WERKMAN — Restaurant in Groningen

A great restaurant in a central spot for a lot of different activities. I personally really like to do some work here. It's a perfect place to work, because of the comfortable benches with enough power outlets. The WiFi is a bit tricky to connect to (I usually have to connect and disconnect a few times), but once you're connected it's definitely stable enough for work related activities. The coffee is great, which helps you to keep going, their food is quite luxurious and their salads positively surprising (I'd recommend the fried chicken caesar salad for a really unique one). This luxurious part is something you should like, because this comes with a bit higher price of course. On the other hand, their higher prices also come with great, and now and then even personal, service and nice extra's such as a live DJ for enjoyable background music. Their choices in craft beers are quite unique as well. I've managed to add a nice collection of new beers to my Untappd collection in here.

Went there asked for 1 Sticky coffee and 1 small beer. Got 1 normal coffee and 1 small beer . The waitress did not answer to our calls and ignored us while trying to reach her, a colleague told us it was a normal coffee instead of the ordered Sticky Coffee. In the final bill they corrected the normal coffee but I was charged for a medium (3.2 Eur) instead of the small beer (3.2 Eur). I paid the bill as the difference was not a big issue but I asked for clarification regarding the price of the beer and even after showing her to the waitress the different price on the menu she insisted that it was a the right price. At least she could have admitted her mistake after all the inconvenience and a simple sorry would have avoided...

This place has such an amazing vibe! Seriously, the atmosphere is spot on – the decor, the music, everything just creates such a great setting. I always look forward to hanging out here with friends because the ambiance is top-notch. However, I’ve got to be honest about the coffees and teas. Every time I’ve ordered something, it’s been a letdown. Whether it’s a lukewarm coffee, a tea that tastes watered down, or just something generally off, the coffee and teas never seem to match the quality of the atmosphere. I keep hoping it will improve, because I really want to love everything about this place, but for now, I’ll stick to enjoying the ambiance and maybe order something...
