O'Leary's
Adelaarstraat 23
A nice Irish pub located near Utrecht's only windmill. Fairly new
place, although their interior is made to make you believe
otherwise. A friendly place with Guinness on draft, surprisingly
many Irish customers and good Italian coffee. Not the best place to
go if you don't like soccer: they have no less than
two
huge televisions showing important matches.

Ledig Erf
Tolsteegbrug 3
Biggest and most relaxed terrace in Utrecht. Inside people also
play backgammon or watch soccer on TV, but if you like to play
chess, you'll have to love this place. The old-brown interior and a
relaxed atmosphere makes it a good place for a Sunday-afternoon
beer. Recently the interior was reworked somewhat, but without
doing any real damage to the atmosphere.

kasteel de Leugen
Loeff Berchmakerstraat 10
A tiny old-brown pub just off
het Neude. Very quiet during
the day and often very crowded at night. With every first coffee
ordered before 6pm you get a free coffee liquor--a great thing in
winter. Offers a large selection of newspapers for reading.

't Lieverdje
Nobelstraat 10
Old brown interior with not-too-comfortable benches--the chairs are
ok though. Often serves homemade sangria in summer, glühwein
during the colder months. They have a small garden at the
back. Formerly Chantal's favorite, but for some reason the public
has changed lately. Don't be surprised if everyone is singing along
with some terrible Dutch songs that are played too loud to make a
conversation possible. In the weekends visited by young highschool
students. Despite all that, the bartenders are excellent, though.

de Lindebar
Nieuwegracht 197
A small bar with a very ugly dark interior. Not a great place
at first sight, but don't leave right away; wait until you've met
Henk the senior bartender (age 58). He'll make you feel at home and
teach you more about life and what's important while you're at it.
(Large group sessions lack personal touch and are therefore not
recommended.) Distressing news has reached us: Henk has left! Used
to serve cheap lobster dinners for a while, but we're not sure if
they still do. Actually, we're pretty sure they don't anymore.

Lofen
Domplein 17
A very large, nicely decorated place. Many, many,
many
dinner tables at the back, but somehow not quite the place for
after-dark drinking. Enjoy a great lunch in front of the window,
overlooking Dom square.

de Luifel
Neude 35
The main goal of your visit should be the food; they serve plenty of
it for little money. Attracts the students field hockey crowd,
especially on Sundays. If the weather allows you can sit outside.
