Some weekend afternoons they have snacks just because :) It's almost always got a good crowd, sometimes packed at night and hard to find a seat in the small area. Great, rotating beer selection and some whisky to boot. Great staff.

Very cool little neighborhood bar. If you want a chill bar…read more full of locals, this is the spot !! Very casual, no food just booze & good company ! We felt welcomed.

We had much fun at this place. We'd been moving all day with friends, it was bloody hot (38 degrees…read moreCelcius in Holland is HOT!) and we were completely knackered. I remembered this place from earlier days, always loved to go there when I still lived in Houten. It's a typical Dutch restaurant/cafe, everything is brown, cozy and casual. The bartenders and staff where very kind and hilariously funny. Our meals were very nice as well, especially their fries are very good! Me and my sweet - again - went for a green curry, which was on the menu. Previous experience has taught me: when it's not a Thai or Indian restaurant, don't order curry, it's not their specialty! But of course. We did anyway. Pure curiosity. And hungry tummies. And as expected, the curry was good, but not very.. curry like. More like vegetables boiled in a coconut-based sauce with some herbs. But it was tasty nonetheless. Our friends enjoyed their fare as well. I believe they had the tacos and the saté. It was the crown on a very busy day, and the kind ladies of Tapperij de Zwijger made us feel very welcome!

Honestly, any pub that has it's own cat, and a friendly cat at that (which is usually the case…read moresince they tend to be used to lots of people being around) is fairly high on my list of good pubs. Well, actually it's a cafe, but they tend to be somewhat different to what we have in Australia (or the UK). It's pretty cool, and being next to the canal is good as well.

Very solid pub in Utrecht. I heard they got a new owner, and the old one was better, but I like…read morethis place. It's a good anchor on the south Oudegracht and has it's own giant square and patio, so they have events like bockfeest and stuff going on all summer right in front of the pub. Solid rotating tap beer selection. Bartenders are usually nice. The inside is pretty small, so I'd mostly recommend this place in the summer.
