What makes Bodytalk stand out
Bodytalk has been on the Oudegracht since 1987 and is considered Utrecht’s oldest gay bar. Once a classic men’s café, today it is a colourfully decorated rainbow café for everyone. In good weather you sit right by the canal.
At weekends DJs play, the bar takes on an almost club-like feel and there is often a queue at the door. Current theme nights are posted on its social media channels.
Atmosphere and crowd
The crowd is young, mixed and exuberant, with many students from the university city of Utrecht. In Google reviews, the staff are by far the most frequently praised.
A good fit if you …
- are under 30 and want a party with pop
- want to sit by the canal
- want to dance at the weekend
Not ideal if you …
- are going out on a Monday
- are looking for a quiet pub for the over-40s, Kalff is better suited for that
