Ledig Erf is on a busy square at the edge of the old part of the city, where the old canal meets the city fortifications. It has some attractive art deco stained glass windows and is a bit surreal. We sat under what looked like a huge pale green mushroom and had a bite to eat. The food is fairly limited but we were hungry and ordered toasted sandwiches which were a bit pricey and rather ordinary. They have 7 taps and about 30 bottles, all listed on a peg board with the lettering on little blocks of wood like children’s building bricks and difficult to read. There wasn’t anything particularly special unless you count the “Longneck”, chosen by Simon as he’d never heard of it and thought it might be interesting, but it turned out to be a standard Heineken. It provided some amusement, anyway. (Visited 22 September 2011).

Visited a while ago after attending a symposium opposite of this bar. It was raining heavily so I didn’t use the terrace. Small bar, sober interior, a bit dull atmosphere, not very extensive beer list. Had a Christoffel Blond from tap for a decent price. OK place I guess, nothing to write home about either.

Very nice if the sun shines and you can find a spot. No need to go here for the selection, which is limited. However, on a warm summer evening I only need a Weihenstephaner, so no biggy.

Nice, sort of ’cosy place’. Small. Not a special selection of beers, but you can drink a decent Belgian one. Terras was inviting. Prices oké.

Good atmosphere, but a quite limited selection of beers.

Nicely located next to a canal and a square. Has a nice outside patio. Average selection and no special ones. Strangely enough only 6 beers on tap, and no local beers, even though Utrecht has de Leckere and more. Enough space during the day, seem to be a lot of students. Paid 3,20 for a tapped Zeezuiper

Nice place to have a beer. Not too special brews, only the monthly T.A.P. draft is interesting. Still nice to visit when going to Bert’s Bierhuis beershop. When crowded it gets too fuill.

A bar in the South of Utrecht’s center that attracts mostly students. Pretty laid-back interior with dark lighting even during the day, but the terrace is wide and welcomes a lot of people in this theater and canal district. The selection is good, if not great. You may not get many new beers here, but there should be something that you feel like drinking. I had an excellent Weihenstephaner Vitus.

The friendliest place in Utrecht, great terrace and service and good selection of beers.

This is a tourist kind of place with a decent beer menu (including Lapin Kulta from Finland and De Leckere beers).
