Met een collega een tafel gereserveerd om 13u. Komen aan de zaak: zaak gesloten 😨 pas om 14u open. Dit stond niet op de website. Dan maar ergens anders gaan eten. Om 14u toch gaan kijken en luisteren naar het waarom van de verandering in openingsuren. Supervriendelijke eigenaar! Hij wil graag zijn openingsuren aanpassen maar dit gaat niet (Google). Meerdere mensen stonden al voor een gesloten deur! We hebben nog genoten op het terras van een lekker drankje. Bij deze: vermeld duidelijke en correcte informatie om teleurstellingen te voorkomen.

Goede taverne voor gezellig aan de toog te "hangen" met vrienden. En voor een kleine hap te eten.

Nice pub in a nice and quiet part of town. The pub plays good and pleasant music, they have very good beers. The toilet is not bad, but it could be better. The service is not at the required level, they need to be a lot nicer and kinder. All in all I can recommend this place to have a beer and chat with someone.
