Café Ledig Erf

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).

Chess- and beercafe. Very light, small and mostly crowded. Selection is OK, Utrechts Bok available.

This cafe organises together with bert’s bierhuis some beer-evebnts through the year, like the utrecht’s bokbier festival, the beermarket. Good selection. Mostly belgian ales.

Update: July 2005. The owner of Ledig Erf has sold his bar. Now, the interior has become more classy and trendy, the chess-players have gone. But still they offer good beers and the atmosphere is still good, though different from before. Last month (dec 2003) they had Trois Pistoles on tap, so i guess their selection is quite ok! The seasonals in this bar are one of the main reasons to go. Always a good variety on tap. Ledig Erf is a typical game playing cafe: around you people are playing chess, backgammon or other games. Quite crowdy, though quite silent, bar and not much place to sit.
