Having popped into Jumbo supermarket for "odds and sods" we spotted this local cafe. Madge ordered wine while Ic and Fic had more Brand beer, in their Eric sized glasses. Cash only. Had a pool / billiard/ bar billiard table the type of which I have never seen. One hole each end protected by two fixed mushrooms each. A group of 8 in a cross shape in the middle. ( found out it is Bumper Pool!) Good 70's music playing. Doubt many tourists find this bar. Excellent service and friendly locals.

What a great place to " taste" the authentic Maastricht hospitality. Family run business, a place that makes you feel welcome! Apart from that you can enjoy your locally brewed beer! Worth a visit if you are visiting Maastricht.

Super gezellige dorpskroeg! Waar een biertje nog betaalbaar is.
