The Brokers Bar

The Brokers Bar is a cocktail bar inside the Beurs van Berlage that’s the regular host for Puntocubano’s SalsaD’Cuba on Saturday nights — Cuban casino and timba are the musical focus rather than linear salsa. The room is a bar layout: long counter, seating by a large front window and an open area rather than a sprung dance floor, so space for turns is limited.

Expect a mixed crowd drawn as much by the cocktails and the building’s historic interior as by the music; reviewers note attentive bartenders and a slightly formal entrance. The venue’s Saturday opening hours run late (to around 02:00), and the DJ/party usually ramps up after 22:30 when the bar clears a little. If you plan to dance, come prepared for a social, bar-sized salsa night — arrive early for a drink and a place to stand.
