't Herenhuis
A men's sauna in Antwerp's Berchem district, drawing a predominantly local crowd looking for a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
Antwerp's gay scene is small, tight, and stylish, clustered in a few streets behind Centraal Station and shaped by the city's fashion-school cool. The bars run from polished cafés in heritage buildings to a still-thriving leather and cruise tradition rare in cities of this size. The crowd is design-aware and quietly self-assured, with strong overlap between gay nightlife and Antwerp's creative class. Antwerp Pride in August fills the centre with a parade and stretches the parties down towards the Scheldt.
