Lokarria has been on rue des Postes in Wazemmes since 2015 and calls itself a cultural bar for everyone. The programme runs to concerts, exhibitions, DJ sets and queer nights, among them evenings put on by and for queer women.
The house rules are published rather than assumed. No racist, sexist or LGBTQIA+phobic behaviour is tolerated, and the staff say plainly that they will step in for anyone on the receiving end of it.
Away from the events there is a quieter end with sofas and a shelf of board games. Cocktails and draught beer, priced for the student quarter it sits in.
