Lebowski in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

Young and old people. The day of this review lots of 80s and 90s music.

What a mess here! Years ago, it was a nice, cozy place with friendly service. I stopped going back then because it got really bad. Tried again today. No table service, fine... I'll go to the bar. A guy with hair in front of his face completely ignored me. Didn't want to speak to anyone. Just stood there swaying back and forth. The rest of the staff seemed stoned as a kite too. It is simply unbelievable that you hire people like that as staff. I don't understand at all how this still exists in this way. They should truly be ashamed of themselves for treating guests like this. Deliberately ignoring you... looking right through you. Don't go here. At the place next door, you get served properly. This place is a shadow of its former glory. Big goodbye.

Very good food, the Parmesan truffle fries are highly recommended. Tasty sandwich with fried chicken. Very nicely decorated and good taste in music.

Good food for a good price. Can really recommend the loaded nachos.

I got the Lebowski as a tip from a local. My young daughters went to the Lebowski on a warm Saturday evening. The terrace was completely full and it was nice and quiet inside, so we were able to take a good look at the cool interior. The staff was friendly, and the food and drinks were good.

Friendly staff, delicious food, nice place

Impersonal, only about making a profit

I love the food and ambient. Very good portions, staff is friendly, soul food is great.

Great restaurant and bar near church in centre of City. Lots of young people hanging out for drinks and food. Fantastic service from very friendly staff. Good choice of cocktails and beers. Food was very good . Looks like a great place to go in the evening for dancing, music and entertainment. We only went for late afternoon drinks and food but the atmosphere was great.

Good wings, abomination of a taco !!

I went there the night of the Spain vs Portugal match i think? The atmosphere was crazy, everyone smiling and cheering. They have a lot of spaces and tables outside with a low illumination which i love, very central, accesible, and for what I've seen they have a lovely bar with chair and some big tables too

Cozy cocktail bar with amazing cocktails, even customizable to your own taste. Nicely decorated, reservations are highly recommended!

On Saturday afternoon, with my 14-year-old child. Just fine coffee and hot chocolate. It wasn't busy, a few tables occupied. Nice interior, pleasant music, cozy decor. Friendly, efficient service.

The fries with truffles were very nice 😋

Very good, characteristic and pleasant atmosphere

Great selection of cocktails and bar food. Main dishes also looked yummy but we couldn’t order as it was too late and kitchen was closed. Great atmosphere for summer. Nice and friendly staff.

If you are into funky themed bars then this a must stop in Utrecht. Came to try a different cocktail bar and ended up trying their amazing fries, so worth it! I love how the whole bar is themed like the movie and the staff couldn’t be nicer. Will defo come back at some point!

Delicious food. Fast service. Ordering via QR code from the table – very convenient, including payment. The food was tasty and plentiful. The lemonade was great!

You have to pay for the bathroom even if you have eat and drink there

Yo have tu pay for the bathroom even drinking here

A business with a twist, fun, different, and with plenty of knowledge and expertise in-house.

Bad bitterballen, good Guinness

When it comes to atmosphere, this is one of the most interesting spots in Utrecht! With a wide variety of drinks to choose from, there is something for everyone! Only annoyance is that you have to order from a QR-code and it sometimes is too dark to scan the QR code.

Beautiful bar, amazing espresso and totally dog friendly:)

Nice music cozy space and nice food 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 nice staff aswell

Remains a nice place to visit. Cozy and atmospheric.

I came here on a Saturday night and it was very busy. We ordered wings and one of the platters with pulled pork. Wings were EXTREMELY salty and the pulled pork was dry. Garlic bread was also cold in the middle. I gave one stars because the two women waitresses we had were nice and there is good beer selection.

Cool bar! Music is a bit too loud for me, but the staff is nice and the vibes are laid-back and 'gezellig'

I had a truly terrible experience here. A Spanish guy serving me ignored me and was far too busy watching the football match to help me. Once he did pay attention, he was arrogant and dismissive. The beer and food were fine.

