The best clubs for a night out in Groningen

Groningen is one of the biggest student cities in the Netherlands, and all those students give the city a lively nightlife. It’s the only city with no compulsory closing time, so there are plenty of spots where you can keep going until the early hours. In this blog we cover where to go for a night out, and also where to start and finish your evening.

Where the night begins

Every good night out in Groningen starts at Tante Toos. This well-known cloakroom is right in the middle of the nightlife area, at the start of the Poelestraat if you’re coming from the Grote Markt. As well as a cloakroom where you can easily leave your coat and bag, Tante Toos is a meeting spot for you and your friends, where you can kick off your night out together. Quick service and friendly staff make Tante Toos a great start to your evening out in Groningen.

Clubs

If you love an evening full of music, energy and dancing, Groningen has a wide choice of dance clubs.

At Wolter Wolthers in the Poelestraat you can enjoy disco hits, with a DJ playing every night. Wolter Wolthers is an ideal place to drop by during a night out if you love dancing and disco.

In the Peperstraat you’ll also find Chupitos, a shot bar with plenty of dancing and drinking, where you can choose from as many as 150 different shots. It’s open from Tuesday to Saturday, so you can enjoy the party atmosphere in this small club.

And if you’re really after the club feeling, head to PALACE on Thursdays and Saturdays: a nightclub with a variety of cocktails and different DJs, where you can dance until the early hours. PALACE is the only true club in Groningen, and it often hosts special themed nights, ideal for an evening that’s a little more special.
