About this place Café Bodytalk

Café Bodytalk is Utrecht's oldest surviving gay bar, open on the Oudegracht since 1987 and long regarded as the anchor of the city's gay scene. It has a livelier, more club-like feel than a traditional brown café — louder music, a younger crowd drawn from Utrecht's large student population, and DJs on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. The bar sits right on the canal in the binnenstad, a short walk from the Dom Tower, and stays busy late into the weekend. Decades of continuous operation have made it a fixture of local queer life: a reliable first stop for a night out, welcoming to visitors while keeping the loyal regulars who give it its character.

Such a great experience! The guy with semi-long, dark brown curly hair was so great and helpful, takes great care of everyone there!

Very small. Almost no room to move. Bad music.

Thanks to Hamad for his warm welcome and excellent service, we had a fantastic evening! Highly recommended bar with a view of the canal or inside for a more atmospheric setting.
