Café Le Duc in Wijk 28 Centrum

Great music with amazing musicians "god Vibe"

The owner was very unpleasant, the bar was empty, we entered on a Saturday at 5:30 p.m. while the musicians were rehearsing. We ordered 2 beers and there were three of us. Suddenly, when we were starting to enjoy the music (wonderful) and the beer, he kicked us out because there were three of us and we were only drinking, after we had paid a while ago and there was no one at the bar. A scoundrel, we had to leave with almost the entire beer

I went in with my aunt and my younger sister when they had just entered with the place empty. We ordered two pints as my sister doesn't like beer, and 2 minutes after paying the waiter called us out because if my sister didn't drink something she couldn't stay. We left immediately, what a shame to be this rude with the bar completely empty.

A very good jazz bar, just one rather funny negative point, the owner of the bar, living on the floor above, complains about the noise from her own bar, never seen that, except for the rest lovers of good jazz and good whiskey will be delighted.

I like it a lot. Good beer, great jazz music

A great atmosphere… top musicians every night!

We ordered Amstel and Wieckse beers. We got Brand and Heineken. Confirmed with the service - the beers are the same, only the brand is different 👍

Live Jazz Music on Thursday and the best Barkeeper in the world!

Overall the establishment is not bad, but the owners are horrible, disgruntled and angry. You always catch unpleasant looks and gossip. Not recommended if you don't want to spoil your dinner!

Eating not done. Atmosphere and service good. Toilet (men's) is a drama, I haven't seen it this gross in years.

Best music and worst owners in The Hague

We happened to walk by and heard music. We went in and it was quite nice. Live jazz music.

I have been there several times. It’s an amazing place for drinks only in the evening when the band is playing jazz. The bar is almost always full from 20:00 and has a nice vibe. The reviews below about an old owner are the truth so be careful! ;)

Lovely cafe to enjoy live music and drinks!

I think is the best bar in the Netherlands,Ed and Woudy make history of music in town, are organizing old school live music ,futuristic events,starwars They are epic Every day of the year the party is on ,real deal Friendly bar tenders and cosy crowd, the musicians…i have friends that play very very well in this bar I play there often too If you come in the Netherlands you cant miss it

Owner very unfriendly however great music is played by underpaid and under appreciated musicians. The bar staff are usually great, especially Reggie! Expect watered down beer from the taps, Ed the owner is very tight. And no heating in the winter so you hope it is crowded. Just avoid the owner and you’ll be fine.

I would rather say otherwise, but unfortunately, our bartender at Cafe Le Duc, is not to be trusted. On a busy Friday night, he charged us for four whiskeys, when we only had two, and would not budge, insisting that is what we had consumed. We were rather tipsy (although I had only three glasses of wine the whole evening). However, I am very good at math, even under the influence, and could not believe his lack of faith in not correcting his own error. It's too bad, as I really want to like Le Duc as it is a classic Dutch brown cafe with a gorgeous Delft-tiled chimney and lots of charisma, and also a venue that supports local musicians. Jammer.

A cozy Dutch bar with live jazz/blues music. We stopped by for some drinks and live music on a Saturday evening. They have a decent selection of drinks, and although it was packed full the night we visited the service was good and the prices are ok too. The atmosphere is so warm and the bar itself is nicely decorated with paintings. It's a good option for quick drinks if you're in the neighborhood.

Friendly service, nice atmosphere.

Best jazz cafe in The Hague. Great atmosphere and service!

Beer range very one-sided. Operation flat. It's nice that there is often live music.

Nice brown pub with live music when we visited, immediately made our trip to The Hague good

Saw it Friday night, amazing live music Came back on Saturday night and enjoyed the best performance of this year. Checked the Google ratings and it blew my mind how underrated this place is

I liked this place a lot. It is so nice.

