Mezrab

Mezrab is Amsterdam’s storytelling gem, where tales come to life in a cosy, eclectic setting. The interior is filled with cushions on Persian carpets, an inviting mix of chairs and couches, and a buzz of anticipation as people find their spots. The evenings kick off with drinks and mingling before diving into a world of stories, each one around ten minutes long, often accompanied by live music. It’s a feast for the ears and the soul, with a welcoming host guiding you through each narrative. Beyond storytelling, Mezrab blends art forms like dance, visual arts, and poetry, making every visit unique. The vibe shifts seamlessly from an intimate storytelling session to a laid-back café, perfect for chatting and reflecting. With around 300 events annually, including at festivals and other venues, Mezrab isn’t just a place to hang out—it’s a unique place with an ever-evolving community of storytellers and listeners.
