This famous old Dutch pub was once a refuge for homesick Dutch sailors, then later became a rallying point for the Dutch Resistance during World War II.
Dotted with retro beer ads and faux Dutch Masters, it now attracts punters savvy about their Benelux brews, with taps offering the likes of Hoegaarden, Lindeboom, Franziskaner, Früli and Leffe. The bottled options fill one of the venue's natty menus: Kwak, Delirium Tremens and Chimay all come in their own logoed glasses, although the gift-wrapped Bacchus is pretty enough without.
The food menu mixes English and Dutch cuisines, along with the kind of bar snacks - bitterballen, loempia - you might find in any Amsterdam café.

I went here yesterday based on its appearance in TimeOut London 2012.
It was completely average. The staff were nice enough but I certainly wouldn't go as far as to recommend this place.
A once unique London watering hole, famed for it's range of Dutch and Belgian beers and food, has been taken over and ruined by Nicholsons. There are still a few foreign beers, but the food is 'pie and chips' now. Just like any other tourist pub in the area with surly staff and best avoided. Atmosphere gone too. What a shame.
The staff was rude and unprofessional. They also refused to serve a customer despite having valid ID. As an experienced bartender, I would not suggest coming here.
Great selection of beer, but let down by very rude and obnoxious staff who clearly have no clue what how to provide customer satisfaction. Not coming back.
