Brown café at Vrijthof 15, open until 02:00 or 03:00, where the tables are cleared for dancing on weekend evenings.
In den Ouden Vogelstruys is a brown café at Vrijthof 15, which the city's tourist board calls the oldest café in the Netherlands. Lonely Planet describes dark panelled walls hung with swords, medals and 1950s portraits of regulars. There is a terrace for dry weather, and the café opens at 09:30.
It closes at 02:00 from Monday to Thursday and at 03:00 from Friday to Sunday. On weekend evenings the tables and chairs are cleared to make room for dancing and drinking. No entry fee or age limit is published. Not for you if you want a quiet seat on a Saturday night: the room is turned over to the floor, and the Vrijthof terraces next door are the calmer option.
Walk-in café; no entry fee or age limit is published.
