Een goedkoop Cafe, een fluitje bier 1,80 en een flesje Hertog Jan 2,00 euro. Daar word je vrolijk van en een aardige vrouw achter de Bar.

This splendid historical cafe, visited by many locals. The clientèle consists of many regulars. The public is very relaxed the cafe has always public, even on normally dull day in the city. It is one of the most cosy places in Alkmaar. It is recommended for young, middle aged and other groups.

Gezellig en sfeervol cafe. Veel keuzes aan diverse sterke dranken. Diverse soorten Bieren. Kwa eten was er wel het een en ander te kiezen. Vooral de gehaktballen zijn zeker een aanrader. Bar personeel zeer vriendelijk. Zeker de moeite waard om eens heen te gaan.
