A perfect bar! Visited on a rainy Saturday afternoon in January for a couple of beers and a coffee. Candles on each table add to the cosy atmosphere and I also had good service from the barman. Excellent choice of local and Belgian beers (see a small selection on my photo). I tried a lovely Porter and also an interesting winter ale (hints of mulled wine). Espresso was good too and served with a tiny coffee liqueur shot! Nice touch. My favourite bar in Nijmegen by a long way.

"In de Blaauwe Hand" enchants with its cozy, rustic charm and a warm, inviting ambiance. Their selection of Belgian ales, like the perfectly presented Leffe, complements the delicious, well-crafted menu. The attentive service rounds out a delightful dining experience. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of Dutch hospitality.

In the area doing research regarding my grandfather 61st Highland Anti Tank Regiment, 51st Highland Division. I was listening to a James Holland podcast where he mentioned going to the Blaauwe Hand bar. We decided to also stop for beer and snacks and we were glad we did. Fantastic range of beers on offer. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly

We had the luck of sitting at the owners bar. An amazing and friendly guy who, while serving a whole cafe on his own, told us a lot of the beers we chose. He is a sommelier and we were hanging op zijn lippen. Some cool sour beers, but overall commercially brewed InBev stuf; but that's allright. Some cool whiskeys and.. a very cool looking wine fridge.

Really good, and affordable food and lovely atmosphere: Your regular brown bar with a ton load of christmas decorations; the way I like it. The locals were really nice as well.

Our stay was excellent because of sitting at the bar with the owner / know it all. But also at previous visits I was enthusiastic about this place. It's a bummer I don't live anywhere near Nijmegen, but else this would be...

In de Blaauwe Hand prides itself on being the oldest café in Nijmegen, and that is certainly part of its charm. It's housed in two late mediaeval buildings close to St. Stephen's Church. This does mean that there's not a lot of space, and what space there may be poorly accessable for people with mobility issues.

On warm days the terrace is a very nice place to have a drink. It's mostly in the shade of the surrounding buildings, so on colder, windy days it might not be quite such a pleasant place, but in the hight of summer it's a little slice of heaven.

In de Blaauwe Hand has a decent selection of drinks and snacks, focused more on quality than variety. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and pleasantly down to earth.

Definitely...

'' In de Blaauwe Hand '' , was oorspronkelijk een onderdeel van de Nijmeegse lakenhal , die werd gebouwd rond 1320.

Die lakenhal liep over de hele breedte van de westkant van de Grote Markt. Op de benedenverdieping bestond de hal uit opengewerkte arcades die de overdekte markt vormden , op de bovenverdieping stond een weverij en een blauwververij om de fijne lakense stoffen te verven.

De grootschalige lakenproduktie kwam in 1540 tot een einde en de lakenhal werd opgedeeld in kleinere woon -en werkeenheden, waarvan '' de Blaauwe Hand " er één van was . Het pand werd sinds 1542 gebruikt als kantine voor de blauwververs die op kleine schaal wel doorgingen met hun werk, het blauw verven van stoffen. Dat gebeurde aanvankelijk met de ingedikte restanten van de Europese wedeplant, vanaf dat de VOC in de 17de-eeuw India bereisde gebeurde dat met de veel effectievere maar wel duurdere indigoplant.

Blauwgeverfde kleding was daardoor duur in de aanschaf en voor de gewone burgers nauwelijks betaalbaar. Het proces duurde een aantal weken waarna de stoffen diverse keren met de hand in kuipen werden ondergedompeld en schoongespoeld ( in de Waal ) .

Het veroorzaakte blauwe handen vandaar de naam van het café. Uiteindelijk werden de stoffen op maandag te drogen gehangen. Dat was een vrije dag voor de wevers en ververs , vandaar ook de benaming '' een blauwe maandag ''.

In de schepenprotocollen van Nijmegen wordt de naam '' de Blaauwe Hand '' voor het eerst genoemd in 1746. De blauwververij , in combinatie met katoendrukken, chemisch verven en stoomwasserij is in de afgelopen eeuwen blijven bestaan. Met name in de buurt van de voormalige lakenhal. Zo lagen er vóór 1940 op de Lange Hezelstraat en de Ganzenheuvel al meer dan 100 jaar een drietal blauwververijen, waarvan twee de naam '' de Blauwe Hand '' droegen.

Het huidige café '' in de blaauwe hand '', het woordje '' in '' is er pas in 1960 aan toegevoegd , is het oudste café en bedrijf van Nijmegen.

Zeer vriendelijke bediening , een authentieke sfeer en een keuze aan een gamma van zeer...
