Gay Bars in Antwerp

Besides of the bars listed here, there are some more gay bars in the area north of the Central Station, in and around Van Schoonhovenstraat. Most of these bars aren't very appealing for gay travellers with their oldfashioned 1980s style, Belgian Pop music and the sometimes sad, sometimes trashy atmosphere. But if you're curious just give it a try – the bars are very close to each other within few metres.
