Going out in Den Helder

Den Helder comes alive after sunset. From intimate cafés to creative hotspots, here you'll experience an evening full of atmosphere, music, and character.

Start your evening at Chéri Cocktails & More or Tante Nel with a good glass of wine or a local cocktail. In the mood for a relaxed vibe? Café de Boell, Café Dupont, or 't Barretje feel like your living room, but with better coffee.

In the mood for culture? Theater de Kampanje offers theater and music in a unique setting. Prefer the outdoors? Check out the Open Air Theater Helderse Vallei. For movies, Cinema Zevenskoop or Kinepolis are the place to be.

Ready for some action? Dance at De Bliksem, discover live music at De Pimp, or try your luck at Funtastic Casino. Beer lover? Then you absolutely have to go to Fort Westoever with its own brewery.

Finish in style at Bar Bonaire or dine in Julianadorp at Restaurant Juliana's. Turn your night out into a complete mini-adventure.
