About this place Decadance

Decadance is part of Ghent's famous Overpoortstraat — the city's student nightlife street, which concentrates more clubs and bars per metre than anywhere else in Belgium. The venue is not exclusively gay but runs regular LGBTQ+ nights and has an explicitly welcoming character toward Ghent's large queer student population. The student club atmosphere is distinct from the more established gay bar scene: louder, younger, more chaotic, and significantly cheaper. For LGBTQ+ visitors who are themselves students or who enjoy the specific energy of a large student club on a Friday night, Decadance provides something different from the more settled gay bars. The Overpoortstraat location is a 20-minute walk from the city centre or a short tram ride, and the street itself is worth experiencing as a cultural phenomenon — the density of student nightlife on this one street during the academic year is extraordinary.

We had an after-party here following a session at MODUL’AIR, and it was fantastic! The atmosphere was great, the sound was awesome, the service was good, and there was a lovely outdoor area to chill with friends. Perfect for ending the day on a high note. We'll definitely be back!

Ideal for dancing and stomping. Too bad you have to pay extra for the toilets…
