I liked this bar, lots of locals except your female bartender who wanted to apparently talk crap about me to a local about how much I was drinking.

I was going to go with four stars but then I realized Gunnery's is perfect! From the warm welcome…read moreof the gentleman behind the bar to the correct pour of a Guinness (heck them at is worth two stars alone!!!) and a fair selection of whiskies. Nothing too unique but the traditional Jameson and Tullamore Dew but also some of their Scottish friends (laphroiag and glenmorangie) and even an American cousin in Four roses. Several televisions to enjoy whatever sporting event is the "must see" event and a couple of dart boards at the back. I did not sample anything from the small menu but the owner (?) did walk around with a tray of what I thought were biterballen but was infact not full of mystery meat at all but some Asian noodle, good and on the house as well :) So to say the least and enjoyable experience and already recommended to some American colleagues. :D

My hubs had the Gunnery Burger & that did not disappoint either, as he is not a lover of seafood. Good choices for all tastes here! On a side note, as a retired US Navy Chief, i noticed immediately that the woman next to us put on her coat, a Navy Peacoat, with her CTI crow on it! We were all shocked & surprised that we both served, and happened to be in this little pub far from the states!

Bar De Molen...there isn't anything particularly exceptional I can say. But its a pleasant and…read morecomfortable place to enjoy some drinks while watching the water and people that whom walk by for you to judge. The bar woman was friendlier than your average European bartender. Best of all I bought a round draft beers for me and my three bestfriends, and it all cost me just under €20.

It looked dead and we decided to move along. A half block later something strange happened as we felt a cosmic pull back to the bar. Turning around we went in and the rest of our life changed. Cafe de Singel turned out to be a singularly special moment in our trip to Amersfoort. So much so that I hesitate to write this as it is someplace we want to hold dear to our hearts and not really share..... This Brown Cafe transcends the typical and elevates itself into it's own category. Replete with the standard dark interior, eclectic decorations (this time of antique flying machines) and an under spoken street scene what opens up inside can only be described as pure gezellig. To put it simply we stopped in for a drink and ended up spending 3 1/2 hours here, made at least 15 new friends and not only learned the low down on Amersfoort but listened to great music and had a kick-ass good time. We were happy and will be back. PS The bar snacks are outstanding.

This was a very strange experience for my wife and I. We walked in and were politely asked to pick…read moreany open table. We did and then after 15 minutes we still didn't have anyone stop by. So then I went to the bar to order some beer. And yet again, no service. Why? It was very confusing. I rarely write a bad review but I couldn't let this one slide. So my recommendation is find any where else to eat and drink.

The atmosphere is really relaxed and you will enjoy your breakfast.
