Een goed cafe is met uitsterven bedreigd. Hier kun je nog genieten van heerlijke bieren van de tap, die met zorg worden geserveerd.

Erg mooi gelegen biljartcafe in een rustige groene omgeving. Zeer ongedwongen en ontspannen sfeer waar het gezellig vertoeven is. Vriendelijke mensen en dito bediening. Op Kerstdag was er een gratis rondje van croque monsieurs. TV schermen tegen de muur en leuke muziek . Gezellig druk ! Aanrader .
