Lebowski in Wijk 06 Binnenstad

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!!

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

One of the better bars of Utrecht

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!

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 :(

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.

Nice speakeasy vibes in the bar at the back/top of Lebowski. You can sit comfortably there (the chairs were not necessarily very comfortable. But it does exude the retro/vintage atmosphere that suits such a bar. And the cocktails were excellent. I recommend that you reserve a spot to avoid disappointment.

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.

Soggy, sweet roll with a greasy hunk of meat slapped on top… for 15 euros. You also get an orange-colored substance that looks a bit like cheese. The dude does not abide, I think.

Here you are not allowed to accidentally step on someone's foot, otherwise security will come after you, especially if you are 'non-Dutch'. We expect an apology.

Unfriendly staff. Couldn't take a seat with a group, even though there was room. Treated unfriendly, curt. When we ordered a bottle of fine, we received soft drink glasses. When asked if there were any wine glasses, the answer was a short “no”. In short, bad service, big mouth back and unfriendly staff.

Had an absolute blast, beer amazing, food is better, great vibe, awesome music!! Bathrooms are dope. Nothing bad to say :)

Waiting for an order for 15 minutes in an empty bar is a no go. It is a cool bar but it is a bar. No apology after I complained.

Do yourself a favour and skip this spot. Nachos were bad and the corn dog was worse. Clearly meant for students too drunk to taste what they’re eating.

Gran lugar para parar para tomar aperitivos y bebidas. Ambiente divertido y buena comida. El personal era atento y nunca demasiado ocupado. Gran selección de cervezas.

Very cool place, good food, especially soup was delicious. Nice and friendly staff.

Not recommended. Service and order via qr-code does not work. Service not coordinated. We waited for 2 beers half an hour!

Stopped in for a drink on a busy Saturday afternoon. You have to proactively seek out (friendly) employees. Nice seat by the door, with a view of the Cathedral.

We were a group of 10 people, and we had a great time! Very friendly staff

Super cozy and atmospheric place. Nice music and good food and drinks. The fries could use a little less salt.

They are very rude and indifferent… I would never recommend.

I visited this establishment around 1:30 AM with my wife to purchase a Pepsi, as it was the only place open at that hour. While the bartender inside was friendly and provided good service, our experience was ruined by an aggressive staff member outside. After purchasing our Pepsi in a glass bottle and heading out, a staff member began shouting at us about taking glass outside. When I attempted to ask for clarification about whether this policy applied to sealed Pepsi bottles, he refused to let me speak and continued yelling aggressively. His behavior was extremely unprofessional and hostile, especially considering we were unaware of any such policy and had not been informed about it during our purchase. His aggressive demeanour and unwillingness to communicate properly made us feel discriminated against as non-Dutch customers. This type of treatment is unacceptable for any business. Due to this experience, neither we nor our friends will return to this establishment. I would strongly caution other potential customers about the hostile treatment they might encounter here, particularly if they are tourists or non-Dutch speakers.

It is a spacious pub with a pleasant atmosphere. In general, their music was also enjoyable. Their menus are sweet too.

Nice bar/restaurant. The environment is quite unique. Good place for drinks with friends.

Cozy pub at the foot of the Cathedral. It was a great stay here

Great bar with a wide selection of drink and food, I enjoyed the atmosphere

Lekker gegeten. Goed personeel wat heel gemoedelijke was onderling en naar ons. Leuke open sfeer en goede DJ! We hebben echt genoten!!

We were here on a Monday evening with a group of colleagues for a drink. The decor and atmosphere is lovely, music is good, and there was a nice crowd even though it was a weekday. Unfortunately, the service was a bit disappointing. The staff was polite and friendly, but drinks took a while to arrive, and when they did, were served in random glasses because they didn’t have a lot of clean ones. A beer glass that doesn’t match the beer is maybe understandable, but drinking wine from a water glass is really quite a sad experience.

They don't understand hospitality here. When we took our seats, I had to take medication. Because we hadn't been helped yet, I quickly swallowed it down with some drink that I still had in my bag. The waitress immediately came rushing over to us to tell us that she was going to throw away the drink or that we could leave. I replied that I just had to take some medication and that we were simply planning to order properly. Then she threw the cutlery on the table without looking. After being treated in this way, we decided to leave. On the way out we were also called after because she wanted to discuss. Had a really bad experience here.

Made a reservation here for a drink with a group of colleagues. Unfortunately not worth repeating, despite positive experiences in the past. I was just really ashamed of my colleagues for the downright anti-social behavior of the lady serving. This concerned the person who was allowed to take the orders. From the very first moment, the response to everything was passive aggressive and extremely antisocial. Those who brought the drinks and snacks were friendly.

This was already on the radar before our arrival in Utrecht. It certainly didn't disappoint. Friendly, informed bar staff, quirky decor, and decent music made it more than cosy. So good, we visited twice. Check out the descent to the loos.

Nice place , cool beers and music

Top location right next to the Cathedral, great bar staff and open until nice and late. No comments

Very busy inside, so you couldn't hear each other without shouting... a shame if you just want a nice drink.

Music is too loud for a good conversation.

A little drink with friends in this magnificent place which deserves a stop! The decor is superb, as are the beers on offer! The only downside is a short wait to be served despite the off-peak hour in the bar... very good service though.

