May 2011 we spend a marvellous night at Oude Sluis in Lemmer. There is no place like that in the…read moreFriesland Area. You will meet the strangest sailing people you can imagine. Oude Sluis is a beer pub. In former times they served a special German beer called Hannen Alt, which is brewed in Düsseldorf. Nowadays they have typical dutch stuff like Amstel at the tap. As we were there (4 sailing friends), a big-boobed girl was behind the counter. Serving beer in high speed. In front of the counter we found people of every age and nationality. A magician walked around and made strange tricks to the customers. We left at 3 in the mornig. This pub is definitely crazy, but we had a lot of fun there. Step in, if you stay at Lemmer.

It looked dead and we decided to move along. A half block later something strange happened as we felt a cosmic pull back to the bar. Turning around we went in and the rest of our life changed. Cafe de Singel turned out to be a singularly special moment in our trip to Amersfoort. So much so that I hesitate to write this as it is someplace we want to hold dear to our hearts and not really share..... This Brown Cafe transcends the typical and elevates itself into it's own category. Replete with the standard dark interior, eclectic decorations (this time of antique flying machines) and an under spoken street scene what opens up inside can only be described as pure gezellig. To put it simply we stopped in for a drink and ended up spending 3 1/2 hours here, made at least 15 new friends and not only learned the low down on Amersfoort but listened to great music and had a kick-ass good time. We were happy and will be back. PS The bar snacks are outstanding.
