Bars and Cafes in Groningen

Edit This
i

At the Grote Markt, in the Peperstraat/Poelestraat, in the Zwanestraat/Kromme Elleboog and somewhat out of the center area, at the Gedempte Zuiderdiep and Kattendiep (across the street where the Casino is located), you'll find lots of pubs and cafes.
Below is a listing of suggestions. Main night to go out: Thursday night (Friday night is another option).

Groningen is known, also in the rest of the country, to be a haven for women wanting to go out on their own: they can go and drink a coffee or a beer single-handedly without so much as being bothered by men or the specific looks.

Atlantis

Dark little chess-cafe. Very cheap drinks. You can go here and invite a stranger to play chess with you.

De Drie Gezusters

Edit This

In the centre of Groningen on the Grote Markt you'll find ‘The 3 Gezusters’ (also called 'the 3' by locals). ‘The 3 Gezusters’ is the largest cafe in the Netherlands. This large cafe is split up into 12 smaller cafes and dancing areas, every area has its own name. All of these areas are interconnected. When here for the first time, it’s like a labyrinth. In ‘The 3 Gezusters’,  for every different person there's a place he or she will like. Some of the cafes are small and cozy but other places are crowded and noisy. There are also 4 dancing areas more..

Rumba

When you visit Groningen, you should check Rumba in the Poelestraat 20(peperstraat 2), known for it's latin music, cocktails and beautiful & trendy people. Very good Caipirinha's. Most of the international students pop in here, especially during happy hours on monday, tuesday and wednesday.  It's so popular there's a waiting line in the weekends, so try to be there before 00.00.....& dress to impress

Rumba Cafe - Lounge & Club

Edit This

Latin vibes here! In my opinion the coolest place in Groningen.  The place has two stories and has just been expanded.  Downstairs you'll find the dancefloor and huge cocktail bar, upstairs there's the lounge & V.I.P. room, champagne, fine cocktails & cigar room.  In the summer they have a super terrace at the back with lounge chairs & hammocks! Great interior & furniture.  Great ambiance, music and cool people.  Tight security, dress well to enter in weekends.  Must visit !!

Cafe Het Feest

Edit This

Cafe Het Feest is an awesome bar, with two actual bars inside, I believe --- one of which spins! They play a variety of great music there, and the dancefloor really gets crowded as the night goes on.
