cafe briljant

A great bar in a residential street, great selection of bottled beers and whiskies. Good selection of tap beers, most of which are changed regularly. The owner is very knowledgeable on his products. Cosy atmosphere, live music most Thursday evenings and bring your own vinyl albume Sundays!

This is really one of the most great places you can find in Haarlem to listen to good (indie, blues, singer-songwriter, acoustic, alternative) music and to find an awesome selection of specialty beers from all over the world. Some beautiful Dutch beers and even local, Haarlem-brewed choices. Also a large selection of Whiskeys for the whiskeydrinker. Open crowd and live music on thursdays.In a quiet typical dutch street, just a step away from the main shopping street. I say: go there!

This is a great place with a top notch collection of beers and an awesomely quaint location on a quiet street in a secluded Haarlem neighborhood. Good selection for beer geeks including some hoppy options and all the Belgian classics. If you are in Haarlem and visiting the Grote Markt, walk a couple more blocks to Cafe Briljant.
