About this place Partycafe de Doos

Partycafe de Doos is a party bar on Gelkingestraat in the centre of Groningen, a street lined with bars that draws the city's large student population. It is a mainstream venue listed as gay-friendly. Older descriptions called it a gay bar, but nothing supports that. Expect a busy, mixed crowd, loud sing-along and party music, and a full room late on weekend nights. The listing has no opening hours. Bars like this usually get going late in the evening and stay open into the early morning, so check the website before you go. For Groningen's dedicated queer nights, look for COC Groningen events instead. Google reviewers rate de Doos 4.5.

We had a fantastic night at De Doos! For our promotional party, we were able to play our own music and down loads of shots. We'd love to come back!

It was a decent place to party. The music was mostly German pop. The atmosphere was great, and the drinks were delicious! The "perfume dispenser" was a real problem; the dance floor reeked of prostitution the whole time!

Man, oh man... what a party I had!! These people know how to throw a party. They know how to get everyone involved. It was super fun and everything was organized down to the last detail. Highly recommended if you want to throw a party.

Too bad, the shots were undrinkable (badly made by poorly trained staff), and the staff were drunk themselves...and rude to guests. Unfortunately, not worth a repeat visit. The place lives up to its name.