Apart from the part where the owner is forced to buy drinks so we don't get kicked out, it's great

Beware of this place! My girlfriend and I decided to check out this bar on a Saturday night, attracted by the promise of live jazz music. Little did we know that our evening would turn into a nightmare. I ordered a beer, and as we were enjoying our conversation, an overweight, intoxicated man, who turned out to be the owner, rudely interrupted us. He insisted we order more drinks, even though my beer was still half full, and he had the audacity to lecture us about how a bar isn't a 'playground' for conversation. To make matters worse, this so-called owner suddenly pretended not to understand our Dutch, which felt unwelcoming and xenophobic. It's appalling to see that recent reviews recount similar dreadful experiences with this owner. It's clear that this bar is struggling financially, but disrespecting customers is not the way to salvage it. Despite this horrendous encounter, the live jazz bad was good. I urge anyone considering coming here to think twice and beware of the terrible treatment you might endure by the owner.

Excellent place to enjoy with good music and good drinks. I recommend it. 🎷🎹🎶👍

I keep wanting to like this place.

Lovely little jazz bar with live music on a Wednesday evening. Drinks a bit on the pricey side (and no prices posted in menu), but good music.

It’s really nice to come here for live music, the bartenders are very friendly, however the owner doesn’t make you feel so welcomed here. Also, the drinks are quite overpriced.

Heerlijk ongedwongen atmosfeer, gezellig met live music.

Great music but overpriced drinks

Très bon moment passé dans ce bar où nous avons assisté à une jam session lors de notre passage à La Haye. Décoration authentique et ambiance agréable. Nous avons demandé conseil à un des barmans pour continuer la soirée après la fermeture du bar et nous avons été très agréablement surpris par l'amabilité avec laquelle nous avons reçu des recommandations. Nous avons passé une excellente soirée et on y retournera très certainement si l'on revient à La Haye.

Echt een heerlijk bruin café. Elke avond live muziek

Een echte bruine kroeg maar nu mogen ze wel hier en daar niets herstellen

Great place to take drinks with Live music Prices OK

Veeeel te duur bier. We kregen plat bier dat de hele dag in de pijpen zat. 5,5€ voor 33cl… komaan

Kroeg zoals kroeg bedoeld is, met regelmatig live muziek voor de liefhebber. Lekker tot laat een borrel drinken en ouwehoeren doe je hier.

Coole Bar mit Livemusik. Noch nie so einen tollen, freundlichen, mega schnellen Barkeeper erlebt, der einfach mal eine Bar mit über 100 Gästen alleine schmeißt.

Este lugar es increíble. Tiene un ambiente y una decoración con mucha onda vintage. Increíble. Bine atendido. Y una música de jazz constante que invita a quedarte horas.

Great music and vibes, no nonsense old school bruincafe!

Gezellig cafeetje met meerdere dagen p/w jazzmuziek.

Live Jazz, variatie aan bier en gemêleerd publiek. Heerlijk!

Sehr gemütliche Bar mit live Musik. Der Barkeeper ist großartig.

The owners weren’t really nice and pretty snappy to the customers. Pretty nice place to hang out though.

Amazing craft beer, friendly staff, and live jazz! Definitely recommend!

Very cool small jazz club in The Hague. Often great trio band playing live. Worth a stroll

Mooi café, maar de Kompaan Weizen zat in een generiek Kompaan-vaasje, was niet koud, en had geen frisse smaak (diacetyl?). Voor 5.50 euro per glas verwacht ik iets heel goeds.

We fietsten langs en hoorden jazzy muziek klinken. Geweldig leuke sfeer en lekkere muziek (iedere avond tussen 21 en 24 uur) :)

Don't remember too much. I entered being already drunk and got out walking on my hands.

Such an amazing and alive place. Superb jazz on a Friday night, cool atmosphere, the busiest bartender ever, awesome service! 10/10.. I mean, 5 out of 5☆ 😄

Bijna altijd wel fijne live jazz vanaf 21:00 te vinden hier! Met een Haags biertje uit de tapn🎷🍻

Nice place to listen to local jazz talent

Leuk café en vriendelijk barpersoneel. De eigenaar(s) is echter uiterst onvriendelijk wat de totaalbeleving negatief beïnvloedt. Ze zitten dan chagrijnig te wezen en commentaar te leveren op het personeel, maar is onbegrijpelijk genoeg dan wel elke dag aanwezig helaas.
