Café 't Pothuiske in Wijk 00 Centrum

We had a nice drink on the terrace here. A lovely, fairly quiet spot in the city center. The staff is friendly.

Pizzas and pasta are very good, good beers too.

The friendly staff, in particular, makes the stay twice as atmospheric.

Great cafe and very friendly and welcoming staff.

Great beer selection, very attentive service, well located, very nice location.

Always nice to have a beer here.

Very nice place! Delicious beers on tap. Nice terrace too.

Nice (eating) café with very friendly Limburg staff. Prompt service, tasty food.

Nice little restaurant/café. Friendly staff, very cozy, highly recommended.

A cozy pub with a good menu and good draft beers. If you're lucky, there might even be live music from the brass band C'est ca.

A nice corner spot with a nice atmosphere and friendly service. The beer selection is decent, especially because they serve regional beers. We sat on the patio with a nice view of the water and passersby.

Very friendly service Good drinks Delicious food

Super friendly service, good music and drinks, good snack

Delightfully original brown pub.

Delicious beers, with incredibly nice service. Good food, tasty coffee.

Went here several times last week on our holiday to Maastricht.. Everything was lovely, became our "regular" for our trip ☺️

We came to taste some nice beers, but starting with a shared beer tasting so we could see what we wanted to drink next wasn't the intention according to the waiter. Beer was slammed onto the table without eye contact or explanation. A great way to keep guests drinking. We're going to continue drinking across the street, bye. Good beer though.

Nice pub with friendly staff and a beautiful terrace.

Perfect spot for a delicious beer, or something else of course… Correct service, cozy atmosphere, and nice and shady on these warm days. Enjoyed a delicious Fourchette, a Belgian blonde specialty beer/tripel. Highly recommended if it’s on tap.

Immediately after placing our order, I asked if I could pay right away because we had to be somewhere on time. To that, I received the blunt answer: "just enjoy yourself first." After thoroughly enjoying this rude response for a few minutes, I tried again with another waiter: this waiter also rather gruffly brushed me off, saying that his "other" colleague was handling the payments (although I cannot know this in advance): when I asked him if he could send his "other" colleague instead, he gave no further answer. He left without a response. In the end, I had to ask a third person. I understand that it is busy, but you can also just say, "Sir, I will be right back with you for the payment," instead of: "just enjoy it now."

We had a cappuccino and a hot chocolate as well as apple pie. All delicious. The location of the cafe is amazing! Of course, good weather always helps.

Nice terrace, good glass of beer

Cozy place to enjoy a nice meal.

Amazing!! Top service, top food, and the location is great too!

A nice place with approachable and friendly staff, delicious beer, good snack food with beer... affordable.

I really would like to say I love this place but I've had three instances where I was forgotten by the server. Are they being racist? I don't know but it happening to me 3 times? And even when the place wasn't busy? Yeah, makes one wonder. I'm Asian btw. Hence the race issue. Could be just poor ordering system in which case, I hope they improve it.

It is a real shame how we were treated. It was a sweltering Saturday. For the staff, too, of course. But when my Polish friends and I sat down at a table, the old boss's attitude was really like, 'What are you doing here?' That is not hospitality.

It was early in the day, yet the kitchen was open. I had a tasty, spicy goulash. Unfortunately, there weren't too many visitors.

Pleasant on Friday and Saturday, but Sunday is disappointing.

We wanted to have a drink with 12 people. There were 4 people sitting on the terrace and we were turned away…

Very centrally located and rather rustic. We had a beer menu for two to share, which was very good. The service was also excellent. The food was good, but I've had better goulash soups. Still, 5 stars.

Nice for a first time in the Netherlands.

Great atmosphere & delicious beer 👍

I've been there 3 times, all 3 times a great experience, ate and drank deliciously. If you like craft beers, you're in the right place, and the service was amazing, top notch, thank you. I've had all the beer menus now and they were all incredibly tasty.

Superb. We go there every time.

A real traditional pub. Friendly staff who work quickly and neatly. Tables are neatly cleared and cleaned after every guest. A great place to sit for a while.

An atmospheric pub with delicious soups and teas. Very cozy with many touches that create the atmosphere of the place.

Cozy corner, we sat outside. Friendly service, great prices!

Friendly bar, lovely drinks, good food.

We were turned away because we were a group of 18 people, even though the terrace was completely empty. It was incomprehensible and incredibly disappointing. They didn't even consider the situation or look for a solution. Instead of taking advantage of a great opportunity to accommodate a large group of guests, they simply chose to turn us away. This demonstrates a lack of flexibility and entrepreneurship. As a hospitality business, you're not only losing revenue but also making your guests feel unwelcome. That bad feeling lingers. For us, it's definitely not worth a second try.

