How old do you have to be to get into bars/clubs in Eindhoven?
Im 18, but my friends are only 17. I know its 16+ to buy wines and alcohol but wasn’t sure about entry to clubs or bars ..

I haven’t been out in Eindhoven but I should imagine it would be little different to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and other cities in the Netherlands, and in which case mainly it will be 18, and at least for Amsterdam there are also some clubs which are 21 and even 25. There are some which may be 16 but the crowd will be 16’s as well (good if you are also this age I suppose!)
The thing is, yes at 16 you can drink wine/beer but only up to 15% proof (alcohol content) and you can only drink spirits >15% proof at 18, so most nightclubs don’t want the hassle of having to check the age with each purchase and just check at the door one time.
The goodish news is that it seems that Eindhoven is more bar/pubs than club orientated and In Eindhoven the pubs are opened until 04.00 hours on Fridays and Saturdays. On other days they close at 02.00 hours, so there will be enough places for your friends to be able to go and not to worry about not being let in.
