About this place Café Rocco

Café Rocco is Leuven's gay bar, a rainbow-flagged café just behind the railway station on Diestsesteenweg in Kessel-Lo. It is a talking bar, not a club: no dance floor, moderate music, and a mixed crowd of locals and students of all ages. Several local LGBTQ+ groups use it as a regular meeting point. The UniQue rainbow house is close by, which makes this stretch behind the station the nearest thing Leuven has to a gay corner. Opening days vary, so check the website before making the walk under the tracks. For a bigger night out, Brussels is 20 minutes away by train.

Maybe nice place, but nobody answers the phone when asking for info. Maybe old phone number?

 5.Café Rocco- Diestsesteenweg 24, 3010 Leuven, Belgium Where you’ll met people of goodwill and they welcome you with open arms. Where you are free to think, where you confront your loneliness through the interaction with others, and by confronting that loneliness we realised that everything we do is out of fear of been lonely, “isn’t that why we renounce everything and every regret at the end of our life? When dictatorship is a fact, revolution is a duty” (Night train to Lisbon, Swiss writer Pascal Mercier).. The variety of thoughts in there, is beyond description. Maybe it was of a too longer walk!!!!!!!!... Qui sait? Or maybe I should start going vegan!? ahnnnn,....don't think so, vegan only while eating chocolate and drinking beer. With the quality of tailored food in Leuven, it’s just not happening and the only time I’ll go completly vegan is for my love love I HEART YOU, my passion Neuhaus. So, it's a nice evening and the walk back to 6. Tafelrond - The Fourth, Grote Markt 5, 3000 Leuven, Belgium in this beautiful night and the stars light will guide our senses through Diestsestraat.
