Accessibility at Pand54
The building is well accessible for wheelchairs, COC Eindhoven writes, and you can bring a companion. Nothing is published about an accessible toilet; call 040 245 57 00 or email [email protected] before your visit to discuss what you need.
There is also a regularly scheduled tailored activity: the Anders Roze team organises a gathering every last Saturday of the month from 14:00 to 17:00 for lhbti+ people with a disability — meeting others and enjoying a friendly chat in a relaxed atmosphere where you can simply be yourself. Questions and sign-ups: [email protected].

- After a Friday night (till 01:00): NS Nachtnet night trains run from Eindhoven Centraal in the nights following Friday and Saturday — series 21400 towards Utrecht via 's-Hertogenbosch and series 21410 towards Rotterdam via Tilburg, Breda and Dordrecht, hourly until 2 AM — so check NS for the exact departure that night. Other public transport after midnight is limited and varies by day; the station is a 16-minute walk.
Parking at Pand54: permits, street and garages
Parking on the Prins Hendrikstraat itself is for permit holders only; around it you pay Monday to Sunday 9:00–21:00, and the nearest car park is De Bergen, 71 m away.
| Where | Address | Walk | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prins Hendrikstraat (at the door) | Prins Hendrikstraat 54 | — | Permit holders only |
| De Bergen garage | not published | 71 m, about 1 min | Open 24/7, 344 places; rate not shown |

| Witte Dame | not published | 350 m, about 5 min | Not published (separate from the Q-Park garage) |

| Q-Park Centrum De Admirant | Emmasingel 29, 5611 AZ | 463 m, about 7 min | Open 24/7, 347 places; rate not shown |
| Oude Spoorbaan | not published | 475 m, about 7 min | Not published |

- For the bar nights: on-street paid parking runs Monday to Sunday until 21:00, so arriving at opening time falls outside the paid window; the De Bergen, Q-Park Witte Dame, Q-Park Centrum De Admirant and Mathildelaan garages are open 24/7, and where a rate is published it makes no day/evening distinction.
- Cash payment works only at car parks in the centre, not at the machines on the street.
- Cheap alternative: P+R Genneper Parken — in 2026 €1.50 per hour with a maximum of €4 per 24 hours, and with the P+R day rate a return bus trip to the centre costs €0.50 per person.
- The distances are calculated to the location or parking boundary, not measured walking routes; the overview lists the Q-Park garage as 'Garage De Witte Dame' at 435 m and, separately, a 'Witte Dame' location at 350 m.

What is Pand54?
Pand54 is the meeting café of COC Eindhoven and regio: a low-threshold place where lhbti+ people can meet each other. COC itself calls it "the lhbti+ living room of Eindhoven", and the site describes it as the living room of Gay Eindhoven and regio, where people come to meet, to relax and to enjoy — always convivial, and everyone is welcome.
The café has three fixed moments a week: the Sportcafé on Tuesday night, the Gay Ontmoetingscafé on Friday night and the Matinée on Sunday afternoon. Around them, the teams of COC Eindhoven and regio hold their gatherings in Pand54, from the 40+ café to the queer taalcafé.

Pand54: questions people ask
What are Pand54's opening hours?
Pand54 is open every Tuesday from 21:00 to 00:00 (Sportcafé), every Friday from 21:00 to 01:00 (Gay Ontmoetingscafé) and every Sunday afternoon from 15:00 to 19:00 (Matinée). On Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday there is no regular bar night; check COC Eindhoven's agenda for activities then.
What time does an evening at Pand54 start and end?
Bar nights start at 21:00: Tuesday runs to 00:00 and Friday to 01:00. The Sunday matinee runs 15:00 to 19:00. Special activities deviate from these; the agenda lists the time per activity.
Do I need a ticket or membership for Pand54?
The COC Eindhoven agenda names no ticket sales, prices or membership for the regular nights, and its descriptions welcome everyone warmly. When a special activity is listed, its description says what applies.
Is Pand54 only for LGBTQ+ people?
No. Pand54 is the meeting café where lhbti+ people meet each other in a low-threshold way, but the site itself says it is always convivial and everyone is welcome.
Can I come to Pand54 on my own?
Yes — that is the idea: Friday's night kicks off the weekend and is there to meet new people, and on Tuesday you are welcome to spend a relaxed evening with old or new friends.
When is the 40+ café?
Every third Sunday of the month from 15:00 to 19:00: a convivial get-together with adjusted music, extra attention for the guests, a drink and tasty bites. Two team members stand behind the bar and a host welcomes new and familiar guests.
Where can I park near Pand54?
On the Prins Hendrikstraat itself only permit holders may park. Around it you pay Monday to Sunday 9:00–21:00: on Willemstraat (118 m and 167 m) €2.40 for the first hour and €2.20 per extra hour, on Mauritsstraat (199 m) €0.50 per 15 minutes (€0.30 per extra 15) with a daily maximum of €4.50. The nearest car park is De Bergen, 71 m away: open 24/7 with 344 places. Free nearby: Rungraaf, Grote Berg e.o. and Fens-terrein.

Yes. There is a small bike rack at Pand54 itself, and several racks nearby, especially on the Wilhelminaplein.
Is Pand54 wheelchair accessible?
Yes: COC Eindhoven writes that the building is well accessible for wheelchairs, and you can bring a companion.

The Anders Roze team also organises a monthly activity tailored to lhbti+ people with a disability, every last Saturday from 14:00 to 17:00.
Can I eat at Pand54?
Pand54 is a café, not a restaurant: the gatherings come with drinks and bites, as at the Sunday-afternoon café and the 40+ café ("tasty bites"). Eat beforehand if you expect a full meal.
What ages is Pand54 for?
There is no published age limit for the café itself. The groups that meet there span the ages: from Jong&Out and YUNGE (transgender youth) to the 40+ café on every third Sunday and the 50+ team.
