NYX is a brand new (October 2012) three-floor gay dance club in the heart of Reguliersdwarstsraat.  In case you are wondering, NYX was a Greek goddess and daughter of Chaos who would fly through the sky bringing darkness behind her – rather appropriate for a nightclub.

Each of the three floors offers a different style of music, and the focus is very much on a fun night out with as little pretension as possible.  Open Thursdays to Saturdays . Regular special events and themed nights – check NYX’s website for details.
