    By far the best music venue I've experienced! Very relaxed atmosphere, staff were lovely, superb sound quality, the bar serve a great selection of beer and even let you go into the venue with a tulip glass! This is very refreshing given how awful most UK venues are! Seeing Jason Isbell here, standing at the front was the most memorable gig and well worth the trip from Scotland.

    The Roma is an awesome place! The theatre is beautiful, the sound quality and acoustic is great and you can stay close to your favourite artists. The service there is just excellent! People working there at the bike park, bars and everyone else, are super friendly and nice. And they are volunteers!

    Old venue for music concerts or other performances, but completely restored to it's original condition (or even better, I suspect, because it used to be a movie theatre). Very beautifull interior. Within walking distance from the Antwerp Central Train Station; about 30 minutes. Nice bar as well; no hassle with tokens, you can pay with cash or card for your drinks.

    Wow what an amazing venue and run by the lovely volunteers. We had a great show here and the food backstage for tea was spot on. The backstage area is very nice and the history of the place is fascinating.

    Wonderful venue. I planned my Europe trip around music and saw Matt Maeson here.

    One of my favourite music venues. Two bar areas, fast and friendly service. And you have the option of standing or sitting on the balconies

    Very well organised and some great events with surprisingly well known artists. We have been a few times already and have more booked in advance. The volunteers are always friendly and helpful, the venue well looked after, clean and comfortable. The backstage tours are worth a look when they have them.

    One of, if not the very, best music venues I've had the privilege to visit. Their processes of operation made for a fluid experience: entry, coat check, merch, seating, bar and exit! Well balanced sound and intimate performance.

    Great venue just outside the city of Antwerp. An 18th century theatre that is run by volunteers and is being considerately renovated. I visited late 2023 and overall the venue was in great condition. The band sounded good, the beer selection was varied, the staff were all very polite and helpful. I arrived just before the support band began and got one of the few remaining seats upstairs in the balcony area. I'd love to go back and see something else here. It's about a 40min walk from the historic centre or €15 by taxi. There's not a lot else in the vicinity, though a barman did tell me the area was slowly being gentrified. A few bars and takeaways on the main drag, not a lot else.

    Great location! There is a lot of space and the people working there are really friendly. I had the pleasure to see one of my favorite artists. I only wish there were sitting places, the ones already in the building were closes to the public.

  • 5/5 James P. 1 year ago on Google
    A fantastic concert space. This should be the model for all medium sized venues… The bar was well stocked and well staffed - took no time to get served (in real glasses no less!). Staff were friendly and respectful and the sound and lighting was excellent. This place is a real gem.

    Great old theater in art-deco style, with a lot of charm and character. Always a pleasure coming to a movie or live performance, because of the cosy atmosphere. Thanks to the many volunteers, who do a great job 👍

    Small venue, nice and classic. Good beers, well organized but difficult to find parking nearby.

  • 5/5 Jesse Tijnagel (. 1 year ago on Google
    Great to have seen Robert Glasper performing here.

  • 5/5 Richard H. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic concert hall. Beautiful interior and a great place to see The Human League! Staff are helpful and friendly!

  • 5/5 D V. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cosy concert hall. Worth visiting just for the interior, but a good line up makes it even better. Drinks are typically Antwerp.

  • 5/5 L M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful historic theater. Acoustics are really great. Smallish venue with a decent bar. Perfect environment for enjoying an intimate show.

  • 5/5 Dennis M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic venue, old style setup based on 1928 built cinema. All emaintained by volunteers (don't forget to donate) Visited 'De Staat' with their 2022 show enjoyed the mix of old and new tracks, but as always a great great live performance.

  • 5/5 RJ van O. 2 years ago on Google
    Authentic stylish theatre with great atmosphere! Kind staff and great beer (Bolleke) at reasonable price! Not the best acoustics (nothing but thieves) but compensated by the items above mentioned. Already bought tickets for the next Concert here!

👍👍 Always good to be at ‘De Studio’, it is located next to a nice square to hang out and have some beers in the weekend. (Café Korsakoff,...) I only have been to De Studio when there were events, so I actually don’t know if there is something to see when there is no event. There is a small bar though....
