PAAK Vinyl Bar in Wijk 01 Nijmegen-Centrum

i have dreams about the nachos i had here

I'm based I met my current partner here. Recently went back for our 1 year anniversary and got a free shot when we explained our visit.

I'm so curious about what happens here on a normal Tuesday.

Came for Sunday afternoon day drinking on the sunny terrace, stayed for the samsh burger. Price for Cocktails (6 € - happy hour) and Burger was good. Sweet potatos fries extra and to expensive.

This a gem in the Centre of Nijmegen. My go to for a nice cocktail, good coffee or digging for vinyl in the lovely recordstore by Marini. Good atmosphere and very helpfull and knowledgeable staff

At first glance a fine establishment. But if you look past the front door and take a dip in the fryer, you see that the chicken is not floating there long enough. Cold on the inside, moderately crispy on the outside. All in all a rude awakening. Just as cold as the chicken.

Nice atmosphere, I didn't eat there. Nice, attentive staff too, great!

Good combination of various ingredients; music, atmosphere, vinyl offering and food.

Nice bar! Good atmosphere, will definitely come again.

Good expertise, the bartender can tell everything about what he sells. Furthermore, due to the crowds, it took a little longer for the drinks to arrive, we didn't realize it ourselves, but were treated to a make-up (shots). Great service!

I love this place! The atmosphere is cozy and they play good music, often live. I also tried their smash burger and it was delicious. Highly recommended :)

One stop shop for drinks, food, and a perfect vibe with friends. We had the pleasure of absolutely destroying the smash burger with a fire sauce, good cheddar, and quality meat. If you live in Nijmegen and have not yet been here go. If you’re visiting, go.

There is no other place like Paak. It is the heart of the weekend life in Nijmegen. Whether you want to listen to (and buy!) the best selection of vinyls by Marini Records or dance the night away with local and international DJs, challenge your friends to ping pong or mario kart or enjoy a beer in their terrace while playing board games. Now they also offer a delicious smash burger to go with their famous sophisticated cocktails. Also, the staff is always committed to ensuring customers get the best possible service. Truly, Paak is the gem of nijmegen and there is no other place, in the Netherlands or abroad, that can give you the same amazing vibes!

Cool place with a great vibe. Food was excellent and the staff were very welcoming.

Love the vibe, the music and food. We played some board games and tasted new burger. Fully recommend!

Really nice atmosphere, amazing food and drinks!

What a lovely relaxed vibe here💜

Super good Smashburger in one of the nicest settings in Nijmegen! The combination “burgers & bubbles” is definitely recommended!

Yesterday I ate the SMASH burger with my girlfriend. Besides the fact that I really appreciate the hospitality and friendliness of the staff at Paak, the burger was another bite back to my carefree and wonderful youth of cheerfulness. I've never had such a good burger. Do you want a fun evening, good cocktails and a tasty burger? GO TO PAAK. Oh and they play good music!!

Recently also the best smash burgers in Nijmegen!

A super nice place to have drinks on the terrace during the day (liquid lunch during the weekend!!) or to drink cocktails inside or outside in the evening. They recently also added Smashburgers to the menu and they are also super tasty. And always very sweet and nice staff

Nice free burger, was mega tasty. Nice staff with a nice chat.

Na het heerlijke Japanse biertje hebben wij super kunnen genieten van de lekkere smashburger. Goede kwaliteit producten en tip om de zoete aardappel frietjes er bij te bestellen, erg Nice!

Leuke sfeer en goede muziek maar bovendien een hele lekkere burger en zoete aardappelfriet! Leuke plek om naar toe te gaan als je in Nijmegen bent.

Cool original tent. Really nice

Great place for anything your heart desires! Looking for great cocktails? Paak is your place! Looking for great ambience? Paak is your place! Looking for great music? Paak is your place! Looking for sexy staff? Paak is still your place! Recommendations; Apple Pie Old Fashioned & Boogie Berry MUST VISIT!!

really unique bar in the center of nijmegen. atmosphere was amazing with a vinyl corner and even a table tennis. its must visit for sure, suitable for a date

VERY clean windows, especially the one just before the exit…

A fun place to go out with a group of friends! But also really fun for a first date! A nice and quiet place to sit. and enjoy the live music. If you can't choose from their beer list, just ask, they helped me very well

Super chill place to get a drink, staff super friendly and good vibes

It is a refreshing nightlife spot where a lot of disco and funk is played. A good atmosphere and therefore one of my favorite places in Nijmegen

Large place with nice seating areas. Some records for sale in the back and a DJ was playing. We were there early in the evening, so it was still very quiet.

Good bar with an incredibly well executed concept! Wide choice of drinks and some snacks

Top bar/Vinyl club, this is one of the highlights to visit in Nijmegen during the weekend. Great atmosphere, audience, not to mention the music. Especially because they always have a live DJ playing vinyl. Highly recommended, for guaranteed swinging, pre-drinks, date, games evening, cocktail night, buying records or dancing until late at night.😉👌🏾

Old skool vinyl records from the DJ all evening! Loved it!

