Mezrab Cafe reflects Amsterdam's unique cultural sense and how it thinks outside the box.
The cafe is a cultural center with musical performances & workshops, but it's mostly known for its storytelling nights. Held a couple of times a month and some nights are all in Dutch and many are in English. About 4-5 seasoned storytellers recant their funny, poignant, sad & heartfelt experiences and a few newcomers are invited to give it a try afterwards. The stories revolve around a theme that is picked from the last storytellers night audience. It's a unique experience as it's a mix between reading poetry and stand-up comedy. In fact some of the storytellers have a comedy background, so they make natural and engaging talkers. The atmosphere is very relaxed and the audiences are very friendly and supportive of the performers. It's always packed and they have a bar with beer, wine and soft drinks, so you can mingle and hangout between and after the performances. You also have to try their thick, hearty, delicious soups..Entrance is free so Mezrab is an affordable, popular, enriching night out. In the Eastern Docklands section of town. Tram 26 and a short walk easily gets you there. Please watch our vid for a better impression: https://youtu.be/GAHv9sUQ1k0 read more
