    Bitterballens and pint of Grolsch
    Catherine Durkin R.

    The bitterballens were delicious! A mysterious blend of herbs is responsible for the taste. Highly recommend breaking each one apart and giving them a moment to cool down. Also enjoyed a pint of Grolsch and their fish and chips. My companion enjoyed your chicken salad as well.

    I only drank here, so I can't judge the food, but the few hours I spent there were enjoyable. They have free wi fi and plenty of seats outside for when it's sunny. Perfect for people watching as the world goes by. The thing that made this better than most of the average Dam bars is the large beer selection. They seemed to specialise in Belgium beers and had cool glasses or mugs to match each one. I got to try a lovely couple of beers I had never heard of before. I would say this bar is not spectacular, but it is a nice place to spend an hour or two in the sun trying a couple of new beers. Just be willing to wait a bit as the service can be slow.

    Not so hoppy.

    Always a great place to sit outside, drink Belgian Ale, eat good bar food and people watch. Our favorite place to unwind after walking the city all day. Great wifi.

    Great food, beer, and vibe. It's a shame that the waiting staff is so rude to foreigners.

    Food and vibe was good. However, I can't believe how rude this waitress is. She was not overly warm too anyone. However, seemed to go out of her way to be rude to the foreigners in the room.

    Centrally located next to a major camel and tolls. With a great beer selection. Service is fast and friendly. Great place to eat, drink and chill.

    We stopped here for a cocktail. We did not have reservations so we had to wait until something…read moreopened. The server brought over a pinkish liquid and I asked what it was. He said water, so I assumed it was it was tinted from the lighting. When I took a sip it was a flavored water. I asked if it was gluten-free and he was very rude in his response. Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.

    Flying Dutchmen is a really cool spot with great cocktails…read more I visited at 4 PM, shortly after opening, and got a table easily. It's a small space and can fill up quickly. The space is really cool, with some neat lit-up signs behind the bar and antique paintings on the ceiling. I tried a few cocktails and they were all tasty. These included the Flying Dutchmen -- their signature cocktail -- and the Umami Margarita. I was a bit hesitant about the Dutchmen because it was with gin and orange, but I liked it a lot. The margarita was unusual with some mushroom dust on the rim. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

    Thanks to Iago from NJoy, we heard about this soeakeasy and decided to check it out. Reservations…read morerecommended. Carlota who answered the doorbell, was able to accommodate us at the bar (our preferred seating anyway). She took our coats, placed them in the coat closet up front and led us inside. Once seated, we were given gorgeous ruby red complimentary aperitif (hibiscus, honey, ginger). The drink menu is interesting, based on the concept of growing up, with more basic tastes to start and more mature complex tastes later on in life. (The drinks are more complex the later in the menu). I ordered the Awake at Last, and my husband ordered the Ruby Stone. Mine was sweet and coffee flavored and his was more tart and sour cherry flavored. When I tried his drink, I immediately felt nostalgic because it reminded me of umeboshi (pickled plum in Japanese food), so we ended up trading drinks. Both were great for supping. Sitting at the bar was fun, watching the bartender at his work. He was silent, focused, skilled, professional. So glad we checked it out! I didn't post pictures of the entrance or inside because I'll leave it to you to discover! (The fun of a speakeasy).

    This place is a speak easy where we found the hidden door and rang the bell. We didn't have…read morereservations but they let us share a booth for 45 mins. They brought us a welcome cocktail to cleanse the palette and explained the menu. The servers/bartenders were very knowledgeable regarding what drinks could be made GF. I ordered the Danonino - it came with three different flavors. It was sweet but really good. Will def come back and try other drinks! Highly recommend.
