Hans and Marianne's Brown Café

A Fun Café Experience with Character at Café Hans and Marianne

Some cafés are just cafés. And some cafés have a soul. Café Hans en Marianne definitely falls into the second category.

This is the kind of place where you walk in for “just one drink” and suddenly, three hours later, you’re still standing at the bar with a bitterbal in your hand and a story that just keeps getting better. Cozy, warm, a touch quirky, and exactly what a good Amsterdam café should be.

At Café Hans and Marianne, it’s all about the atmosphere. No stuffiness, no complicated fuss—just good food, tasty drinks, and a place where everyone feels right at home. Whether you’re stopping by for Friday afternoon drinks, a spontaneous dinner, a birthday party that runs just a little too late, or a company party where your coworkers suddenly turn out to be surprisingly good at karaoke.

A café that you can also simply rent out

And that might just be Amsterdam East's best-kept secret: Café Hans en Marianne is also available for hire for parties, birthdays, and events.

Yeah, really. Your own café. Without having to wash the glasses yourself.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday where your friends sing just a little louder than you'd like, planning an anniversary celebration, organizing a company get-together, or looking for a private dining experience with character—you've come to the right place.

Consider:

• Birthday Parties

• Company Social Gatherings

• Private Dining

• Anniversaries

• Networking Events

• Informal meetings

• Friday Afternoon Drinks with Ambition

• Parties that “were supposed to stay low-key”

Spoiler: That rarely happens.

Why Amsterdam East Loves to Hang Out Here

Amsterdam East has plenty of places to grab a drink, but few venues offer the same combination of atmosphere, flexibility, and character as Café Hans and Marianne.

Here, you won't find a run-of-the-mill room with fluorescent lighting and a plate of dry cheese cubes. You'll find a real café. A place with personality. A space where people linger because it just feels right.

And that's exactly why it's perfect for groups. From small, intimate dinners to larger get-togethers and private events: everything here feels relaxed and natural.

Good food, good wine, bad dance moves

Let's be honest: a good party depends on two things. Food and drinks.

Fortunately, we’ve got that covered here. From appetizers to elaborate dinners, from fine wine to beer that’s cold enough to make you forget your ex—everything’s taken care of.

And once the party gets going? Then bad dance moves aren't just allowed—they're practically mandatory.

Book Your Party

Want to celebrate a birthday without any stress? Organize a company party that people will still be talking about months later? Or just a place where you and your group can really get together and have a good time?

Then Café Hans and Marianne is exactly what you're looking for.

Get in touch, come get a feel for the place, and discover why so many people walk in as guests and leave feeling like regulars.

And no, we can't guarantee that you'll get home on time. But honestly? You probably don't want that anyway.
