We visit Haarlem about three times a year and this is our usual hangout…read more Great beer, excellent service and good pub grub. Their wings are the best. Outdoor seating when the weather is good is really great. We highly recommend this wonderful pub.

Can't tell you about the food since I didn't eat anything but a nice stop. I walked into a couple of other places (indoor) but there was no one there. The bartender at The Cavern, for example, said that people show up around midnight! The bar/restaurants with outdoor seating were packed, likely since it was a beautiful, warm summer evening. If you like Irish Pubs you will love this place.

I ordered their strawberry tea and it was delicious! In fact, I visited the place the next day just to have the strawberry tea again! You have the choice of sitting inside or outside.

This place had 9 ft (maybe 10 ft) tables and good felt. I did notice that the tables were…read more elevated higher than the ones I've played on in the States. Probably due to the fact that lots of people in Amsterdam are really tall! Nice atmosphere although this place seemed to have the type of people that don't know how to play but act like sharks. You know the type--loud, annoying, ALWAYS in your way when you want to take a shot. No manners. And every shot is a loud and fast miss. Guess these kinds of men are in pool halls everywhere. But there were serious players too! Waffling on 4 or 5 stars because it wasn't perfect for me but it probably would be perfect for most serious players.

The other reviewer left an unfairly critical review in my opinion…read more If you like pool, than this a great neighborhood pool hall. The price for hourly tables was a bit steep but the beer was affordable and they had a good selection of it. The cool, almost hidden entrance is part of the charm and there was plenty of room to play without bumping into other players, despite what that other reviewer mentioned. I thought this place was cool and I had a good time beating my opponent.
