Going Out for Drinks in The Hague — Five Floors, One Spot
Want to grab a drink in downtown The Hague but don’t feel like making a reservation? At Bleyenberg on the Grote Markt, just walk right in—and choose the vibe that suits your evening. The ground-floor restaurant and bar, the rooftop on the third floor, and karaoke in the basement. Five floors, three completely different atmospheres.
Three places to grab a drink — pick the one that's right for you
Most bars in The Hague offer one kind of atmosphere. Bleyenberg offers three! Which one you choose depends on the weather, the season, and the kind of evening you’re looking for:
Nice weather and in the mood for a view? → Rooftop bar (April through September)
Cold outside and in the mood for cocktails? → Bar Bley Restobar (October through March)
With friends and in the mood for karaoke? → BLÊR Karaoke (all year round)
Rooftop bar for summer evenings
During the summer, the third floor is open: a 225 m² covered rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the Grote Markt and The Hague’s city center. Cocktails, signature drinks, classics, and mocktails. A resident DJ on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 9:30 p.m. Open Thu/Fri/Sat starting at 5:00 p.m. when the weather is nice.
Check out the rooftop bar.
BLÊR Karaoke for Groups
Coming with friends or a group? Then book a private karaoke booth in the basement. Seven booths for 6 to 12 people, over 40,000 songs in more than 10 languages, and your own bar service per booth.
Open Thu/Fri/Sat from 5:00 p.m. — Book online!
When are we the right choice for you?
We're the place for:
— A Friday afternoon get-together that goes on late into the evening
— Your first date, hassle-free (just walk right in)
— Doing something different with a group of friends for a change

Bar Bley for Winter Evenings
From October through March, Bar Bley is open on the ground floor. It’s a “restobar” concept: sharing-style dining, signature cocktails, arcade games, and a welcoming atmosphere. You can also eat here—bar bites and small dishes to share. Open Thu/Fri/Sat starting at 5:00 p.m.