Discrimination against larger groups! As a group, we were lost and searching for a cozy spot to quench our thirst. We arrived at the café in question and took a seat. The waiter came out and sent us packing with an iron fist. Unacceptable! For a large group, this was advantageous and would have been good publicity for the business. They missed out on this, which demonstrates a lack of economics and hospitality. Very sad.

A beer lover's paradise! A quaint pub with a great selection of beers. Many beers on tap. The Zuurvlees is okay, but in my opinion, overpriced. The service is quick and efficient.

Delicious and cozy, friendly service, we will definitely come back.

Very tasty bitterballen and friendly service.

Small but with a nice beer menu and cozy

This café was the very first one we walked into during our weekend in Maastricht. And it was a fantastic start. It was incredibly cozy with a live band playing, and there were so many great specialty beers on tap and in the bottle—we could hardly choose which one to try! We only wanted to go back yesterday (Monday), but unfortunately, they're closed on Mondays! Hopefully, we'll see them again next time! A great pub with mostly local Maastricht locals!

If you don't all order a drink, you better not sit down because then you won't get anything here

Delicious sauerkraut, cozy and friendly staff!

A staff member came to ask us what we wanted to drink, indicated we were playing pub golf, and was rudely reminded that they didn't participate. It would have been perfectly fine if he had said it differently, but that didn't happen. He also refused to give a reason.

Very unfriendly staff. Eight of us came for pub golf. We wanted to order four drinks and were told we'd be gone in five minutes. We were rudely refused and sent away. I'll never come here again.

We received a very unfriendly welcome; they didn't help us. That's why we ended up leaving. Don't come here!

Had a nice evening, very enjoyable. Great staff.

Cozy cafe/restaurant. The food was delicious and the service very friendly and helpful, even though it was very busy.

It's very reminiscent of a traditional Dutch pub. The staff is very friendly. The tables aren't ideal for plate service. First time in Maastricht... well, you have to try the sourdough and Liege meatballs... and... it was delicious!!! Unfortunately, no photos.

Good amazing food. Best Goulash soup. Staff very attentive. Atmosphere was cosy and very welcoming.

Always very pleasant. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, and plenty of choice. I highly recommend it.

Very cozy cafe, good service with expertise

We been here as short stop to drinks a few beers, beer variety was great both from tab and bottle. Also they had locally brewed and comercial. The waiter was kind and the service as quick, the view to the bridge is awesome. The atmosphere was cozy and warm.

Everything's perfect here! Authentic atmosphere, delicious Limburg food, and superb service. I used to work here... 30 years later, it's still a great place!

Cozy atmosphere and wide selection of beers.

Cozy cafe frequented by locals. Good beer selection!

As a Dutch person I didn't really feel welcome, it's a shame I was told this was a nice pub.??

Cozy café with about 10 beers on tap, but many more available in bottles. A good snack platter is practically a meal in itself. Friendly people behind the bar.

Cozy and excellent service Highly recommended

Have been coming here for years and with great pleasure.

Comfortable seating, Aperol has a nice price

Very good location and nice view.

Really good bar in a lovely position. Great staff. Big beer menu, including local beer and wine.

Excellent service, polite people very taste food

Nice café with a small terrace. Delicious beers, and I would definitely recommend ordering cheese, fuet, and olives!

The beers are great! They got an assortment for all kinds of beer lovers from classic beers to fruitbeers and all sort of craft beers both from the tap as bottled. The only reason I can't give them a full 5 star review is that they don't have vegan food options. But even so the service was great the personal are knowledgeable and polite, fast service and a smile that seems genuine. Great view of the Maas as well and a calm and homey atmosphere the place to go if you just want to enjoy a good beer without that much noise that you often have with places in a big city.

If you really want to experience what it feels like to be treated as a guest, you should definitely go to the Pothuiske

Great, super fun idea to offer a beer selection on the terrace.

A cozy pub/bistro with a light, brown atmosphere. Located next to the Maas River, right next to the shopping area in Maastricht's old city center. Friendly staff.

Always fun with friendly service and ditto company

Nice café in the city center of Maastricht

Welcoming place, very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The beer selection is mind-blowing, making you want to try them all! Excellent dinner, a little big but great!! Thanks everyone!

Had a delicious lunch - trio lunch - soup from a jar, croquette and bread with delicious mackerel salad.