Can get busy, but part of Utrecht culture

A charming spot in the heart of Utrecht. Just next to the Dom Tower. I loved the dimmed lights inside, it makes the place feel very cozy! We ordered some burgers and they were good but our bans were very chewy. They were difficult to bite and also not really easier to bite so all of the group suffered it a bit. However, they tasted really good! After the burgers we got our drinks and they were very yummy. I think it’s a cool place to pass by if you are in the centre of Utrecht!

I still had a fifth of my mojito left, and suddenly the waitress took it away 😮. Even FC Volendam doesn't make mistakes like this. Otherwise, it's a great place, great beers, etc.

Amazing atmosphere, nice staff, decent prices!

Vivid vibe, nice music excellent staff.

Doesn't serve the drinks that are offered in the menu. Standard cocktails not available. Available cocktails are too small

Lebowski burger and classic sandwich were super delicious! 👍 if sitting outside, you need to order and pay via QR code, no contact with a waiter so no need for tips

Lovely terrace in the center of Utrecht. The Lebowski Tripel is highly recommended!

After many years, I went back for New Year's Eve. The interior was really nice! The music was quite loud, though, and the beer, unfortunately, was in plastic cups.

Great place! We had sandwiches that were more like burgers. Incredibly delicious! We were so impressed that we went back the very next evening. Unfortunately, the pulled pork sandwich was cold that night and it was missing the BBQ sauce... hence the one-star deduction. The ambiance, service, and decor were all top-notch!

The ambiance was okay for a dive bar. However, the waiter was very annoyed and was mostly unreachable. The drinks were rather poor. We ordered a Wild Berry Lillet and received a rosé sparkling wine with lime?? The mojito was also mediocre. I wouldn't go again and wouldn't recommend it. There are definitely better places in the city. Cheers everyone 🍸

Terrible service, we reserved for a large group and were given 2 four tops where people had to sit with their backs together. When we asked to turn the tables (since we were in a corner with no one next to us but the staff cleaning station) the server only agreed with an eye roll and a sigh. It was hard to get the server’s attention all night so in 3 hours we only ordered 3 rounds of drinks. The food is all frozen stuff that they hide in a bunch of cheap sauces to make it seem edible. None of our large group will be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Really cool place if you want to chill out somewhere for an hour or two really cool interior nice helpful staff

Irish people behind the bar last night gave excellent service really reminded me of proper hospitality

Nice bar, unfortunately got back 1 euro too little change.

Perfect environment! The bold guy working behind the bar, was so helpful and kind! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good prices for drinks. I have no idea about the food because we didn't order any. The guys were excellent and helpful.

Don't go here, staff most grumpy people ever, €4 for 100ml beer

I really like the bar but they didn't let me go in just to got to the bathroom ( I was already drinking something outside from the bar )

Great place. Nice variations in level throughout the building. Delicious food and plenty of drink options. Attentive service!

Cozy café with a small menu. Definitely worth a visit.

The atmosphere is good, and the interior is very nice. The service was okay, but the English-speaking staff reacted a bit irritated when Dutch was spoken. And I was given red wine in a water glass.

A truly beautiful place, superbly decorated, great selection, and excellent service. The milkshakes are fantastic, they're worth their weight in gold! And a fantastic pinball machine!

The tables are dirty, and the ashtrays are full. If you ask her to wipe the table or empty the ashtray, the waitress becomes irritable. The food, drinks, and ambiance are nice. You should still try; you'll likely find another waiter.

A homemade lemonade is really nice! But for €4.95, you'd expect more than just three sips and a glass full of ice...

used to love this place but the service has gotten really bad. had to wait 45 minutes just to order and it really wasn’t that busy. food drinks and vibes are still good

Amazing food and good cocktails. Service is a bit slow though.

Last night's waiter handed us our two drinks—he had to sneeze. Didn't he tilt his head to the side or something, and actually sneeze INTO our drinks?! I gave him a side-eye look like, "Um, I hope we get new cocktails..."? He just gave us the drinks we sneezed into. So much and so disrespectful, YUCK!!!

