Excellent experience. I always judge a bar based on 5 factors and 1983 scored high on each of them: Music - Most Dutch bars either Don have any music or poor music sense. 1983 Gouda had a very good vibe due to good music. You can enjoy in people's company or by yourself too Drinks - Yummy sweet and sour cocktails. Highly recommended Food - Surprisingly good food which is more than just bread and cheese unlike most Dutch bars (especially the ones that just serve drink and then you don't know what to do if you're hungry) Seating - There was terrace seating, inside comfy seating, work as you enjoy your coffee seating and your own little party gathering exclusive seating. Staff - Very cute and interactive staff actually. It's a new establishment as I understood and everyone was happy and smiley.
Overall good vibes and much to do in the bar. Surprise discovery for me as it was not in the center but one of the must visit places in...

It warmed our hearts to receive such amazing service from the team, and we felt very fortunate to find this gem of a...

Extremely prompt service. As I said we were a large group so we were constantly asking for something and the hosts were very kind and quick.
The highlight for me: food available all night. Few of us weren’t hungry as early as 5pm. But we had the option to order and eat later in the night. I cannot stress enough how wonderful that was, to not have to go and look for food after a night full of drinks. free water! Most bars charge a significant sum for water. It was refreshing to see a bar that gave us water whenever we needed it.
Definitely going back to try their...
