Barrazza

Barrazza is a cosy cafe on the little Hoefslagstraatje near Ghent's historic centre that brands itself as a gay-straight-friendly, Les/Bi/Gay-minded meeting spot. It is not a nightclub but a laid-back bar for conversation and drinks, popular with a mixed crowd that includes many LGBTQ+ regulars. The atmosphere is warm and low-key, making it a good daytime or early-evening alternative to the dance-cafes on nearby Kammerstraat. Expect a small, friendly room, a decent drinks list and a come-as-you-are welcome.