A nice, central spot for a drink. You can also grab a bite to eat, but be sure to try some very simple pub grub. Or, as others have described it: a bit bland and very salty. And yes, the music is set to "table companion unintelligible" (even on Wednesday evenings before eight o'clock ;-)

The waitress was very rude about the tip and then got angry about the offensive language, while everyone on the terrace agreed that this never happened.

A very nice place with a great atmosphere. We had some gin and tonics, and they were quite nice. Definitely a good bar, and I would go back.

We stopped here right after completing our visit to the nearby Dom Tower (Domtoren). Arriving around 12:00 🕛, we sat down at one of the outdoor tables. From the first glance 👀, we immediately appreciated the unique and alternative style of the decor and, more generally, the theming of the establishment. The reference to "The Big Lebowski" (the famous Coen brothers' film 🎬) is obvious, starting from the name of the place itself. In any case, we ordered some cold drinks given the heat 🌡🥵 outside. The staff were friendly and the prices were generally reasonable. The bathrooms 🚾🚽 were generally tidy 🧻🧴. The location is obviously strategic. I recommend it 👍.

Bad quality in food, the patty of their best seller burger was tasteless and the bun distasteful. Would surely not recommend this pub for food.

My favorite bar in Utrecht! The food is average (Hello The Netherlands) but the drinks are good, the atmosphere and decor are great and the prices are affordable.

I’ve been here a few times with friends, but I would not recommend this place. Very expensive, service is bad and the drinks sizes (cocktails and wine) are definitely getting smaller.

I didn't get my money back after being refused service because I didn't have an ID. It's perfectly understandable that I wouldn't be served alcohol (even though I'm 25+) if I didn't have an ID, but it's strange that you don't get your money back...

very rude waiter, dont go waste your time

Food is trash. Menu SEEMS appealing, but they really tart it up with nice words (and very high prices). “Nashville hot chicken” ended up being three tiny frozen chicken tenders from the super market with a bit of seasoning.

Nice place for a drink, but the food is really awful; a student makes it even better. The Nashville hot chicken was literally three chicken nuggets and a pickle.

The food is a plate-service affair. Delicious and well-prepared, but just enough. Service is fast, and keep in mind that almost everything is in English. The menu too! The atmosphere is cozy with a mix of furniture, so nice!

Very bad service. I had to stand up to call the waiter to order our food, then he brought us 4 out of 5 burgers. Also, didn’t have a fork, had to stand up again to go ask. Burgers were dry and simple, bread of Albertijn. No separate bills. Two stars because the fries were good.

Of the four staff members we dealt with, three were unmotivated. Find another job if you don't like it. The fourth was friendly. The apple pie was too dry.

At first glance, this seemed like a nice place to meet up with a group of friends. We sat inside, but didn't really get served… we had to keep going to the bartender, and then someone from the waitstaff would be sent over. The patio took priority. The food was okay, but not great.

Incredibly rude waitress. It's a nice place, by the way, but when a waitress doesn't know which beer to serve to whom and you try to help, you get yelled at.

I'm surprised by all the positive reviews about this place. If you think you can expect good cocktails or food here, I have to disappoint you: that's absolutely not the case. We ordered a White Russian, and everyone knows it's served with cream, but here they just put milk in it. The wine was served in a glass that had clearly been through the dishwasher for years and was completely disgusting. It gives such a cheap impression. For these prices, you expect quality, but this was a disaster. Never again.

A busy establishment where, if you can find a seat, you can sample good food and drinks.

¡Encantador barcito! Paramos como parte de una visita en autobús y llegamos para un almuerzo tardío. No demasiado ocupado... buen servicio... buena música! La comida fue probablemente la mejor comida de pub que he comido mientras estaba por aquí y es una pena que no es mi local, ya que me encantaría venir aquí de nuevo. Nuestras dos comidas eran encantadoras. Los baños bajan por escaleras empinadas... no estoy seguro si tienen acceso para discapacitados.

