Boesjkammeree

An alternative rock cafe on the doorstep of Mechelen railway station, Boesjkammeree is open into the small hours. You’ll find a DJ here on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The cafe also boasts a large and pleasant summer terrace.

Bars & Nightlife

Part of what makes Mechelen so convivial is its human scale. Rather than packing into large dance halls and nightclubs, in the evenings people tend to gather in the many atmospheric cafés and bars. Many of these provide live music, particularly in the summer months. The area best known for its nightlife is the Vismarkt or old fish market, which abounds in relaxed cafés for all age groups. The dynamism of the Vismarkt spills over into the surrounding Korenmarkt, Onze-Lieve-Vrouwestraat, Begijnenstraat and Melaan. Students tend to converge on the area around the station.
