While Cafe Van Kleef is ok, there is nothing noteworthy about it other than, apparently, not getting a Manhattan. The friends I was there with warned me that every time someone orders one they end up with a different variation and it's never an actual Manhattan. Of course they only warned me about it after I had ordered one. The proportions were off and it ended up including a half ounce or so of maraschino cherry liquid.

Great spot to chill out and meet up with friends! I see something different hidden every time I go. Wondering what Iβd see next time. Great bartenders drinks & Security staff too!

This spot is something special. The atmosphere is really what makes it stand outβitβs lively, welcoming, and just a great place to hang out for a while. You can tell itβs the kind of place locals probably come back to again and again. Honestly, Iβd be surprised if you found a better vibe anywhere else. Just a quick heads-up though: they donβt serve food here. Itβs definitely more about the drinks and the atmosphere than sitting down for a full meal. Once you know that going in, it actually makes the whole experience feel more relaxed. You just show up, enjoy the space, and have a good time. Itβs the kind of place that makes you wish you lived nearby so you could stop by whenever you felt like it.

Such a cool dive. Best greyhound anywhere. Great ambiance and place to have a conversation over drinks.

dive bar vibes. not a bad thing but atmosphere was definitely different from shiru next door which is more my speed so i felt a bit out of place. i wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. because it was a bit overstimulating. the grapefruit drink was good (and pulpy). $10 drink in n out wasnβt bad but i could have skipped it. i see the appeal but it just wasnβt for me.