For a restaurant with this kind of pricing and being in the centre, you'd expect a perfect service. That is unfortunately not the case. Had to urge the order and even then we had to wait for additional 30 mins, while the place was almost empty. Cannot recommend, sorry. Improve your service, mates.

Places like Lebowski have much more importance to the city than we think. I feel like they change its vibe, make it better and more lively. I come here every now and then, sometimes to get a good meal, or to have some nice beer with friends. At every time of the day, this place is enjoyable. I’d surely recommend coming here at night too though :)

Delicious lunch for a nice price! Cozy terrace.

Food is good and service is decent. The only minus point for me was that the plate my food was served on was chipped at several places. Would have been 5 stars if the plate wasn't damaged.

Whatever you do, do not procure their house wine. It has a substantial undertone of brake fluid and a not so delicate note of old socks.

Amazing bar that always has a good vibe. In a amazing location infront of the Dom

Terrible and rude service. They didn’t want to serve us cocktails as simple as gin tonics which takes literally 1 minute, because they were “too full”. While we had been consuming food and drinks for hours.

Delicious sandwiches. Nice patio.

Nobody goes to a bar at 8pm for the music, but mainly to talk. The music got louder and louder, until at 9pm we had to shout to hear each other. Why is that? Nobody wants this. Nobody dances. This just seemed to stroke the DJ's ego. Just turn the music up to background music. Beer was nice though.

Best ribs I ever had in my life! 🤤

Super nice and atmospheric place! I stay here over for a bit of absinthe

Delicious bar food in what feels like a mature dove bar. The portions were great, and the fire were perfectly soft on the inside with an outside shell. The pulled chicken taco was very good! If you wanted fries on the side that would be extra, but between the milkshake and the tacos, it’s was very filling!!

One of the better bars of Utrecht

The cocktails are terrible, I'm sorry...that is, you can improve in my opinion because the place is very nice

My White Russian milkshake was really nice, but my friend had red wine and it was a bit strange that it was served in a regular glass. Apart from that, the staff was hard to reach most of the time :(

My rate 3/5. This is my 3rd times here. The last 2 times were better. Now the food quality was dropped. Before it was more like a restaurant now its more like a bar. We have leftover food but they don't have take away bag it was a shame. It was busy so it's hard to get their attention. It's a cool place hopefully it would be better next time!

Bar for young people, excellent payment system at the table and quick service. Waiters sometimes clumsy, I often saw part of the glasses spilled. Food ok.

Holy Hellll, good music, good vibeessssss

Cake and coffee were quite okay

I decided to come back here again after a good experience, but this time I was not so satisfied. To start we ordered the pistachio milkshake as indicated, but unfortunately it was thin milk with a chocolate mint flavor. Fortunately, the service was quick to correct it and removed the milkshake from the bill, thank you. Then they disappeared for a long time so that we ended up having only one or two drinks per person in two and a half hours. My last drink never came. Then it took a while before we could pay. I don't understand how they make a profit... I was looking forward to trying the cocktails but there isn't much variety, everything is with lemon and lime. The food was okay for bar food, nothing special. Enjoyed the music!

Nice place nice interior, however one of the servers was very rude to us and refused us service without proper reasoning.

Beautiful place to have a nice chat with friends. Great interior. But unfortunately the service was not attentive to the drinks and the food (vegan rendang Fries) was really salty. And I don't know if they do that so that you drink more or if the chef was over-the-top with the salt, but unfortunately these fries were not recommended.

Super cozy place for a drink in the evening! There is a very nice atmosphere, everyone is pleasant and not just tourists or young people but a good mix. We used the QR code on the table and that worked fine. Cocktails were not expensive and plenty of choice.

Waited 30 mins to order. Waitress simply ignored me and walked past. Saw 7 other tables get served that arrived after me. Left after 30 mins.
