The Hague is full of cafés and bars of all descriptions, and no matter what part of the city you happen to be exploring, you are sure to come across a nice place for a drink or a snack. The highest concentration of cafés and bars is of course in the city centre, but some of the best places are located on quiet side streets, not necessarily in the busiest and most touristy areas. In the warmer months, outdoor terraces spring up all over the city, and some streets known for their chic outdoor cafés are De Denneweg, Frederikstraat, and Noordeinde. The Dutch tend to sit outside with their drinks whenever the tempermental weather allows. Most cafés and bars serve at least some food, though bars that are open late generally close the kitchen around 9 or 10 pm. Typical Dutch bar food includes cheese platters, and fried assortments of breaded “bitterbollen,” which they dip in mustard. Other bars serve tapas and the occasional few have real lunch and dinner menus. Cafés in The Hague often cater to a lunch crowd with food, and become more bar-like by evening.
