This place is a very friendly (also animal friendly)and in a quite&beautiful location. We tryed brand pilsener,brand oud bruin and la chouffe beers. Brand oud bruin is famous in Limburg,very aromatic with a caramel flavor,it is very different from the other ones. We like so much this place. I wish there were beer snacks instead of food. A place with character, we loved it!

Eine exzellente Kneipe in Vaals, die bereits seit 113 Jahren als solche existiert. Das Ambiente ist fantastisch, der Service ausgezeichnet und die Bierauswahl sehr gut. Ab und zu finden hier auch live Konzerte statt. Bei jedem Besuch in der Gegend, werde ich auf jeden Fall wieder hier vorbei schauen :)

I was searching for a pub there to have a beer and found this one that is not in the main street. It's cozy and have a good choice of beers!
