Read the English version below EN I had a very disappointing experience at this place. The guy running the karaoke was incredibly rude. Before my song started, I asked him which microphone I should use. He simply ignored my question and started the song anyway. When I finally got the right microphone, I asked him to start the song again from the beginning. He reacted with obvious annoyance. He even said, "Nobody wants to hear this anyway." That was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Ironically, my performance went down well with the audience, and even the people at the bar applauded. After that, I just wanted to leave. I had only ordered one drink, but they wanted to charge me €7 because there was supposedly a minimum spend. Nobody had informed me about this before I ordered. I either had to pay more than I had consumed or order another drink just to avoid being ripped off. I found that misleading. No wonder the place was practically empty. I wish I had read the reviews beforehand. Never again. Save your time and your money. There are many better places with friendlier service and fairer treatment.

After that, I just wanted to leave. I had only ordered one drink, but they tried to charge me €7, claiming there was a minimum consumption. Nobody informed me about this before I ordered. I was forced to either pay for something I didn't consume or order another drink just to avoid being overcharged. That felt very misleading. It's no surprise the place didn't have many customers. I wish I had read the reviews before going. Never again. Don't waste your time or money here. There are plenty of better places with friendlier staff and more honest service.

I am in Germany, specifically in Assen, and walking through the center I saw this small but very welcoming place. I was attracted by its colors, the very good and professional bartender, the very relaxed people, they make you feel at ease. In any case, the beer was very good, I had a small lager.

Terrible service! A certain guy with red hair! We ordered five tequilas and they arrived without lemons! But then other people ordered tequilas and they got lemons! It was very disrespectful! And it was very expensive compared to other bars.

We celebrated my sister's bachelorette party there on Saturday. We were absolutely thrilled. The DJ was in great spirits and up for anything. They were always attentive and checked if we needed anything, and our drinks arrived within minutes. The atmosphere and the vibe of the other guests were fantastic. We had a wonderful evening and would love to come back. Thank you for everything! 🙏❤️
