But it’s not just the drinks that leave a mark—De Keizerin also features an array of delectable borrelhapjes and tapas that tantalize the taste buds.

Noisy, fun and appropriately crowded. Exactly what you'd expect from a bar. Wine is great, beer is okay. Service is perfect. Next time I will appreciate the cuisine.

Have been to this bar - and you know, it left a great impression. A quiet corner with a good assortment of alcohol and snacks. With a very warm and cheerful atmosphere. You can feel at home here. If we come to Venlo, we will definitely visit this bar.

We visited this bar on a Saturday night, and overall, it was a great experience. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was good. However, it was a bit strange that they only offer small draft beers and not large ones. Also, there is no hot water in the bathroom at all—it simply doesn’t exist. Washing hands with ice-cold water was really uncomfortable. Aside from that, it’s a nice place to grab a drink and enjoy the night!

Heerlijk borrelcafe. Topsfeer, vooral op vrijdagavonden lekker druk. Gemiddelde publiek tussen de 30 en de 60 schat ik... Alleen 4sterren omdat ik geen enkele wijn lekker vind, maar dat is misschien persoonlijk. Verder aanrader!
