Going out in Eindhoven: Stratums Eind

Stratums Eind is the street in Eindhoven where it all goes down, when it comes to going out in Eindhoven. It is a street filled with bars, cafés and disco's. This street is actualle close to the centre of Eindhoven it is just a 5 minute walk from the market to Stratums eind, so really easy to find. From the Central trainstation to stratums eind it is a 15 minute walk straight through the centre of Eindhoven.

 Stratum in daylight.

Stratums Eind as said is a narrow street filled with bars. It is a great place to have an afternoon cup of tea or coffee but this is also where every weekend the party is started. A huge number of people in all ages come here to have a blast on saturday. There are all kinds of cafés, karaokebar, disco, gaybar, german cafe, studentbars. In short there is something for everyone. During events there are always events organised in this street, queensday (30th april) is such a day and when you are around, check it out!

 during event: Carnaval

The times Stratum is the place to be:

thursday (studentnight): 22.00 - 02.00

friday:                             22.00 - 04.00

saturday:                         22.00 - 04.00

A few of my favourite cafés;
Cafe Santé & Café De Stunt; cafe/bar with popular music where there usually is a relaxed atmosphere
Santiago de Cuba; where upstairs is a room to salsa, and everybody dances

But as said there are numerous bars, so feel free and check it out when you are in the neighbourhood!

coldness

After weeks of a warm winter, now the real cold is coming. Tomorrow night it will be minus 10 degrees celcius. It is strange, a few weeks ago when it still was 10 degrees above zero, people were dressed in their wintercoats, wearing hats and scarves. I just wonder what they are wearing today? Their skiing outfits? A fleece suit with two extra coats? Lol, just wondering. Tomorrow I will be looking to see for myself!

I am longing to go out again, it has been a while. In a few weeks it is carnaval. Not at all like the tropical version. In the south they will be all dressed up, drinking and making these big cars decorates with figurines and buildings all connected by one theme. Usually there are some cars critisizing politics or events in the news. I am sure to keep you informed.. here is an impression of what I mean.


I am really looking forward to this!
