The Stockroom

happners' hot spots

The Stockroom is easy to miss on Oosterstraat, which is part of the point. Behind the entrance sits Groningen's first speakeasy cocktail bar, inspired by the hidden bars of the 1920s. The route inside moves through five different settings: an industrial stockroom, a Roaring Twenties bar, a lounge, a green room and a cellar reserved for the finest spirits and champagne. The bartenders focus on classic cocktails made with premium ingredients and a seasonal twist. It is intimate without feeling staged, and the hidden entrance gives everyone the same first question to answer. Reservations are accepted until 21:00; after that, the bar is walk-in only.

Finding the door was the first shared joke.

Two of us were checking the same entrance and neither was sure. We went in together and compared cocktail choices at the bar.
