The Pintelier Belgian café

For 90 years, this has been the ultimate place to be for a delicious glass of (speciality) beer, wine or a chat. See for yourself why this café was elected the best café in the Netherlands. The Wolthoorn is a very special venue that cherishes traditions and quality, and proper hospitality ensures people have the best time. Also take the time to note the other guests and the fascinating paintings and memorabilia on the walls. The Wolthoorn is the perfect place if you have something to celebrate. The attractive room in the back is large enough for a considerable group and snug for a lovely gathering.

Winebar of the Year 2018: Barrel Wijnlokaal lies hidden in the Haddingestraat near the Vismarkt. Barrel has a selection of over 500 wines  by the bottle, including some very exclusive bottlings. In addition, every week we open at least 60 wines that can be ordered by the glass and are served with delicious cheeses and sliced cold meats if desired. If you would like to taste our selection of the week, be sure to order a ‘small tasting’ of 4, 6 or 8 half glasses, of course provided with a short explanation. You can also book a private wine tasting at the Barrel Wine Bar. Recently, we opened our Wijnwinkel (wine shop) at Nieuwe Ebbingestraat 23.

Buckshot Café opened its doors on 15 October 1999. Owners Maarten Burger and Marc Groenewoud run two floors with two bars and two different ambiances. The ground floor has a relaxed atmosphere, where guests see what they are doing and hear what they are saying, while on the first floor you can easily imagine yourself in the 1970s or 1980s. Music is important to us, so we play the latest jazz, soul, funk, jazz dance, nu jazz, lounge, funk, fusion and jazz rock, and every Sunday there is live music on the ground floor stage. We hold Buckshot Specials on a regular basis: special evenings featuring special music. Refer to the concert calender  for dates of live music and specials.

Time Out is a company with history. Since 1976, the Jager family has been welcoming their guests in the Poelestraat in Groningen city centre, which makes Time Out a well known address where people love to return. After the last expansion in March 2007, Eetcafé Time Out is now Grand Café Time Out. This is the place to enjoy your lunch, drink or dinner in an informal atmosphere, sometimes even with some dancing. Because of its various attractive rooms (some of which are non-smoking), Time Out is very suitable for larger groups. In summer, enjoy the outdoor café at one of the most charming squares.
