly gay mix.


Hours
Tue to Sun 7pm—2am
