Zondag
Funky mellow tunes through the day segue to jazzier, harder sounds at night. It’s light, airy, beautifully tiled and the food couldn’t be fresher. Choose from a huge range of sandwiches and baked goods by day. The creative drinks list is long.

Muziekcafé de Paap
Den Haag's best place for live music, and just a great, versatile nightspot. It's atmospheric, and has a fab restaurant and bar where you can kick off early. It's a youngish, cool crowd, but really geared to anyone who's into music.

Vera
The club to see the next big rock act at; U2 played to 30-odd people in the early 1980s here, and Nirvana later gave a performance to a crowd of about 60 people before going supernova. Maybe less is more?
