Visited De Punt on the 26th November for the first time in 28 years. Lovely traditional Dutch pub with friendly staff. Will definitely visit again.

Typische lokale kroeg met een heel ontspannen sfeer. Het bijzondere is wel, dat je er als vreemde binnen kan lopen en men geeft je toch de indruk blij met je komst te zijn en doen alsof je al jaren te gast bent. Een warme douche.
