Brown café at Kerkplein 7 with a terrace under the Grote Kerk, a long beer list and a late-night bar after midnight.

Café De Bruine Pij is a traditional brown café at Kerkplein 7, with peanut shells on the floor and a terrace directly under the Grote Kerk. The beer list is long, and a 2025 local guide mentions live music. After midnight it turns into a late-night bar.

It is the place for a drink under the church before the party cafés, or after them. Opening hours are not published in the guides we found. Not for you if you want a dance floor: the mood stays on the cosy side.
