Nachtclub Vanilla

Nachtclub Vanilla occupies a small but flexible space on the Wagenstraat, a street that sits between The Hague's Centrum shopping district and the residential areas to the west of the city centre. The venue is gay-friendly rather than exclusively gay, but the programming — regular drag nights, queer DJ events, themed parties — has built a strong LGBTQ+ following. The scale of the space is intimate enough that it can function equally well as a drag performance venue or a small dancefloor club, and the management's willingness to programme explicitly queer content makes it a reliable destination for the city's queer community beyond the established gay bars. Nachtclub Vanilla is particularly popular with The Hague's younger queer residents, students from the Universiteit Leiden (which has a significant presence in The Hague) and the HBO institutions, and the international young professional community that gravitates toward the city's international courts and organisations. Events are irregular — check the venue's social media for current programming.
