One of the best things I've done in the Netherlands, and definitely one of the best in The Hague…read more I came in on a quiet time during the week and Denise not only got me set up in the museum garden with a tasting, but she kept checking in on me and helped me make decisions on some gifts to give friends. You'll enjoy the tastings, the history, and the sweet and tranquil atmosphere of the garden. You might also get some attention from a very friendly cat seeking lots of petting. :-)

I'm sure Van Kleef gets compared to Van Cleef allthe time and for good reason.....Van Cleef offers…read moregems of the highest quality and Van Kleef offers brandys of the highest quality Mr & I cane over to sample their Janever & were very happy to see their huge menu with all kinds of flavors and aged in a variety of ways We chose a sample of five to share and ranged from young to old. The Mr preferred the one in the middle as it was the perfect ratio of smooth and biting all at the same time Loved the dark woods of the furniture and bar and the copper stills where they make the brandy were a wonderful addition to see out in the open like that Great place to discover new brandy!

Hands-down my favorite wine store in Den Haag. All of the wines are organic/biologisch, of solid…read morequality, and very reasonably priced. The store has a rustic, minimalist and relaxed atmosphere while retaining a very broad and unique selection of quality wines. Run by a couple of neighborhood locals, who have personally visited several vineyards from which their wines originate, the service is top notch and the owners are very mindful of flavor nuances. On a number of occasions, I have received helpful advice on how to best pair the wines with specific meals, both vegetarian and meaty. The unique selection of biologisch/organic ports and specialty drinks is another feature of this establishment that sets it apart from other stores in The Hague.

This is a great wine & liquor store inside the Mariahoeve shopping center. While their selection…read moreof Gins leaves a lot to be desired (I was bummed out that they didn't have any Hendrick's Gin) they did have quite a nice selection of Bourbons. Now granted, I'm in Holland so one would think I should be drinking Genever instead of Gin, right? ;) Still, this is a nice and convenient store and they have a vast selection of red, white and rose wines as well. You can get a card for 10% off as well.

Being a smaller shop I didn't really expect much but what this smaller shop had was a better…read moreservice and something nice about it. Besides the basics of a liquor store being well stocked, this one is stocked mediocrely but I fount what I was looking for and that was a beer set of beers from different countries. I needed a gift basically for a friend I was meeting and it served perfectly. What else was perfect was that it was also closing time. Most business owners will say that's it and kick you out but these guys were nice enough and say we are closing but hurry up and they'd accommodate my purchase. The guy helping me even took the time to answer which beer he'd recommend over the other. I asked for a gift wrap and it was a nice Gall & Gall wrap, well the thin paper kind but it was presentable. As for service and being decently stocked but not overly so, Gall & Gall gets all four of my dumbs up.
