Kafee Kix in Centrum

I've never written a review before, but I'm going to make an exception. There's a wheel behind the bar in this pub where you can "win" things. We arrived and I thought, fine, fun. One spin costs 2 euros; I'm willing to spin for 10 euros. "Spin 5 times, okay?" said the man behind the bar. The first time I spun, I won a free punch card for 4 spins. Fine, that's nice. They spun again: 4 Apfelkorn. Again, 4 beers. Again, 6 beers. Again, 5 Flügels. The bartender cheerfully poured everything and made it clear that I had to pay for this now. If you read carefully, it says >ORDER!!< 4 beers on the wheel - not win. Order 6 beers, order 5 Flügels. I had won the Apfelkorn, but I had to pay for the rest! With 4 spins left to go, I said stop, that's it now. We were halfway through my turns, and that 10 euro spin turned into €32.00 that had to be paid. "This isn't the intention," I said, "here is your money back." That wasn't possible anymore; we had to pay, otherwise we weren't allowed to leave. There is a sign on the wall next to the wheel, behind the bar, stating that nothing can be exchanged, so you don't have a leg to stand on. In my time, I've seen many pubs and also many of these kinds of giveaways. Never one where you "win" an obligation to buy drinks. They make good money with this, I understand that much. When I then get into an argument with the student who has a weekend side job here as a security guard and say to her: "I really don't think this is acceptable," she doesn't say a word - no pun intended. I then said: "Think carefully again about this wheel and how you do this." She responded with a dry "no." By the grace of God, the Flügel was still closed, so we could return it. After paying 22 euros, I had everything poured into plastic cups and left quickly. I never want to come here again. In the ratings here on maps, I read many comments along the lines of 'spin the wheel, always a winner. Definitely do it, man!'. I cannot believe these are genuine reviews.

All I did in this place was drink Guinness and play pool all night, excellent

Super friendly staff and definitely a nice place to visit!

Very nice. Being young again for a moment.

Great place if you're looking for party music, Brabantian coziness...but especially for spinning wheels and exotic elixirs like Butterscotch, N**k, and Apfelkorn. A regular stop whenever I'm in Eindhoven looking for an unconventional night out and a proper hangover cure.

Very good tent. Always party music and a good atmosphere. They only serve the beers without straws.

Very nice pub that has been around for 40 years

No triple, small glasses, nice music, fine bartender, needs to look for another job

Ive been coming to the kix for years, i love turning the wheel. But sometimes they let arrogant ‘retarted’ people inside. And then they dont care if you’ve been spending €100,- of euros on the wheel. They dont care about their customers as long as u spend more money then the rest.

wannabe Ferry Bouwman behind the counter who accused us of theft after we spun his wheel and failed to pay for our drinks. Stick your wheels where the sun don't shine.

I was harrased by Ferry. Dont go xxx

friendly service, spinning wheels, cozy cafe

Very bad. Gave me pure coke with no alcohol. Free snoop dog bigup upstairs pre rolls

Great party. Bachelor party held. Great service.

Kom er weinig maar op Koningsdag was de bediening vlot

Nothing special, pub atmosphere, music... the usual stuff, doesn't particularly stand out in my opinion

Nice climate and reasonable prices

Beautiful pub!!! Nice staff, always a good atmosphere, 9 out of 10 times pleasantly busy (enough people inside, but room to turn around). Definitely recommended to drop in if you are on stratum!

Beetje rustig, dure pils (zelfs met korting). Oja, korting geldt niet als je aan het radje draait 🤯...🍻

It's exactly what you'd expect. Run some wheel of fortune misfortune, dance to some mid music, and convince yourself you're having the time of your life

Geweldige kroeg en leuke activiteiten door de week en in het weekend

Top radje, 2 euro in ruil voor 9 bier. Prima deal!

Niet zoveel van meegekregen, maar ratje draaien was goedkoop dus 5 sterren!!!

It is a good place. Me and my friends go frequently at this place in the weekend.

Atmosfera gioiosa.. Nel cuore della città..

We waren hier deze zaterdag, leuk café niks mis mee! Wat alleen heel jammer is, is het glas op de grond! Mijn vriend heeft een heel groot stuk glas in z'n schoen gekregen. Kortom, een grote glasbak hier binnen! Erg jammer om onze avond te moeten eindigen op de spoed, glas splinters.

Nice place, friendly smiley people. Kind employees

Met wat geluk kun je hier de hele avond gratis bier drinken door flyers om gratis aan t rad te draaien van de grond te plukken. Het stinkt hier wel maar de sfeer was wal op en top

Gezellig café, verschillende ruimtes houden het gezellig en niet te massaal. Radje draaien garantie voor plezier.

Mooi cafe, vooral het radje draaien

Ben niet ouder dan 23 als je hier gaat feesten

Echt prachtig kafeetje, helemaal los gegaan.

The floor is perpetually sticky, the music way, waaaaaayyy too loud, and it's a rip off with respect to the beer price. 2 bucks for a beer that on any decent restaurant would be considered a taster is just sad. Would not recommend.

Aan de gast die 3 puntjes pakte op de wc, ik hoop dat je een leuke avond hebt gehad

Hier begint (of eindigt) je stapavond. Draai aan het radje!

Heeft een erg leuk radje om aan te draaien

Op zaterdag is het hier gezellig

Goei plaats om vrouwen te ontmoeten die blijven plakken. Twee voorbeelden: onze linda en cecile

Leuke kroeg, leuk personeel. Alleen soms een beetje leeg

Gezellig feestcafé! Aanrader om te radjedraaien!

It's an okay place, but sometimes there is too many classic dutch songs in a row and foreigners cannot follow them at all.

Good atmosphere both when full or almost empty

Lekker radje draaien! Fijne ruime kroeg.

The Kix is a small bar but the bartenders know what they're doing and even though there often aren't a lot of people it is still lots of fun.
