Slip into Mezrab, a hidden storytelling den in Amsterdam-Oost. Settle in with a cheap beer and a bowl of soup while storytellers from around the world hold the room with live tales.
Full description
Mezrab is a small cultural centre in Amsterdam-Oost built around live storytelling, with improv nights and other shows alongside. Reviewers describe a living-room atmosphere where people from many countries share tales, and the bar keeps prices low, including a signature Iranian lentil soup.
The format is informal and participatory rather than polished theatre, which is exactly its draw. Events run in the evening and late into the night, and the venue is closed on Mondays.
It suits travellers who want an unusual, social night out among locals and expats instead of a conventional show.

I also love the adasi (Iranian soup), saffron ice cream, and saffron beer, which I highly recommend. It’s a great place to meet new people and make new friends,…
