Named after the bloke whose statue graces the square outside, this friendly neighbourhood pub is frequented by people of all ages and stripes and is known for its impressive beer selection and huge, yet casual terrace that instantly quadruples the bar’s capacity each summer. The interior is pure bruin café with a long bar that is only knee-high on one side. No matter, tiny stools were added to compensate for the lack of altitude. A huge cupboard is stocked with board games from checkers and chess to Risk and that old school classic – Boggle. Some snacks, sandwiches and breakfasts can also be had and wi-fi is available, but bear in mind that Thijssen only accepts cash.
