About

The Lantern is a venue located in Lelystad, offering a local spot to unwind and enjoy some time out. While not exclusively LGBTQ+, its inclusive atmosphere and welcoming staff make it a comfortable option for queer visitors in the area.

The vibe at the Lantern is generally relaxed and casual. It's a spot where you'll find a mix of locals enjoying a drink after work or catching up with friends. The atmosphere is unpretentious, leaning towards a laid-back neighborhood pub feel rather than a high-energy club. It’s neither particularly intimate nor overly spacious, offering a comfortable middle ground.

The Lantern’s appeal to the LGBTQ+ community stems from its generally accepting and friendly environment. While it doesn't host specific gay nights or events, the staff are known to be welcoming and respectful, creating a space where everyone can feel at ease. It's a place where you can simply be yourself without feeling the need to explain or defend.

While the Lantern might not have drag shows or themed nights, it provides a solid selection of drinks and a menu of pub-style food. It’s a great place to enjoy a casual evening with friends, perhaps catching a game on TV or simply enjoying the conversation.

A good time to visit the Lantern is during the late afternoon or early evening on weekends, when the atmosphere is lively but not overly crowded. It's a great spot to kick off your night or simply enjoy a relaxed evening out.
