Latest reviews from Venlo

“Visited on Thursday afternoon, when the place went from quite to busy filled with groups of people. Nice local selection and big Belgian trappist beers selection. Friendly staff, good pub food. Nothing much here for beer geeks, but a nice local pub.“

“Large combination of grocery store, restaurant and bottle shop near the city Center of Venlo. Parking at opposite Q-park parking garage. A lot of fresh food, including bread, meat, fish and fruit. Also a wine- and a beercorner. Nice selection of local, regional and some Belgian beers. Not a big selection but some harder to find stuff. Prices are good. Friendly staff. Worth a visit for local beers when around.“

“Gorgeously looking brown pub/cafe with a large beer garden outside and religious imagery decorating the walls. 5/5 for style and atmosphere. Modest tap selection but if you're into aged Belgian style beers, they have a dusty bottle collection down below. Friendly staff who seem to enjoy their jobs. I wasn't that impressed with the beer selection, but this place is worth a visit for the atmosphere alone.“

“Lovely, classic brown pub hidden in a narrow street close to the station. Quite spacious, lots of wooden interior, some small tables attached to the walls with stools, a neatly decorated bar area and lots of beer memorabilia on the walls. There’s seating outside as well in a seperate area surrounded by stone walls and fences, looks great overall. About a dozen taps maybe including a Dubbel and a Tripel only made for them as well as quite a few beers from Gulpener, other than that less exciting but solid brews as far as I remember. The bottle list is very classic, Belgian-oriented with only a handful of Dutch micros available. Prices are okay, staff is friendly and attentive. This place is all about atmosphere, it’s probably one of the most authentic brown pubs I’ve been to so far, and since the beer selection isn’t bad at all, I would advise everybody to visit this place if in town. Very cool place, love it!“

“Small liquor store located in the outskirts of Venlo. I was welcomed by the old, very friendly owner of the shop who seemed quite passionate about its business. Rather dark place, looks like an attachment to the neighbouring house, lots of wooden shelves filled up to the ceiling with mainly wine and spirits. The beer selection was rather disappointing though, maybe 30 different bottles? The only beers that were of further interest to me were the house beers of ’De Klep’, but they can be drunken in that bar of course anyway. Decent prices at least, but other than that and the possibility of a nice chat with the owner it’s not really worth a visit for the beer geek unfortunately. Still, a rather unique place that I’m glad to have been to.“

“Modern, vintage and industrial-style craft beer bar with a nice patio in front of it. About a dozen taps and maybe 100 different bottles are available, although the latter are generally widely distributed and not very surprising, apart from the list of about ten bottles that seem to change frequently. Overall a pretty solid and diverse selection though, mostly Dutch and Belgian beers along with a few internationals. The option that stood out during my visit was Ayinger Maibock, I was totally excited to find it here. Snacks are available as well, and the prices are generally fair by Dutch standards. The staff was very friendly and attentive as well and seems to care about its customers. Will definitely come back here if I make it to Venlo again, really liked that place a lot.“

“Beautiful people buying beautiful goods in a beautiful shop... Go there and enjoy this little horror show!“

“No wonder this place hasn’t got any rating for more than ten years. I remember it from my childhood when it was rather cheap compared to German prices, but now it’s not anymore. Still, hords of Germans travel to Venlo just for this awful supermarket where you can only buy mass-produced groceries that are not even especially Dutch but aimed for the German market. Even the signs are usually in German only. Still, they do have a small shelf with beer. It’s mostly German or Dutch macro stuff, but also contains a few Belgian classics as well as a handful of craft beers. Nothing you can’t get anywhere else, and it’s not even cheaper. So please, avoid this place at all costs!“

“Tucked away in a side lane in the pedestrian area of Venlo, this pub is rather hard to find, but it is definitely worth a visit if you are in town. It has a spacious, cozy interior and a large patio, too. The staff are nice and friendly and they seem to know a lot about the beers they sell. The selection includes some local brews as well as a few Dutch and Belgian standards on tap, more so in bottles. The food looks good but I haven’t tried it yet, apart from the home made apple pie, which is simply delicious. Not cheap but definitely decent“

“Visited on Saturday 27th April ’13, around lunchtime. De Klep is about a 7 or 8 minute walk from the railway station but not that easy to find, tucked away down a pedestrian alleway of a small street. Despite a map at hand we still had to ask a local for help! De Klep carries a cafe style vibe housed in a single L-shaped room with the bar in front of you as you enter with a mix of tiled and wooden flooring. We were greeted with around a dozen beers on tap and friendly service from the young team behind the bar. The lighting was good in de Klep, a bug bear for me in some venues when trying to rate beer, with large open shop front style windows and chandeliers suspended from the ceiling. There is also a beer garden across the passage way opposite. Little pots of taty mized nuts are given to you as standard and replenished on a regular basis. At the business end there was a decent mix of Dutch and Belgian beers, nothing rare - the likes of Bink, Gulpener, La Trappe and they also had 2 house beers on Venloos Dubbel and Trippel. Solid bottle selection, much of which is in the caged cellar downstairs which is lit up by the toilet, although I enquired about the 2 most interesting items on here - Westmalle Extra and Westvleteren 6 and neither were actually there ! Great little bar - highly reccomended if in Venlo.“

“A relatively newly established specialist beer bar (3 months before my visit of Dec 2012). A good range of beer on tap and in bottle, including a large range of Trappists and belgian red and sour ales as well as some other special belgian and dutch beers. Very knowledgable and helpful staff with excellent service. I understand the availability of some beers was limited when I visited, but this is likely to improve in the future. Well worth a visit.“

“Tucked away in the centre of Venlo is De Klep. One has to have a detailed map to find it but is it worth it. Situated beside a church the decor was a very religious theme but extremely tastefully done. The service was excellent and very friendly including the owners. Thevselection of beers on tap was large and diverse. My only negative comment is that they were out of their brews temporarily but I manage to purchase some in bottles they had from their first batch. All in all it is worth a visit if one is in the area.“

“I just want to add this supermarket, because it has quite a big selection. Lots of Belgians. No rare stuff, but still quite a lot. A good selection of Dutch beer, and some German and Austrian´beer, too. For Germans, who visit Venlo this is the first place to go, as you can´t miss it, being right in the centre of Venlo.“
