Every Monday night at 20:30, Café De Stad in Utrecht hosts Mengvoer, a culture sneak preview of musicians, writers, poets, artists and other local creative types. Entrance is free, and the line-up changes each week. Tonight, they're featuring two Utrecht bands and a short film. If that's not enough to tempt you, they also have excellent beers on tap, and there will be a lot of tasty snacks on offer.

Café De Stad (Lange Jufferstraat 58) is a cheerful, cozy bar, with friendly staff and lots of interesting music and cultural events. It's also just a nice place to sit and relax. You can check out their website for more information about their upcoming schedule.
