Dating back to the late seventeenth century located in an alley way with stained glass window and amazing interior. The interior is a thing of beauty, not a place you will find people outside of tourists in part due to the beers being priced very touristic, 7 euro for Orval, 6.50 euro for St. Bernardus 12 etc. limited choices. Westvleteren for 17 euro. Essential stop for interior still.

Located on Eilandje in an old warehouse, interior boasts a huge storage / working area, no longer accessible due to insurance issues, assortment of tables, bicycles for sale, art, table tennis etc. Terrace outside, different vibe, eclectic interior and far better prices than in town. Tap is Primus pilsner, Antigoon and a house beer made by Musketeers, probably Jack’s Precious IPA (guessing, people working there didn't know what it was), found it to be awful, beyond what I remember. Luckily there is bottled beer like Westmalle. Good prices, place, more drinkable beer wouldn’t have been too bad.

Visited on early Monday afternoon, some older locals hanging out. Old school brown bar, pre-1950s country and jazz playing. Gorgeous interior, lots of wood, style, and atmosphere. Pub food including classical and some Louisiana etc. themed fare available, vegetarian but not vegan. Fun place to visit, shame beer isn’t good, tap is Leffe, Dommelsch, Karemliet, Beerze,.. Doesn’t get more exciting than Hertog Jan which available for limited time.

Odd place, located on the main bar strip in Eindhoven. Mainstream 2000s hip hop blasting at unreasonable volume for most of our stay with one rock song thrown in. Friendly staff but the music, clientele was very into it as was the staff. Tap is an odd mix of things like Chouffe, Jupiler, Hoegaarden but also things like Jackie O’s & 3 Sons but Eindhoven has gotten insanely expensive and the latter beers can go up to 15 euro for 250 ml. Just way too much for a regular bar visit which was a main issue for me here. Bottle menu is anything from a long list of classic BE beers to 35 euro can of Heady Topper. Very strange place, didn’t really get into it.

Located on the main bar are strip. F1 playing upon visit on multiple screens plus projector. About 10 taps, mainstream choices, multiple BrewDog including a Radler, 10 euro for 500 ml. of Punk IPA. Basic offering of Uiltje, Bavaria, Weihenstephaner, Guinness, Corner,.. Could be a bit more exiting, prices in line with Eindhoven so steep. Cans and bottles have BrewDog, NL but some surprises to be found and more obscure beers beyond the tap selection. Seems decent as a drinking bar.

Massive place, courtyard with wild circus like decorations, paintings, pink and purple accents. Everywhere you look there is some crazy painting or object. No card orders below 10 euro, efficient service. Metal bar / music and a very cool one with some interesting cuts like I heard a Tony Martin era Black Sabbath song, nothing wild but not the usual suspects only. Beer is mix of macro and big brand but they have Orval, Rochefort, Malheur etc. Worth it for the interior alone.

Gorgeous place, big terrace in the place, popular. Brick on the inside, Vinyl setup, music playing was digital but great sound and atmosphere, reminded me a bit of The Big Romance. Retro and modern, dark green and wood, tables, comfy chairs, 1950s vague vibe, bottles adorning the sides. Ordering at the bar which took some time to figure out since there was no indication. 5 taps of very interesting beer Dupont pilsner, Lambiek Fabriek & Norm. Smaller but very interesting bottle and can selection of Arpus, Pühaste etc. Amazingly we found a bottle of BE Gewurztraminer made by the owner blended with Lambiek Fabriek lambiek, 2020 vintage for 25 euro. Which was served bit too cold but amazing. Interesting wine menu, also not big but quality of over quantity here. Really cool place, well curated menu, interior, good music sound and vibes.
