A huge part of what makes this place special are the people that work here, from the kitchen staff to the bar, everyone is wonderful! They were more than accommodating, and made us feel welcomed and included with the tasting experience even though we naively walked-in last minute without reservations (reservations ARE required for the guided tasting/tour, which we learned after the fact). The staff were nice and allowed us to join mid-tasting in our very spontaneous visit, which turned into one of my favorite tasting experiences…ever. The bar bites are delicious and pair well with the liqueur. Make sure to get the spicy pepper concoction! Note to self: make reservations to get the full tour next time!
Gewoon weg top! Super aanrader.
The cocktail tastings are a definite must do here. You can experience it in both English or Dutch. 5 cocktails and many good times complete with snacks and good banter. The tasting is done out in a garden that makes you feel like you're not in the middle of a busy city. The people working there love their jobs and were super helpful in helping us with which liqueurs to try and to possibly take home. Take your mum here. She will definitely have a great day out.
Great time here. We barely made it in time. The various spirits are delicious. If you're adventurous go for the "drop" one. The staff was super kind and we enjoyed it all enough we decided to bring a couple bottles back to the states with us.
Leuke info, lekker borrelen in de binnentuin en een prima jenever in echte kruiken.
This was an unexpected gem for our day trip to The Hague, we were expecting a museum but found a delightful bar in an authentic setting. The staff are incredibly helpful (and funny), the food is very good but the star of the experience is the drinks. We indulged in several flights and fully expect to be back soon. If you're coming to the city center you must come and enjoy this place.
A very atmospheric bar and distillery with a fantastic selection of liquors, jenever, and cocktails. My wife, our friend, and I tried a variety of drinks along with their all-in-one snack platter, which was so generous it ended up being our dinner. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, making us feel genuinely welcomed. As a completely unexpected and touching gesture, when they found out we were Ukrainians, they showed us an invaluable artifact — a trident made from Azovstal metal.
Great experience, large variety of gins to try. Fleur is amazing, giving a extra special touch to the tasting and story of jenever. Mind your step when leaving :))
Leuk verteld het verhaal van van Kleef, ambiance prima
Une superbe distillerie historique qui se visite et on est tout de suite accueillis avec un petit verre de dégustation par une équipe super accueillante et gentille et ce même en français ! Plein de bonnes boissons à déguster avec des explications pour chacune et un endroit généralement très chaleureux, on y a passé un très bon moment Je conseille de réserver ou plutôt de ne pas venir à l'improviste car l'endroit peut être rempli
The customer service and staff behavior was fantastic, and we had a "memorable" visit to the place due to how we were treated. The drinks also tasted great. The shots with the lady and her colleague who worked there also created a really nice memory!
Super leuk geholpen door de jongeman! Een hele leuke verteller van de geschiedenis van het bedrijf.
What an absolutely fantastic experience. We had booked a tasting session—just a nice little visit to The Hague to knock back some liqueurs and have a cozy chat. It was supposed to last about two hours. But, thanks to our delightful hostess Fleur, we stumbled out four and a half hours later, slightly tipsy and definitely more enlightened. If you ever find yourself in The Hague, this is an absolute must-do. Just visit vankleef.eu—you’ll thank me when you sober up.
Ollivanders der Schnäpse und Liköre - tolles Ambiente, einen Besuch wert!
Great experience. Amazing staff. Wonderful tasting experience. So many different types of alcohol to sample. It was hard to choose which ones to take home. "One of everything" won't work when you have to fly home. :-) So glad we stopped!
Employee was very friendly and helpful. When you enter it looks small but once you go outside to the seating area it's spacious and beautiful. Love the outdoor seating. Very relaxing. Lots of history to learn as well.
Wir sind sehr freundlich bedient worden. Mit Schnäpsen zum probieren. Alles sehr lecker. Auch günstiger wie erwartet.
Was echt een leuke ervaring!
I had a lovely visit at the distillery. The staff was welcoming and friendly, taking the time to give an overview and explain the tastings. I went during a weekday so there was no tour but they provided a booklet with history and information. Overall it's a nice place to visit.
This was magnificent! Staff was beyond awesome, food was tasty, and drinks were the best! ❤️
Perfekte Bedienung, super freundlich und lustig. Sehr empfehlenswert
