The Pubs

"The pub is the spa for the soul."

Haus Holtbrügge.

Haus Holtbrügge, in Dinslaken's Altstadt, is the headquarters of KNICKERBOCKER'S BIER TOURS. A bit British pub, a touch international. It's over 250 years old and still in the same family.

Gaststätte Schnier.

Another of Dinslaken's oldest pubs. In the Altstadt, a very traditional German "Knipe".

Stadtschanke Hackfort's.

Across the street from Haus Holtbrügge. It's one of the two hotels used on the tours.

The Sign Of Great Beer In Krefeld.

Arnhem's Cafe `t Moorgat

My favorite Dutch pub.

The City Hotel.
