Arnhem's nightlife centres on the Korenmarkt and the streets around it. The small square packs in more places than you would expect.
Cafe de Beugel is a proper Dutch bruin cafe that serves its beer exclusively in old-fashioned swing-top bottles (beugels). No pints here -- just bottled beer and brown-cafe atmosphere.
Bloopers on the corner of Korenmarkt and Pauwstraat is a popular party cafe with dance and swing music.
For clubbing, the Manhattan and Opera are both on or near the Korenmarkt. Manhattan leans toward dance music; Opera ranges from Top 40 to house depending on the night.
Brazzon (Nieuwstraat 66) is a gay cafe with a friendly atmosphere and good music.
