Kingstreet

Kingstreet is a veteran gay dance-cafe on Kammerstraat, frequently described as Ghent's oldest surviving gay bar. Open nightly from late evening into the small hours, it is a dependable fixture on the same street as Casa Rosa, giving the Kammerstraat quarter its concentration of queer nightlife. Inside it is intimate and dance-focused, with a mix of regulars and visitors and a soundtrack of pop and disco. There is no pretension here: it is a neighbourhood gay bar that has outlasted trends, and its longevity makes it a landmark for anyone tracing the history of Ghent's LGBTQ+ scene.
