Will go back to try more of the wines. Given the link w/ restaurant Pastinaeck - just across the square - this is a great place to wait for your table or just unwind after the meal. Recommendation; the Grüner Veltliner.

The best cocktails in town if you ask me! They have the biggest cocktail menu and they even have…read morebig bowls and buckets they fill with a specific cocktail to share. You can also ask the waiters to fill a big bowl with a different cocktail. The prices are lower than avarage. The atmosphere inside is very cozy and they usually have good music playing in the background, at night they turn the music a bit louder. Outside they have normal tables and chairs but also lounge couches with heaters. The service could be better though. It's often quite slow!

The elegant and expensive decor combined with…read moredesigner clad and perfectly coiffed clientele left me sure I'd be ordering a very expensive glass of wine, nursing it, then beating a hasty retreat ASAP. When I opened the massive leather bound wine list, I was amazed. You can get lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc or pilot noir for €4. The rest of the wines are between 5-7 by the glass, with sparkling white wine for €4 as well. Bargain! They have loads of bottles at both everyday and special occasion prices. Someone has put a lot of money into the decor here, it feels very decadent and luxurious. You can also get charcuterie plates. The staff are very warm and friendly, even to scruffy types like myself. A real find among the overpriced Den Haag bars.

Wijn and Ko - what else would you need...I have to say that I need a bit more, especially when…read moregoing out to have some nice wine with nice food. Went there with a small group of fellow yelpers. The place was newly opened in a new location. Wijn and Ko doesn't have an ambience of a restaurant or a wine cellar, but more like a big open bar place..I wasnt very impressed with the interior. What about the wine - they have a very big selection of different wines per glass or only per bottle. The prices are pretty steep and they start with 3.75 Euro and quickly go up. I had some wine for 3.75 or 4.75 and they were ok, however I had better and for a lower price. I tried a really nice one for 5.75. It was a good wine, but the price quality wasn't that great. If talking about the food. We had a big meat platter to share and vegetarian platter. They were ok, nothing too fancy and also quite pricey I must say. Later we found out that they also had a special 3 course menu offer for 25 - which sounded like a good deal. We went for dessert only option - creme brullee and cheese platter - they were pretty nice. Service..ah..this is a part that is the cherry on the top and it either makes this a good place or not. The waiter who was taking care of our wine orders wasnt very service oriented. He would bring the wine to men first and then serve the ladies. What even shocked me a lot more..was that they should know what temperature the wine should be served at...When commenting that my red wine was way too cold - negroamaro is not served chilled...he said that it will warm up..right..maybe after 2 hours of warming it with my hands..Luckily owner of the place had a different service approach and exchanged it right away. Did I like this place? It was ok, but because I was in a great company. Would I go back there? I am not sure.
