De Balie is a political, cultural, theatre- and debate centre with a grand café-restaurant situated at the heart of Amsterdam at the Leidseplein. 

According to The Economist: "De Balie, a cosily chic cultural venue on Amsterdam’s Leidseplein, is the epicentre of Dutch liberal intellectual life."
 
De Balie specialises in a number of territories: art, society, politics, media and cinema, and regularly organises thought-provoking programs. These programs consistently bear the mark of a sharp and deeply analytical character; De Balie leaves no questions of social relevance unasked. Through talkshows, lively discussions, elaborate debates, theatre and cinema De Balie mixes several points of view in a wayward and creative fashion. 

Currently, Yoeri Albrecht is Director at De Balie. 

The most current and up to date agenda is available on the website of De Balie. The De Balie website also offers an extensive database filled with broadcasts, dossiers and articles of previous programs. 

De Balie Grand Café is open 7 days a week, and serves everything, from a solid cup of coffee to an extensive diner.
