The server forced us to leave our seats and convert the floor to dance floor. I saw him literally push away people sitting on stools and asking them to just stand after 11pm. When we asked him if we could keep one stool since one of us has back issues and would like to sit once in a while, he just replied that the place ‘might’ get busy later. We were in utter shock and left after this encounter. Would have loved to stay there for a while.

This place has a 2pc live band. And also they served Dutch food. U can enjoy the outside breeze or sit inside enjoying the live band. But no smoking inside ya.

I did nothing, just wanted to order, but the guy in the bar made me 5 drinks what I didn’t even asked, and said I had to pay for it or the security will take me out. I had to pay for it if I didn’t wanted to get beat up. Congrats guys. Very good policy.
