A classic Dutch bruine kroeg in the heart of the old town, with dark-panelled walls, a long bar, and the kind of lived-in atmosphere that takes decades to accumulate. A good place for a jenever or a local beer in the afternoon, when the light through the small windows gives the room a particularly amber quality. The regulars are friendly to visitors in that reserved Dutch way.
Simple bar food is available — bitterballen, cheese, the usual — and the beer selection is better than the décor might suggest, with several Dutch craft beers alongside the standard Heineken.
