Now, you may be asking... is it really the only cafe? Well, no, but it definitely is one of the best! A friend of mine who will remain nameless caught wind of a cafe in town which served our kind of beer at really-really-ridiculously cheap prices. We…More »

Okay, decent place to grab a pint. They have a pretty good selection of local brews. And the atmosphere is slightly above standard pub faire. Fairly attentive staff. Had no problem getting refills (unlike Bier Markt). Overall a pleasant experience.

Great selection of bottled beers at this location. Classy atmosphere and attentive staff. Great for any kind of outing, be it a lunch date with co-workers or a night out with friends. Recommend the St.Bernardus Abt 12 if you want to blow your mind.

This is where I and my friends first got seriously into beer. They have a extensive menu of draft and bottled beers. The atmosphere is what led to us leaving the place for greener pastures. Getting a seat is near impossible after 7:30pm and the place…More »
