I had the good fortune of being the one and only patron for the first hour and I sat and talked to the owner, Pieter. This place just has that authentic Irish feel to it. I actually walked a half a mile past another Irish pub that was closer to my hotel to get to this one. Maastricht does not have as much exposure to Yelp, so I actually had to look for a recommendation on another site. That is exactly why I am reviewing this restaurant. Yelpers need to know this place! I enjoyed a Smithwick's on tap. The beer was extremely cold, and the pint was a perfect pour! However, the biggest draw for me was the fish and chips. They are absolutely delicious! The fish is a rather large piece, done right in beer batter. It is also extremely flaky and I consider this a good thing! The pub is also known to be a good place to watch European football. The TVs are hooked up to sound and broadcast in HD. Whether you're looking for a good pint, good food or just to enjoy a football game, this is your place. And let Pieter know that Craig from Yelp sent you!

We've been in Irish Bars all over the world. This one is special. For one thing, it's clean. I mean *really* clean. It's really nicely furnished and decorated.

Prices were reasonable and the service was great. In short, this isn't your run of the mill Irish Pub. I absolutely recommend you check it out.

In an area full of different terraces and restaurants, this one stood out because the menu was easily visible written above the place. I got the Tartufo burger which was delicious!!! Wagyu beef, Truffel mayonaise, tomaat, Parmezaan & rucola!! Yum! Others in my group had the French onion soup, bitterballen (a must when visiting Holland) and some kind of sausage and cheese platter (I forgot the name). The bottom line was that my burger was amazing, and the service was a little slow, but other than that it was a great experience. Great terrace for people watching.

Not sure why we picked Old Dutch from the broad selection of café bars along the square.

The four of us 50 somethings were invisible to Danielle, but she remained friendly and courteous. Luke gave us an education on the local beer and mapped out a good walking tour of the city.

But you can ask for assistance and they'll give you a recommendation. I ended up with the belgian Triple Karmeliet which I really liked. Smooth, but it didn't taste watered down. The second one I got was a local one from Maastricht called Klinker Tripel. I wasn't as big of a fan of it, but maybe it was the direct comparison. It was a relatively warm evening, so we sat outside and the heat lamps kept us warm for most of the night. The thunder and rainstorm that was rolling in was quite something to watch from under the umbrellas, but we stayed dry and comfortable. Service was friendly and quick, and I do see myself bringing my parents here or other guests visiting from out of town.

I applaud the establishment for being able to balance the demographics of its patrons. Restaurant serves standard Irish Pub fare - fish and chips, Shepherd's Pie, Guiness, Jameson, Black and Tan, etc. Serves breakfast also if you're down for some black pudding, fried eggs, and sausage. Ate a surprisingly hearty BLT sandwich with American style, seasoned curly fries. The bacon was thick, the lettuce was crisp, and the mayo came on the side, without me asking (which was a plus). I wasn't expecting the seasoned french fries, as most everything in The Netherlands comes with pommes, or chips in this case. But, the seasoned fries was a great added touch that turned a good sandwich into a great sandwich. Interior of restaurant is spacious and can accommodate the rugby crowd at the bar, while comfortably seating patrons for meals in the rear of the restaurant.

In Den Ouden Vogelstruys is a brown cafe with various claims to historical permanence. Take your pick 1700's...1800's...there's even a canon ball stuck in the outside facade labeled 1670. There are a half-dozen bars on this block all beckoning for your hard earned (or recently converted euros). I have sampled them all and In Den Ouden is by far my cuppa. This time I was not alone and wanted to get a second opinion. Kate was not disappointed. We ordered the 4 cheese plate (Limburger, Brie, goat cheese and bleu). Two wedges of each along with a French roll, 4 slices of fruit and nut bread, apple syrup and a salad of grapes, walnuts and rocket all for $13.50. We accompanied this with her local herbed liqueur coffee and my Le Trapp. We had anticipated this to be a simple bar snack but in fact turned into our lunch of the day. We in particular loved the paring of the apple syrup over the bleu cheese and the Brie on the fruit/nut bread. All was yummy and beautifully presented. This was a perfect meal to linger over and be thankful for your blessings. We will come back.
