The Roxy

Bu yer hakkında The Roxy

The Roxy is one of the Schipperskwartier's more sociable gay bars — oriented toward drinking and conversation as much as the more cruise-specific venues in the neighbourhood. The Verversrui location puts it in the heart of the former red-light district, now transformed into one of Antwerp's more interesting evening destinations. Regular themed nights — karaoke evenings, drag performances, themed parties aligned with the Belgian gay calendar — give The Roxy a programming identity that keeps a regular crowd returning. The bar is welcoming to visitors in the way that Antwerp's gay scene generally is: the city is small enough that strangers are integrated rather than marginalised. For visitors exploring the Schipperskwartier's gay scene, The Roxy is a good social base before or after the more specific venues in the neighbourhood.
