This place is already known amongst locals for being overpriced on pretty much anything, so it's no wonder that the crowd here consists of (wannabe) "rich" d-bags who think they own everything and everyone.
For example;
*Peeing in the corner of the ladies room instead of on the toilet which was clean and easier to reach.
*Leaving tampon wrappers everywhere instead of placing them in the easily reachable and empty bin.
*A man who after leaving the toilet did not dry his hands, but walked into the bar and splashed his hands dry on our group with an "because I own the place" attitude. And of course no apologies, though we made our outrage very clear but mister just kept on walking. I suppose we should be happy he at least washed his hands?
*Not being able to order at the bar "because we'll send someone over to take your order" and then not seeing someone for at least fifteen minutes, suddenly still receiving the order placed at the bar, the server walking away immediately and just before we were going to leave without paying (because we were so appalled by everything here) suddenly a server appeared to collect our money that they did not deserve to have.
The only thing this place has going for it is that there's a huge table inside with a million or so newspapers and magazines and the douchebags don't show up until somewhere in the late afternoon. That means that an overpriced lunch here is still a sort of option. Sort of, because during the day you can still expect to wait and wait and wait for someone to come take your order. And you're not waiting because they're actually busy doing their job...
In conclusion:
~Beer is cheaper everywhere.
~Food is better (and cheaper) in a wide variety of nearby spots.
~Service is better in most places.
~Crowd is better in a jail full of rapists and murderers.
So pick any spot in Utrecht, just not this one. read more
