The smell of beer-soaked floorboards, stale cigarettes and an unidentifiable slightly fishy odour assaults your nostrils the minute you step in, although the warm and cosy wood panelled interiors are a welcome respite from the winter cold. Some would say it gives the place character. Despite this, it is a nice pub with an astounding variety of local and mostly Belgian beers, surprisingly good Dutch food and you stop noticing the funky smell after a while.
