Lekkere dikke friet! Klein maar fijn. Let op. Je kunt alleen contant betalen. Pinautomaat is in de buurt!

Amazing choice of beers and an even beter selection of staff. So friendly and helpful. Nice bar snacks. And reasonable prices. Loved my multiple visits to this place over the 2 weeks I was in Arcen.

Leuk zonnig terras op een prachtig, bijna buitenlands aandoend gezellig plein in het hartje van Arcen. Aardig personeel en een uitgebreide kaart.
