Was a wonderful experience.

This spot was a random find while exploring the streets and neighborhoods and instantly caught our eye. The interior was really nice, service super friendly, and good variety of beer & wine. We had just eaten dinner so we only grabbed a couple snacks while enjoying a nightcap--a local craft beer for me and a natural wine for the wife. Great stuff and I hope they're doing well during these COVID times.

A beer hall smack dab in the city center of Delft…read more They are notable in the sense that they have a wide variety of beer: - 14 beers on tap - 200 bottled beers from Belgium and the Netherlands. Their beer selection has depth because not only do they carry traditional Belgian beer (Westvleteren, Rochefort, Delirium, etc...) but they also carry Dutch beer from brewers big and small, from the well-established to the newer, smaller businesses. According to the bartender, although the Netherlands' beer history is not as well-known as Belgium, more people are starting to appreciate Dutch craft breweries, hence the prevalence of the newer Dutch brews in the bars. Take that, Heineken. (For the record, I didn't see Heineken on the menu). For those that are overwhelmed by the beer selection they offer a tasting menu of 6 pre-selected beers from their tap for €14. This amounts to 3 beers. Though I didn't have a taster myself, I appreciate the thought that came to it because it represents good depth in the tap list BUT there's also one German beer and Guinness. For both of my visits the bartenders were quite nice. One of them gave me a mini history lecture on the Dutch craft brewery scene. I am ashamed to admit that for both of my visits I had Belgian beer. But this bar is notable in that it was one of the first bars in the Netherlands to serve Belgian beer. I had a Delirium Tremens on tap and Rochefort 10 on the bottle. Both are excellent brews. In true fashion the beers are served in their respective glasses. - Of note is that they offer Westvleteren 12 for €13. This is a much more fair price for the bottle whereas if you go to Belgium the price is marked up significantly. Indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of smokers sitting outside. They also have a food menu if needed.

If you're lured inside by this quirky view, which is enhanced by the ivy growing on the extension, you'll probably find a very crowded pub. You'll also notice a variety of patrons, from the old locals to young students sipping their brews. If you manage to find a spot, there's a variety of beers from which to choose. Most of them are uncommon, but you'll have to try hard to find that one true gem among them. Overall, Bonte Koe is a cute and cozy pub that's a good place for a night of beer and conversation, as long as you manage to find a spot. As this is not necessarily easy, you might want to bring a good pair of elbows. Drinks up!

There isn't much seating available, but when we went, it never got super crowded, there was just a steady crowd of some tourists and locals. We sat for a few hours and it was a nice spot to drink and relax. When it's warmer out, there are tables outside which are probably very nice! We got two toasters, essentially a normal panini, but with normal toast bread as opposed to panini bread. What's special is the cheese or homemade spreads used, quite simple but very tasty! Loved the 8% alcohol beer from Delft! Cappuccino and Latte we're good as well! For a dive bar looking place, I was very pleasantly surprised with the service, selection and quality of food. Don't get me wrong, it's not super fancy, it's just much better than I expected when walking in. I would definitely come back here again as well as recommend it to others, not necessarily for a full meal (though it was a full meal for my husband and I), but great for a small snack and a few drinks!
