"Fantastic experience! The bar offers a cozy atmosphere with a blend of rustic and modern decor. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the visit. The selection of local beers is impressive; I particularly enjoyed the ‘Texels - tap’ for its balanced bitterness and fruity aroma. Given the quality of both the drinks and service, every penny spent was worthwhile. Highly recommend for those seeking excellent local brews in a welcoming setting."

"Love my hole in the walls, okay this place is a step up. Small and does the job. Cheap drinks and friendly servers and customers alike. I even like their WiFi."

"Known as the smallest pub in Amsterdam, I love it in here. It’s got a great atmosphere, good beer and lovely staff. A tight squeeze if you can get a seat inside but worth it. The stairs to the toilets are an adventure themselves, very narrow, steep and if you have a few onboard then potentially tricky at best, lethal at worst. Well worth a visit here."

"Friendly welcome from the lady behind the bar who explained patiently which beer was on each tap. I tried the wheat beer and the dark beer. Both were lovely. My wife accompanied me with a soft drink. As with other pubs I visited in this area, it had a nice charming atmosphere."
