Het Volk

Sobre este lugar Het Volk

Het Volk sits on the Korenmarkt — Ghent's main city-centre square, directly overlooked by the towers of Saint Nicholas' Church — and functions as one of the city's most accessible gay-friendly bars. The venue is not exclusively gay but has a strong LGBTQ+ presence and explicitly welcoming character; the crowd on any given evening includes a significant proportion of gay men and lesbians alongside a mixed straight clientele, reflecting Ghent's integrated approach to its gay scene. The Korenmarkt location is ideal for visitors: the square is the entry point to Ghent's medieval centre, near the Graslei waterfront and within walking distance of all the city's major sights. Het Volk is a good evening starting point — accessible, centrally located, and relaxed enough for a drink while deciding what to do next. The Belgian beer selection is taken seriously, as it must be in Ghent.
