Overview

De Nieuwe Anita is a place where artists of all colors can live their dream, a relatively small stage for starting or touring musicians, try-outs, stand up comedians, film screenings, literary nights or lectures, we provide a cosy atmosphere and a great audience. Although we try to keep an alternative profile, we are a well known venue throughout the city and beyond. The fact that more and more little places like this end up closing makes it even more relevant to stay active and creative. We started Nieuwe Anita basically in 2001, with literally underground parties in the back area. In 2005 we got the chance to rent the front bar, this made it possible to organise even more events, big and small, and more frequently. The goal of Anita is to be a safe haven for all, musicians, artists, but also visitors of all nationalities and genders.