I think it's more of a student café. You can choose and put on a record yourself. Employees are helpful and friendly. It will be too busy on Saturday evening and you won't be able to find a free stool.

First time here and we had to come back just to have the matcha cocktail again

We loved the atmosphere and the professionalism of the bar man! The cocktails are truly mixology level art work! Would recommend !

PAAK is taking it to the very next level!!! 🤩 Never have I ever been in such a vibrating and cozy space with music selection undeniably matching my own. Dreaming about getting my own gig in there 🥹 Interior design is top, a lot of attention was paid to details, as well as amazing service. I highly recommend ordering Asahi 🤤 My fav place in Nijmegen from now on ❤️

Super nice atmosphere, board games, plants, vinyl records that are used to play at night. One of Nimma's nicest spots that doesn't feel commercial but like a warm place to be. Now we hope that the menu will contain more organic products :)

Would give 6 stars if I could.... Everything is just really good at this place. the food, atmosphere, the vibe and especially the staff. I was in awe looking at them giving amazing and warm service to my friends. Thank you PAAK.

Liquid lunch, if you are Dutch you will enjoy this (cocktail 5 euros)

Stylish bar, tasty cocktails. Nice that there are many board games.

Nice bar where you can have a drink and relax. This is not only due to the relaxed atmosphere, but also because of the friendly staff who are happy to help you. There are indoor and outdoor seating areas and a few comfortable sofas. In the evening you can go out here until the early hours and dance to the music of the DJ. There is an extensive cocktail menu and they have various events and promotions on the calendar

A very special hip atmosphere. The service was just very slow.

Good atmosphere and appearance and super good cocktails.

Truly a great place to visit! Very nicely decorated and there is even plenty to do!

Place seems nice but I had a bad experience with the staff

Good music Nice staf friendly service 😊 To enjoy in Nijmegen is one of the best

Nice vibes only! Browse pictures and relax during the day, swing with delicious drinks in the evening. The cocktails are heavenly and the DJs enchant with their vinyl collections.

Love the bar. I’ve been a regular client since they opened and I think the place is amazing. However last Friday we had a really bad experience with the service. Our first round came after 40 min and our second cocktails came only after 1 hour and 30 minutes of waiting. Waiter came and told us they will be for free because of the big delay (he even offered a shot of tequila for free after he drop some beer on me, which never came). To my surprise, when I went to pay, the drinks were included. Somehow I got the bill but waited 30 more minutes only to pay. Place is usually busy and that day was busy as usual, but waiters (specially ours) were simply not performing.

Nice atmosphere, delicious drinks

"Open until 3"; I call with a large order, but unfortunately. They are "closed" at half past two. With this big talk, bad service.

Vinyl, nice people, beer and good food. If it’s your thing you will love it, if not I don’t want to meet you.

Best cocktails in Nijmegen and probably the Netherlands. The atmosphere is great, you can tell a lot of heart and thought has gone into the design of the place. If you like house, electric or world music, check out the record collection in the back - you won't leave empty handed.

It's a nice place. Fir of all it was recommended to me by my friend and I will not deny it, it's one of the amazing places to spend Saturday evening . Good crowd Things you can find at this place Crowd - mix of young and 30-40 years people Drinks - alcoholic and non-alcoholic Food - some snacks Boardgames - yess Live music Indoor and outdoor sitting Close to Nijmegen central station just 600 meter walk Unfortunately I was not able to click some photos in this one , so next time I will go there I will surely click some photos and post it for your reference.

Fijne muziek, goeie sfeer, gezellig en ongedwongen, wij komen hier zeker terug! De pingpongtafel en de kast met spelletjes zijn pluspunten.

Nice place and nice staff. Price-quality is disappointing with regard to the New Year's Eve arrangement. For 40 euros we had unlimited wine and beer until 12 noon, and snacks. The snacks were disappointing. This was twice a platter of fried snacks. Then 40 euros is a bit expensive. There were also vegetarian snacks, but they were in a pile with the non-vegetarian snacks. You couldn't tell the difference between the two. Probably because of this I still ate meat...:( had a nice evening thanks!

Very nice atmosphere where lounge, cocktails and vintage come together. Personally, I would do the vinyl corner differently and turn it into a games corner. For the rest, really great and good service who understand what doing a little extra can do

Good music and atmosphere. There are boardgames you can play as well.

Coolest record shop in Nijmegen. Great selection of electronic music on vinyl. The owner is a really nice guy.

Nice bar to grab a drink and enjoy some funky music.

Außergewöhnliches Konzept, Back to 70s and 80s, netter Service, gute Cocktails. Super Bar!

Nicht mein Lokal es gab live Rock musik

Heerlijke sfeer! Cocktails helaas minder: belangrijkste: de smaak, ze lieten even op zich wachten en niet alle ingrediënten waren op voorraad. Volgende keer hopelijk beter!

