About
Korte feiten: Dark stone walls and low ceilings create an atmosphere like stepping back beneath the city streets where secrets and stories quietly linger. Glasses clink above while echoes of history whisper through narrow tunnels once used for smuggling and refuge.
Hoogtepunten: A rare candlelit corner reveals graffiti from 18th-century patrons, etchings that survived centuries of revelry and rebellion. The pub's cellar hosts an annual ghost tour that weaves ghostly tales with real local legends, lighting up faces with a flicker of fear and fascination.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as flooring can be uneven and low-ceilinged passages require cautious walking.
- The candlelit cellar corner is perfect for moody photos but avoid flash to preserve the ambiance.
- Arrive early to skip the busiest times around closing hour when it gets crowded.
- Join a guided tour for richer stories; skip peak weekends for a quieter, more intimate experience.
