Welcome to Café The Corner, a gem nestled in the heart of Kampen, Netherlands, at Buiten Nieuwstraat 3-5. This vibrant café is the perfect spot for both locals and travelers looking to unwind in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Café The Corner is more than just a café; it’s a cultural hub for music enthusiasts, particularly for fans of metal and hard rock. With a playlist that pulsates with electrifying sounds, it’s no wonder that regulars like Philip de Groot rave about its music selection, making it a top choice for like-minded souls to congregate.

The ambiance is lively yet cozy, boasting friendly staff who genuinely enjoy serving their guests. Giovanni Meuleman noted the warm and welcoming service, calling it a “gezellig” spot, perfect for enjoying a drink or catching up with friends. Whether you’re here for an after-work drink or a night out, the atmosphere promises to lift your spirits.

What’s more, the café provides a variety of activities to keep you entertained. You can challenge friends to a game of pool, though be prepared for a unique challenge with the somewhat warped table, as humorously pointed out by Jeroen Roepers. Regardless, the friendly environment and inviting service make it a place worth visiting time and time again. He emphasized, “Verder niks te klagen, kom er graag!” which translates to “Nothing else to complain about, I love coming here!”

For those seeking a night filled with live music, Café The Corner occasionally hosts band evenings, creating an electrifying atmosphere that Herold Wezenberg described as a “heerlijk avondje uit,” or a delightful night out. Pair that with affordable drinks—like their popular bottleneck of Hertog Jan at just €2—and you have the makings of a fantastic evening.

In short, Café The Corner is not just a café; it’s a social experience waiting to be had. With its unique offerings, friendly atmosphere, and emphasis on quality music, it truly encapsulates the vibrant culture of Kampen. So why not stop by and make some memories while reveling in the best of both local and musical culture?

Op zichzelf een gezellig cafe in de binnenstad van Kampen. Het personeel is zeer vriendelijk tegenover de klant. Ook zijn er voldoende activiteiten aanwezig om je naar wens te vermaken.

Goede service, pool gelegenheid en vriendelijk personeel, dat alles voor een schappelijke prijs! Alleen jammer dat de pooltafel zo krom is als wat en de muziek af en toe op standje gehoorsbeschadiging word gedraaid Verder niks te klagen, kom er graag!
