There are unique things all over the walls and flags from different countries. The 12 of us took over the entire place, which had 4 high top tables along with 4-5 chairs at the bar.

The staff is unbelievably rude -- not "busy-night" rude, but straight-up dismissive and annoyed that customers even exist. Ordering a drink felt like I was inconveniencing them, and the attitude alone was enough to make me want to leave immediately. The bar itself is filthy. Sticky floors, dirty surfaces, and an overall grimy vibe that makes you question how often (if ever) anything gets cleaned. It's not "dive bar charm" -- it's just gross. On top of that, the drinks are insanely overpriced for what you get. Weak pours, zero effort, and absolutely not worth the money. You're basically paying premium prices to be treated poorly in a dirty environment. The atmosphere is just awful -- uncomfortable, unfriendly, and completely lacking any redeeming qualities. There are plenty of better bars where you can actually enjoy yourself without feeling disrespected or disgusted.

They were playing American alternative and rock music there. Anyway, cold shots of Jager on tap and Budweiser bottles, fully loaded! The end.

The guy bartender could be a bit more acknowledging to patrons, wasn't that busy at the time but whatever. They were training a new girl too and she seemed nice. Cold beers & good price! Cheers~

A couple years ago, the fiancé heard about this place from some locals. Apparently, the previous…read moreowners left the location vacant for a long time and the people who run this restaurant used to be squatters. After some difficulty, they were eventually able to purchase it. Very interesting. I was intrigued... So we wondered in to what felt like a dive bar, only to discover that it's a vegan restaurant and frequently hosts live concerts in the back, some for free. They state their mission on the menu: to serve yummy food free of animals and dairy products, and to expose their community of young college students to the idea of veganism, as it is not yet very popular. On the board above the bar, they list their specials, and I ordered one for dinner: the daily dish. It consisted of bean and vegetable stew, spicy rice (it wasn't really spicy), corn on the cob, guacamole, and a side salad... 7.5€! Even if it had cost me twice that amount, I would still be talking about it. It was delicious! It absolutely convinced me that vegan food can be pretty amazing. (I've certainly had my fair share of vegan food in Los Angeles, and it almost always had me wishing I chose something else: Elf Café, Cru, Real Food Daily... Gag me with a spoon.) I don't know what they did to those beans and that tempeh, but it packed a mighty punch of flavor and deliciousness! Bonus: it was super duper cheap! If I were sticking around for longer than a week, I would definitely come back.

I live around the corner from this uber dive bar and I never discovered until the month that I'm moving from Amsterdam!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! But fret not my Yelp friends, my misfortune can be your gain! If you like really divey squatter-ish local bars, with spinning lady mannequin heads, pinball machines, stuffy small smoking rooms, and a small floor for Interpretive Dancing, this is your place!!! So put on your shimmering silver leggings, fox fur scarf, lumberjack hat and come on over for some beers. This is one sexy vrouw in de buurt dat jij moet kenen!!! P.S. If you prefer taking shots, loud drunk screaming people, and smoking too much weed, you best stick to the main streets of the Red Light.

I didn't appreciate the attitude from the service here. Ended up ordering a cider since we were committed to staying there since my friend had got a drink that was quite large. The cider was fine but my friend remarked the beer was crap.
