Welcome to Café Pelt

Come in and enjoy an evening full of fun. In a place where time stands still and the beer is always cold.

Meet Café Pelt

Welcome to Café Pelt – the bustling heart of Heerlen, where the tap never stops flowing and the atmosphere is always great. For years, we have been a place where young and old come together for a good glass of beer, a chat at the bar and, of course, a good dose of Heëlesche gemuutligheet (Heerlen cheerfulness).

If you’re bored, then you clearly haven’t been to Café Pelt enough. There’s always something going on here. Our calendar is full of activities and recurring events. Whether you fancy an evening of quizzes, dancing or just enjoying a good drink and a great atmosphere – there’s something for everyone.

About Us

Café Pelt opened its doors on 27 January 1995. Since 1 April 2022, Café Pelt has been run by Arjan Huneman and his partner Femke Miedema. Arjan, originally from Zeeland, and Femke, originally from Friesland, have extensive experience in the hospitality industry.

Arjan succeeded Frits and Kathinka Pelt, after whom the café is named. They have not changed much in terms of the atmosphere and appearance of this traditional pub.

In terms of activities, there is still Noa de Mes, the monthly talk show (presented by Frits Pelt, among others), Remember Femina and the pop/pub quiz. New additions include karaoke evenings and wine and beer tastings.

The small hall can still be used for parties, meetings, etc., but now there is also a (quieter) space above the pub available.

What is and remains is the heëlesche Gemuutligheet!
