SOCIALISE
Café De Prins is a Groningen gay bar open to everyone.
Café De Prins opened its doors in Groningen in December 2017. The café, with its modern design, quickly became a hotspot for the Groningen LGBTQ community as well as anyone who feels at home in the relaxed atmosphere of De Prins.
DRINK
The café has a range of fine wines by the glass and bottle. Fancy a bubbly? Try one of our champagnes and Prosecco!
We also serve a wide range of beers from the (changing)taps and by the bottle. Not in the mood for alcohol? Try one of our 0.0% special beers.
The Prins's extensive cocktail menu has 12 classic and custom cocktails, which fall under Cocktail Wednesday every Wednesday! For just €6 euros, you can break the week in half at Café de Prins!

CELEBRATE
Café de Prins is proud sponsor of PRIDE Groningen and actively participates in the board of the PRIDE GRONINGEN Foundation.
Since 2022, the Pride Groningen foundation has been organising Pride in Groningen. Pride Groningen believes that making diversity visible, and creating awareness, includes a strong fringe programme. This diverse, educational and above all colourful programme will take place at various locations in the city of Groningen. The fringe programme will deal with various themes that are relevant to the LGBTQI+ community but also of interest to a wider audience.
DANCE
De Prins plays music ranging from 80s classics to modern-day hits. Fridays and Saturdays are perfect for a dance night out on our dance floor. On Saturdays, De Prins hosts its Club Night with a DJ!
