What reviewers say

Visitors often praise the venue for its good vibe and cheap drinks, with some mentioning friendly staff and bouncers. However, a significant complaint is the extremely slow service, with multiple guests reporting long waits for paid drinks and even being asked to leave when inquiring about their orders. Some also note that the club is small and prices, particularly for cocktail buckets, have increased.

About this place Sunny Beach

Sunny Beach is a bar on Peperstraat, the busiest nightlife street in central Groningen. Despite earlier descriptions, it is listed as gay-friendly, which means a mainstream bar rather than a gay venue. The street draws a large student crowd, and late nights from Thursday to Saturday are the busiest. Google reviewers rate it about 4.1 from over 500 reviews. We have no hours or details about the crowd, so check its website or socials for opening times and theme nights before you go.

Definitely recommended for a fun night out; not always too big a club, but a good vibe.

Such a let down

They have cheap drinks here. Furthermore, this club is often empty, and the staff is quite friendly.

The club really isn’t what it used to be. Cocktail buckets – once your star attraction – have jumped from €25–30 to €40–45. Ouch. Also, being forced to order only at the front bar (just to make the place look busier) when the club is practically empty? Not exactly the vibe. If I’m at the far end of the bar, I’d love the freedom to order there too. Right now the club feels more like a glorified bathroom with cheap shots than the fun spot it used to be. My advice? Be kinder to your customers and rethink those prices. It might just keep your loyal regulars around. Hope this one sticks and sparks some change. With love, An old fan who misses the good days

I ordered my drunk w friends. We paid 5 shoots. After 20 mins I didn’t get anything; this is not something that should be normal in this continent, out of this world. When I said the waiter I’m waiting too long ( 20 mins after paying) the waiter said I should leave. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE, SKIP IT!!!!
