🍺Classic Brown Café with Music

For more than forty years, De Luifel has been Utrecht's favorite no-nonsense beer café. This traditional brown bar on the bustling Neude square combines old-fashioned gezelligheid with a young, enthusiastic team and a vibrant atmosphere, creating the perfect blend of classic Dutch café culture and modern energy.

Every Friday from 22:00 until the late hours, the venue transforms into a dance floor with Get Back nights. DJs bring crates full of oldies but goldies and aren't shy about playing requests. It's the perfect way to end the week with classic tunes and good company on one of Utrecht's most iconic squares.

Proudly celebrating Utrecht roots, De Luifel collaborates extensively with local brewers and suppliers. All IPA beers on the menu come from the city itself. With over 60 different beers to taste and a well-stocked games cabinet, there's something for everyone whether you're a beer enthusiast or casual drinker.

Got an unhealthy competitive streak or just fancy a game over drinks? Every second Wednesday of the month at 20:30, De Luifel hosts pub quizzes. Reservations can be made through the website or directly with the friendly staff at the bar.

Perfect for: Lovers of oldies and classic music, Friday night dancers, local beer enthusiasts, pub quiz teams, casual drinks on the Neude, and anyone seeking authentic Dutch brown café atmosphere with a musical twist.
