Nightlife in Groningen

A lot of tourist Information can easily be retrieved from websites. However, knowledge on a city’s nightlife is typically less visible, and therefore we have included some more specific information about Groningen’s nightlife. Groningen’s nightlife depends largely on its student population. Its cultural scene is vibrant and remarkable for a city of its size. In particular, the Grote Markt, the Vismarkt, the Poelestraat and Peperstraat are crowded at night, especially on Thursdays and Saturdays when some bars do not close until 7.00 AM in the morning. Some nice places:

• De Drie Gezusters/Groote Griet/Hoppe (Grote Markt 37-39), A huge mainstream pub (some say the biggest in Europe) with various rotating bars.
• Mr. Mofongo (Oude Boteringestraat 26). The nr. 1 cocktail bar in town.
• De Pintelier (Kleine Kromme Elleboog 9). A pub where they serve beer and whiskey with capital B and W. Over 100 different beers and over 40 different whiskeys.
