Open Activities
Lustrum Opening Party (OPEN)
On October 4th, we’ll kick off our lustrum year with the first event: the Lustrum Opening Party! 🍾
In line with the lustrum theme: ‘Those were the gays,’ we’re time-traveling back to the days of Gen Z Nostalgia with our opening party! We’re taking you on a journey through time with the best throwback hits from the 2010s. From Gangnam Style to Miley Cyrus twerking and the Nae Nae—every dance move is welcome, even if you need a shot or cocktail to pull them off! 🕺
Dress code: Anything goes, as long as it gives you nostalgic Gen Z vibes! Think: your favorite character from a childhood or teen show, that old prom outfit you never wear anymore, or that sporty look or accessory you thought was the coolest back in the day. You could even dress up as a Disney animal for Animal Day!
When: Friday, October 4th, 22:00–03:00
Where: SoHo
Who: Everyone – this is an open event!
Entrance: Free
Will we see you there?

Sing your favorite shanty or relax with a tropical drink for that beach vibe, the sea-related possibilities are endless! Dressing up is strongly encouraged, as always. Come and shell-ebrate!

Salmari & Snorren Open Borrel!
NB LOCATION CHANGE! We have to wait one more week before our new borrel location opens. That’s why this borrel will take place at Keetje Tippel (Korte Reguliersdwarsstraat 1)
Did you know… that ‘snorren’ (‘staches) were actually invented to keep Salmari from spilling down your chin? Just kidding, the only reason we’re combining them is ‘cause it’s fun.
Another fun fact: this would've been our first borrel at our new location. Still a great reason to celebrate! And what better way to mark this momentous occasion than with a shot of Salmari here and a mustache on your lip there? Exactly, there isn’t one. So that’s what we’re doing. And you’ll be there. See you on September 11.
