Traditional brown café with a heated terrace, darts and a chill-out corner, open from 14:00 to 04:00 and to 05:00 on Saturday.
Café Friends is a traditional brown café that the tourist board calls the cosiest spot on the Oude Markt. By day it has a small heated terrace, a darts area and a chill-out corner; in the evening the party moves indoors. Visit Enschede's September 2026 student guide names it, with San Remo and 't Gat in de Markt, as a nice bar with student prices.
Hours are long and almost the same every day: 14:00 to 04:00 from Monday to Friday and on Sunday, and 14:00 to 05:00 on Saturday. Google's busy-times data puts the peak on Wednesday around midnight, which fits its student crowd. Music and prices are not published. Not for you if you want an early finish: the busiest hour comes after midnight.
Walk-in café; no entry fee is listed.
