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!

Enjoy the atmosphere and want to help out? Join us as a member! The Vestingbar runs on enthousiastic student volunteers, and there’s always room for new staff. Training included!
