This place is another gem in the category ‘great, old brown pubs of Utrecht’. It has an extra advantage: one of the best-oriented terraces in the city center. Because of its location, this is a great place to catch some sun rays, even as late as November (if the weather is sunny, of course...). Besides that, it features all the brown pub classics: a great selection of craft beers, a big wooden table where old men read newspapers, a very friendly and knowledgeable barkeeper, and a living room atmosphere. Overall, a great spot to watch the world go by.
This is one of my go-to places to have a drink if the weather is sunny. Another pro tip if you’re a sun worshipper like me: Zonopjebakkes is a great website to see which café or restaurant has a terrace where it’s sunny right now, taking current weather, time of day, orientation and shadows from surrounding buildings into account. When sunny weather is as rare as it is in the Netherlands, you have to adapt like the Dutch do...
