It was a relatively warm evening, so we sat outside and the heat lamps kept us warm for most of the night. The thunder and rainstorm that was rolling in was quite something to watch from under the umbrellas, but we stayed dry and comfortable. Service was friendly and quick, and I do see myself bringing my parents here or other guests visiting from out of town.

I had the good fortune of being the one and only patron for the first hour and I sat and talked to the owner, Pieter. This place just has that authentic Irish feel to it. I actually walked a half a mile past another Irish pub that was closer to my hotel to get to this one. Maastricht does not have as much exposure to Yelp, so I actually had to look for a recommendation on another site. That is exactly why I am reviewing this restaurant. Yelpers need to know this place! I enjoyed a Smithwick's on tap. The beer was extremely cold, and the pint was a perfect pour! However, the biggest draw for me was the fish and chips. They are absolutely delicious! The fish is a rather large piece, done right in beer batter. It is also extremely flaky and I consider this a good thing! The pub is also known to be a good place to watch European football. The TVs are hooked up to sound and broadcast in HD. Whether you're looking for a good pint, good food or just to enjoy a football game, this is your place. And let Pieter know that Craig from Yelp sent you!

We've been in Irish Bars all over the world. This one is special. For one thing, it's clean. I mean *really* clean. It's really nicely furnished and decorated. The place has sort of an "upscale" ambiance, but retains the laid back feeling you expect from an Irish Pub. The food was terrific. We enjoyed large portions and the exceptional presentation. Prices were reasonable and the service was great. In short, this isn't your run of the mill Irish Pub. I absolutely recommend you check it out.

This restaurant is known throughout Maastricht for its ribs - and the ribs are justly famous…read more Although the food in this establishment is first rate - think of this place as a bar with food - to get more of a feel for what the experience is really like. This is one of a long line of brasseries that line the east side of the Vrijthof, one of the two main squares of Maastricht. The entire East Side of the Vrijthof is one extended "hang-out". There are maybe ten maybe twenty brasseries all right next to each other - and nothing but brasseries on the strip. the entire sidewalk is lined maybe eight deep with rows of tables under canopies and umbrellas - and pedestrians wend their ways through the tables to get to the brasserie of their choice. about 3/4 of the places have heaters - so people sit outside in droves - even when it is freezing cold. inside the decoration of most places is "english pub gone dutch". the menus tend to be dutch dutch and dutch with pizza and pasta options since the dutch love pizza and pasta. you are here to drink more than eat -although the food will be copious - and while dutch beer is neither belgian beer nor german beer - the nation that gave the world heineken ain't bad with a brewery. because this is a hangout for spending all night - service is slow. Slow by design. So as the other reviews note - you WILL wait for your food - which is being painstakingly prepared. You are supposed to be getting drunk and talking to your friends. When the food comes, you will die and go to heaven. (or at least you won't need to eat again until you die and go to heaven because servings are ENORMOUS) We started with a tomato red pepper soup for which I would KILL to get the recipe. It was made with the red peppers for which the Dutch are famous but with more red pepper flavor than you get even in a tube of Hungarian red pepper concentrate. The ribs were an unusual take on ribs. They were grilled over a fire rather than smoked - but with the lightest of light of sauces. No thick heavy red stuff with catsup and sugar US-style. No dominant meat-masking Memphis rub. No cloying Chinese pure syrup. The sauce was transparent and put an barely discernible amount of sweet touch on to the ribs -subtle but most assuredly there. The dominant flavor was that of really good grilled meat - but with the glaze making it more suave - giving it a child-like flavor of dessert. I was OMG raving about the ribs all night. And the quantity was HUGE. Lots of places in the US will give you the full rack of ribs - and this was a full rack of rigs. A full rack of ribs from one very very big Dutch pig. I can polish off a US rack and not think twice about it . This was more rib meat than I have had in a meal since I don't know when - Sides easily of the quality - of the soup and the mains. The standard French Fries in the standard wire Belgian French Fry Basket. But their angle? Give you a dipping bowl of standard Belgian mayonnaise - AND give you a dipping bowl of their own house improved kickier mayonnaise. The house improved kickier mayonnaise is tarter than plain old mayo (even good homemade mayo) and was a clearly superior accompaniment for ribs. A cabbage salad is also there - freshly made - not pickled like a kraut but vinegary enough thank you very much. Plus the decorating inside the pub is completely nice with fine wainscoting and beautiful tulip light fixtures. If I am ever back in Maastricht - this is my one clear return-to destination.

The inside of the restaurant is absolutely exquisite. There are fresh flowers placed on each table and dim lighting that looks even better at night.

I ordered the panzerotti scampi and a martini bellini, which both came out very quickly. My drink came with a small platter of olives, and the pasta came with a bread basket. Solid portion size, unlike some restaurants that only give four raviolis... very decent shrimp--they were large in size and perfectly chewy. I enjoyed the pasta, although the tomato based sauce could have been a tad less salty. I liked how the pasta dish included a handful of arugula and a couple pieces of broccoli. Service was 11/10. I was immediately seated when I walked in, and my waitress was incredibly friendly and attentive. Would love to come back when I'm in the mood for pasta and cocktails. Great little corner.
