Arenberg is one of Antwerp's greatest entertainment venues, playing host to the finest music,…read moretheatre and comedy shows; conveniently located nearby Antwerp's shopping / restaurant district (Meir, Theaterplein) and major bus routes (Franklin Rooseveltplaats, 1 km). Arenberg is also a theatre building with a rich history: it was constructed in the 16th century and was originally meant to be a guild house. The heart of the Arenberg is the Main Hall ("Grote Zaal"). It seats 800 persons and is perfect for any kind of event. The Small Hall ("Kleine Zaal") has a maximum capacity of 92 persons (seated) / 150 persons (standing). Before and after the performance, u can enjoy a drink in the foyer or in their "Cantina". Due to safety regulations, use of the cloakroom is compulsory (1st floor). But don't worry, it's free of charge!

Tonight i was standing in - one of the remarkable gems in Antwerp - De Roma; a delicately restored…read moremovie palace from the 1920s. A historic and intimate venue, situated just outside the heart of the city and only a 11 minutes tram ride away from Antwerpen - Centraal railway station (tram 10 Wijnegem and 24 Silsburg, get off at "De Roma", +/- 1.8 km). After a 20-year(!) closure, it rose like a phoenix from the ashes with renewed beauty. In 2003 De Roma reopened after extensive renovation. Today it has been reclaimed as a venue for live music, as well as for movies, comedy and theatre. And maybe one day De Roma will be able to retake its place as one of the crown jewels of the entertainment venues. No doubt, even the stars will shine brighter after a full renovation. FYI: The Turnhoutsebaan in Borgerhout is notorious for being a "bad neighbourhood". Whether the neighbourhood deserves the bad rep or not, it's not up to me to say. But if u want to grab a drink after the concert, i do recommend u to go back to the Keyserlei.
