Entertainment in Leiden

  1. A

    North End

    This superb English-style pub is full of warmth, cosy nooks and character. It comes complete with its very own 'bourbon alley' (not very English, granted, but a welcome selection of booze all the same) and patented beer strippenkaart (strip card).

    In Casa

    This place is huge and, from the outside, looks as though it has no atmosphere – but appearances can be deceiving. It has live music, a dance floor, comedy and a variety of other events.

    Jazzcafé the Duke

    ‘If we don’t have it, you don’t need it’ is its motto, and amid this cool-cat interior of yellowing, vintage jazz posters, the fine live jazz never makes you doubt it.

    Café de WW

    On Fridays and Saturdays, live rock can expand to an impromptu stage in the alley with crowds trailing up to the main street. On other nights there’s a DJ.

    Café l’Esperance

    Long, dark and handsome, all decked out in nostalgic wood panelling and overlooking an evocative bend in the canal. Tables abound outside in summer.

    Café Jantje van Leiden

    As narrow as a brown cafe as you’ll find. Take your glass of beer and plop down on a bench out the front.
