Reviews of Arenberg Theatre
Eddy DE WAEGENAERE
Great Radio1 Session at Arenberg. Featuring Selah Sue, Axelle Red, K.ZIA, Nneka, Krisy..
Lisanne Peters
Medium sized theatre in town which hosts a lot of great comedy and cultural events. The line up doesn't have the biggest acts, though they're definitely proper names. The tickets are affordable and the venue itself is amazing and the place has a nice relaxed vibe. (Also the beer selection at the bar contains a lot of local Antwerp beers like Seef and Cabardouche)

Maxine Plompen
The location is fantastic, with convenient parking and easy access by public transportation. The lobby area is inviting and well-maintained, and the bathrooms are clean. The seats were comfortable, and the acoustics were excellent. I’d definitely return for another show.
