’t Gat in de Markt

If you're wandering through the heart of Enschede, do not miss the lively and vibrant atmosphere of ’t Gat in de Markt. Nestled at Oude Markt 13, this student café is undeniably a hotspot that embodies the adventurous spirit of university life.

As you approach, the eclectic charm of the café draws you in, but it’s the warm, inviting vibe that makes you want to stay. The space transforms from a typical bar to a buzzing hub of laughter, camaraderie, and the unmistakable energy that comes from a night filled with friends and fun.

One glance around and you’ll find a mix of old-world charm and lively decor, perfect for a night spent with that special circle of friends—or perhaps just a group of fellow adventurers looking to unwind after a long day. Here, the air is filled with the cheerful clinking of glasses and the spirited banter of excited patrons sharing stories and, of course, laughs. It’s the kind of place that feels alive, with walls that are drenched in memories waiting to be made.

Customer experiences capture the essence of this beloved café. One enthusiastic patron, Muel, couldn't quite recall all the details of their visit but left with fond laughter, hinting at the sheer joy of the experience. Another amusing review from Super Pannekoek pointed out how brilliantly the place has been transformed into a vibrant venue despite its not-so-glamorous origins, praising it as a perfect student café that thrives on its lively, carefree spirit.

And if you’re someone who enjoys a good night out, take it from Gershom Sluis, who extols the virtues of the affordable drinks and festive environment. He humorously advises fellow visitors to leave their coats at home unless they want to risk misplacing them in the chaos of laughter and spontaneity. It’s a quintessential student bar, often filled to the brim with spirited revelers, making it the ideal spot to end a long night out—perhaps with a late-night döner afterward.

However, it's not all serious; Club 92 shares a candid view about the atmospheric quirks, specifically the infamous "aroma" that visitors come to expect. The underlying charm here lies in the shared experiences—everyone is in it together, embracing the night. There’s a palpable sense of unity and whimsy: for every caution about the slippery stairs, there’s a laugh, a toast, and a moment of connection.

So whether you’re a local student or a visitor seeking an authentic taste of Enschede’s nightlife, ’t Gat in de Markt promises a vibrant atmosphere fueled by laughter, camaraderie, and delightful indulgences. Grab your friends, raise a glass, and become part of the living tapestry that unfolds in this wonderfully chaotic café—where memories are always just a laugh away.
