The Vestingbar is the friendliest student bar in Enschede, right on the UT campus. Open for six days a week for good vibes, and cold beers. From fun theme parties to massive campus events like the Kick-In and Batavierenrace, or just a chill drink with your friends, there’s always something going on.
Want to host your own party, graduation drink or meeting? Book the Vestingbar and make it yours for the night!