A bit out of the main area but the cocktails were worth it. Nice relaxed atmosphere, cozy outside area & some good quality cocktails!

Sfeervolle bar voor een rustig drankje en spelletje. Er zijn comfortabele banken en stoelen om op te zitten en veel keuze uit drankjes (ook alcoholvrij)! Het personeel was erg aardig en er waren veel toiletten, dus geen rijen voor het vrouwentoilet! Daarnaast werd er toepassende muziek gedraaid.

Aanwinst voor Nijmegen. Heerlijke muziek, fantastische cocktails en tof personeel!

Harstikke mooi hier, duurt wel lang voordat je bier krijgt

Went here during the zomerfeesten 2023. We had a nice night out dancing to a very well put together DJ set. (Unfortunately, I forgot who the DJ was) Good mood inside the place and friendly people behind the bar. Not too busy when we were there, which was both good and bad I guess.

Op zich een leuke tent in een stijl die Nijmegen wel kan gebruiken. Erg hip en er wordt gedanst. Wij werden alleen ineens tegengehouden aan de deur omdat het "te druk" was. Er werd een vaag verhaal gehouden en het zag er niet extreem druk uit. Iemand van ons zag er redelijk Metal uit (band shirt, lang haar, zwarte kleding etc). Uiteindelijk mochten we toch naar binnen omdat de helft van onze groep al binnen was. Eenmaal binnen was het wel gezellig druk, maar niet zo druk dat je mensen gaat tegenhouden bij de deur. Het voelde voor ons alsof we niet aan de dresscode voldeden en dus eigenlijk niet gewenst waren. Beetje pretentieus. Zet dan op je site dat er een dresscode oid is. Verder best prima muziek en aankleding. Leuk dat er ook echt gedanst wordt. Drinken halen duurde wel lang en het was echt heel erg warm binnen.

Awesome ambience, good music and happy people!

Studio 54, maar dan net iets beter!!

Netjes schoon en gezellig...ga zo door muziek altijd goed....

Wat een ongelofelijk leuke plek! Wij waren met een gezelschap van 12, voor ieder zijn smaak hebben ze een geniale cocktail (Penicillin hands down de aller beste variant op een whisky-sour die ik ooit heb mogen proeven!). Sfeer is lekker los maar het personeel weet wel Precies waar ze mee bezig zijn en dat maakte het voor ons extra leuk. Dank voor een fijne avond, het was fantastisch.

Super gezellig, vriendelijk personeel, aanrader

M’n nieuwe lievelingscocktailbar! Goede cocktails, retro vibe, heerlijke muziek en nostalgisch gevoel met spellen als Jenga 🥰 Aanrader!

Goeie cocktails en lekkere snacks, sfeer was super. Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar

Hip, beetje te hip naar mijn smaak. Maar begrijp wel dat iedereen hier graag komt.

Leuke uitgaansgelegenheid/bar. Je kunt hier goed borrelen, maar wat ik ook heel leuk vind is dat het rond een uurtje of 12/1u redelijk wat tafels weggaan en je kunt dansen. Er wordt leuke discotechnomuziek gedraaid op platen. Goede sfeer. De drankjes zijn soms wel wat prijzig.

Fijne sfeer. Lekkere drankjes top

Tof, hip en trendy, maar ook sociaal en laid back! En de platen en DJ die met vinyl draait zijn een dikke plus! Als ik niet met de auto was gekomen, dan was ik zeker blijven hangen!

Good ambiance, very slow service.

Nice Music, Cocktails and atmosphere

Gezellig, gastvrij en goede muziek!

Mooie zaak en 's avonds goede beats

Mooie inrichting en leuke sfeer. Alleen duurt het echt veels te lang voordat je je drankje krijgt, te druk en te weinig personeel.

Leuke bar. Je kan lekker zitten en dansen wanneer je daar zin in hebt. Er worden ook kleine activiteiten georganiseerd en de sfeer is goed.

PAAK is precies wat Nijmegen nodig had. Deze bar is van veel markten thuis en oogt zeer uitgedacht en professioneel. Je kunt hier heerlijke cocktails drinken van de beste bartender van Nederland: Troy Rondon Guasque! Ook is het aanbod van wijn en bier leuk en uiteenlopend. De keuken biedt allerlei lekkere gerechten in de vorm van streetfood wat gemakkelijk te eten is, ook wanneer het wat drukker is. Het personeel is ook goed ontzettend vriendelijk en werkt hard. Een ontzettend goede bar dus. Een echte aanwinst voor Nijmegen wat zich ongetwijfeld gaat ontwikkelen tot hotspot.

Origineel concept met een hele fijne sfeer, lekker eten en drinken, goede muziek en voor iedereen wat wils. Je kunt lekker loungen of een dansje wagen later op de avond. Daarnaast is het prachtig ingericht!

Het is een bijzonder mooie zaak welke in Nijmegen nog ontbrak.Gemoedelijke sfeer,prachtige inrichting en vakkundig personeel.Een aanrader om de zaak te bezoeken!!!!
