On the modern nightlife front this tiny one-room bar in the Red Light district can hardly compete with neighbouring sports bars and coffeeshops. It offers no TV, no internet connection and no ganja. People here actually have to talk to one another to pass the time while sipping one of dozens of traditional jenevers that line the walls of this ancient bar and this is precisely why we like it. The barman wears a necktie and offers a smile and a chat to anyone who comes in not to mention a boiled egg from the bar – a local tradition. You can also have a beer here, but enjoy this endangered slice of the past before someone opens a kebab joint or a sex shop here.