Delicious food and a very good drinks menu. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

We'd just come out of the Kiosk and wanted to take a nice picture of the Servaas Bridge from the sidelines when a heavy rain shower broke out. The staff at 't Pothuiske called us inside to take shelter, and we were in the mood for coffee. Win-win. Very cozy atmosphere. Fast service. Nice café to spend some time in. The terrace has a great view, and the service was quick and friendly. Delicious coffee! The restroom is down a few steps, but clean and fresh. The previous user had apparently had problems with the toilet paper and hadn't cleaned up. We almost stayed for dinner, but we still wanted to explore Maastricht. Who knows, maybe next time ☕️🍬

Nice pub with delicious Limburg pie with whipped cream

Amazing place - attentive staff, nice beers, nice views! What's not to like!

Great place for a break in Maastricht. Friendly staff and fast service. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious food. Cozy terrace and very friendly service.

Terrible experience, very rude staff not willing to do anything - very high prices 18 ml beer 3,20 euro - def not to recommend - AVOID THIS PLACE !

Situado justo a la izquierda del puente que conduce al centro de la ciudad que viene de la estación central (en el lado del centro de la ciudad) , este es el lugar perfecto para ir antes o después del concierto de Rieu (10 minutos a pie lento) . Comida y cerveza de estilo local. El Kasteel Rouge es increíble y se sirve en la copa Kasteel adecuada, muy apreciado! Principalmente asientos al aire libre en sillas cómodas. Aquí es donde siempre voy después del concierto de Rieu, se ha convertido en una tradición anual para mí, el final perfecto para una velada maravillosa en Maastricht.

Solo tenía 4 días para Andre Rieu y encontró este lugar la primera noche y volvió todos los días antes de la noche. También comimos un día. Personal super amable elección de cerveza brillante la comida era muy buena. Realmente disfruté de este ritmo mirando sobre el río. Hablé con el dueño, buen tipo. En general si en Maastricht recomendaría encarecidamente una visita. . además de nuestro guía turístico Ronan recomendó no saber que ya habíamos estado allí dos veces 🍺🍷

Delicious cappuccino with pie, top service

Service was awful. We had spend many evenings there and some evenings service was good. But on Sunday 13th we were there earlier and later that evening, male waiter noticed us earlier but ignoring us and served native customers arriving after us. So we changed to another place and we won't visit that place anymore. I would like to know what was the reason.

Ambiente cálido y excelente cerveza IPA en el Café 't Pothuiske de Maastricht Mi amigo y yo visitamos el Café 't Pothuiske en Maastricht, en julio de 2025, y nos encantó su encanto acogedor junto al río Mosa, cerca de Sint Servaasbrug. Las dos cervezas de barril IPA eran frescas y sabrosas, y el amable personal realzó el ambiente acogedor. Ubicado en el animado centro histórico, es perfecto para relajarse entre las pintorescas calles y lugares de interés de Maastricht. ¡La excelente cerveza de esta joya y su ubicación privilegiada la convierten en una visita obligada!

top team, always friendly and hospitable.

A very cozy spot. We sat on the terrace, but it's really cozy inside! The restrooms are really modern compared to the rest and very well-maintained! The entire staff was super friendly and helpful, all the drinks were served quickly, 🍺🍻 The beers were delicious, and there's a very large beer menu to choose from, including several beer tastings. The food was also delicious! Neatly served and delicious. We will definitely go back 👍👍👍👍

Cappuccino and rice pudding are delicious!

Zeer gastvrij en correct tijdens een extreem warme avond! Overduidelijk onderbemand en toch langer open gebleven. Mijn respect en dank!

Compared to the Vrijthof, very affordable, had a nice sandwich with friendly staff and during this warm period plenty of shade on the terrace 👍

We discovered this café by chance and immediately sampled their wide selection of beers. We really liked the beer selection. It was very pleasant to sit there, and they even offered a large snack plate. A perfect afternoon at 35°C... We'll definitely be back.

Very tasty sandwiches and friendly service

Delicious beers on the spacious terrace

Simply great!! Here, the host Coen and his team are the epitome of hospitality and service. Ambience combined with a delicious kitchen ensure pure enjoyment on both the terrace and cozy inside. Furthermore, the owner Coen regularly provides live music on the square, which makes it even more pleasant to stay at Het Pothuiske. Settling down here is immediately feeling welcome and imagining yourself on vacation. Excellent hospitality is in the blood of the owner and his team and you notice that immediately.

Friendly staff, delicious coffee, and the onion soup was also very tasty!
