Speakeasy cocktail bar hidden under the Vrijthof, opened in autumn 2024 and nominated for best new cocktail bar in the Netherlands.

Somewhere in the Middle is a speakeasy cocktail bar hidden under the Vrijthof, at number 8. It opened in autumn 2024, and Bart's Boekje (November 2025) describes a dark, sultry room with a low ceiling, deep red and green tones and a basement feel. The same guide notes a nomination for best new cocktail bar in the Netherlands. The menu mixes classic cocktails with a twist and signature drinks, such as a Cherry Pie cocktail and a Red Velvet.

A third-party listing shows it open from 18:00: until 01:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, until 02:00 on Friday and Saturday and until midnight on Sunday, closed on Tuesday. Book through its SevenRooms page, especially on weekends. Not for you if you want a cheap round or a dance floor: this is a seated craft-cocktail room.
