NYX is a 4-story gay dance club on Reguliersdwarstsraat. In case you are wondering, NYX is named after the Greek goddess who was the daughter of Chaos. She would fly through the sky, bringing darkness behind her - rather appropriate for a nightclub.
Each floor offers a different style of music, and the focus is very much on a fun night out with as little pretension as possible. Check NYX's website for details of upcoming parties. Open Wednesdays to Saturdays.
