Catering areas and streets

When you walk out of the Heuvelpoort car park, you’ll find yourself right in the town’s central square: the Heuvel. Here you’ll find pubs and restaurants, and the rest of the town is no different. Tilburg has a very wide range of dining options; there’s something for everyone.

A hill as a central square
Historically, the Heuvel has been the heart of Tilburg, and the square still holds a special appeal. The distinctive statue of King William II watches over the square and its visitors. When the weather is fine, children play amongst the fountains whilst their parents watch from the terraces.
Long nights on the Korte Heuvel
From the central square, De Heuvel, the rainbow zebra crossing takes you straight to another street packed with bars and restaurants: the Korte Heuvel. This street has a very high concentration of pubs and restaurants. On both sides of this low-traffic street, there are outdoor terraces where people enjoy drinks and meals all year round. From traditional pubs to dance cafés, you’ll find it all here. Polly Maggoo, for instance, is renowned for its excellent burgers, whilst across the road at restaurant L’Olivo, the cuisine is of Bib Gourmand standard. At LIVE! Pianobar, you can dance the night away to live music.
Outdoor seating areas on Piusplein
On the other side of the Heuvelpoort car park, you’ll find the bustling Piusplein. The outdoor seating areas on this square fill up straight away as soon as the first rays of sunshine appear. Many students quickly find their way to cafés such as Brandpunt and Bolle, where Guus Meeuwis recorded his hit ‘Het is een nacht’. But the tasting room at Café Hoegaarden and the brand-new ’t Taphuys are also well worth a visit. Do also pop into the specialist cigar shop Havana. This family business has been around for 100 years and the façade has hardly changed in a century. As a specialist shop amongst the hospitality venues, it holds a special place on Piusplein.
Something for everyone on the Paleisring and Stadhuisstraatje
Turn the corner and discover the Paleisring, where old favourites and newcomers stand side by side in harmony. You’re bound to enjoy yourself – it’s no wonder that the eatery ’t Elfde Gebod preaches this: whether it’s good food and drink or a spot of dancing, you can do it all here. Sample a variety of gin and tonics and cocktails at Gin Fizz, enjoy American cuisine paired with matching beers at The Cat’s Back, watch English football at Ruby’s Irish Pub and have a dance at the party bars along this street of bars and restaurants. A little further on, at the foot of Heikese Church, you’ll find Stadhuisstraatje. From the cosy traditional pub Van Horen Zeggen to the party pub De Boekanier: here, visitors to the street come together to celebrate one big party!

Discover even more of Tilburg
The lively, convivial atmosphere is everywhere in Tilburg, so you really mustn’t miss a visit to one of the city’s food and drink squares. From the Heuvel, Tilburg’s other lively areas are also easily accessible. Take, for example, the Industrial Railway Zone, the the bustling Piushaven or whether it Dynamic Dwaalgebied.