Bad service, firstly you have to order online. Then you give a note for, for example, honey with the mint tea. This is forgotten when serving. Then I immediately ask for it. Then I'm forgotten, so I have to ask again. The tea has now cooled down considerably and the honey is therefore not absorbed. We ordered a hot chocolate with whipped cream, but it was hot milk with a faint chocolate flavor. I understand that Utrecht is a multicultural city, which is nice. But it's still in the Netherlands. Is it a small effort for the waiter to ask if it can be done in English? Hospitality business, where's the hospitality?!

What a bastard. Bad operation Vodka shot served lukewarm

Ordering takes forever, you order a bottle of prosecco, you get your drink without glasses, ask twice for glasses, after 30 minutes there is still no glass in sight, and the table is downright disgusting; see photo:

An incredibly bad place, 15 people come in with 85 euros of beer and then order 50 snacks and after that we don't get any drinks and we are kicked out. Close to nothing because there are 15 of us, come on, nothing was done wrong, and then this

With a nice group of girls, just before twelve, asked if they were open.....answer...What do you think? In a very unfriendly tone. There was a broom blocking the entrance. Next to sit down (at badabing) two minutes later the broom disappeared......

If you like fruity flavors in beers and you don’t used to drink,you should Liefmans fruitesse. Another order is x star martini. The alcohol rate was good enough. The location was so good. After visiting the Dom Tower, we had pleasant time!

We were trying to order from 20:50. We were avoided consistently. We were helped at 21:04 after the kitchen conveniently closed so we couldn't order what we wanted. Not angry, just disappointed.

Loved the atmosphere and the decorations. Good place if you wanna have a drink while taking a break from sightseeing

Very bad service, food was burnt

Service unfriendly and slow, appetizers were just gross

We visited this bar, we just wanted to have a couple of drinks. We ordered a beer and a wine, finished them and for the bill. But when we were leaving, the waitress ran after us and told us that we left a mess.... The "mess" was a couple of napkins and beer coasters left by my baby. And my wife helped with cleaning it.... The behaviour of the waitress was so disrespectful and disgusting, I would never recommend visiting this place if you expect some respect and service.

Started with a nice evening, were drinking nice (expensive) drinks. A friend of mine brought spezi (a German drink) to try and the bartender didn't like it. We also got all the wrong food at our table... then they told us to finish our drinks and leave. Never go here again.

Next time just indicate that you don't like something without immediately threatening to throw us out after we have just arrived and ordered drinks. (sitting at the hanging lamp with a hat). In some bars, swinging the hanging lamp is actually a feature. I've been here 6 times already and it suddenly had a very strange vibe. I even brought new people along and you immediately ruined the whole mood.

Great place to grab a drink. There are snacks to go with the drinks. The menu is a bit confusing becuase V is both for vegan and vegetarian. Thr cauliflower bites are delicious.

A beautiful place crowded with visitors, located next to the Dome, and you will not feel bored due to the large number of people and sounds around you.

Went here for drinks while working, everything was neatly arranged. Friendly staff and a nice DJ playing music! Definitely recommended

The waiter gave me and my colleague a couple of white russians, great memory

Too slow the service.....but it was very crowded!!!I had to go to bar after half hour!

Atmosphere was nice & the drinks and bitterballen were tasty. Service was a bit less, the waitress was very curt and very direct. Not hospitable at all.

Nice tent. Definitely go for the atmosphere and tasty beers but... Call themselves a cocktail bar but serve the majority of cocktails in their own brand of beer glasses. These beer glasses are about the size of a whistle or small vase. It doesn't look like much, it's also half filled with ice and it feels like you're being ripped off. Cocktails are expensive (common knowledge), so if you go out and want to drink cocktails, you also hope for value for money and a nice presentation of your drink. This used to be the case with this tent. I've been coming there for years. Bar staff apologized and clearly found serving in glasses annoying, but indicated that this was policy. Finally they offered the actual glass in which the cocktail in question should be served. They just had this one. After pouring you saw how empty it was in the real glass, so luckily it was also refilled ;)

Martini is bad , very sweet, no passion fruit. Barman didn't understand my order for a simple Vodka Lime. Ended up suggesting I order a Moscow Mule instead (which was fine). Bittergarnituur just meh.

Cozy atmosphere. Lots of altos and there is good smoking by both customers and staff on the terrace. Furthermore, friendly people who help you and a nice view of the Cathedral. Drinks are good. Didn't order any of the snacks.

Love the vibe!! The milkshakes were very tasty! I prefer the cherry flavor, but you can’t go wrong with vanilla flavor either. The decoration is really cool. The service is quite fast, considering the place was quite crowded. I would love to come here again!

Nice place for a drink. But last Saturday's DJ was really rude to my girlfriend.

Lebowski is a bit of an alternative but really central spot. I've come here often and have always enjoyed coming here for a drink, but lately I've realized this really really isn't the place to come for food. Sure, the meals aren't extremely expensive, but they're just poorly put together. I had a sandwich with egg and avocado that was the most underwhelming lunch I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Today, I had the nachos, which were just super overpriced chips with a little bit of guaq and even a smaller amount of sour cream. I recommend going here for drinks because the vibes are nice, the service is good and the milkshakes are super good, but I'd recommend finding another place for food.

Very boring food. Nice spiced lemonade. Decent vibes staff but altogether there are better places

Ordered ribs and burger .(Massive portions so make sure you're hungry! )We enjoyed both meals .Very tasty .Good prices .Fast service and friendly staff .

How nice: at Lebowski they have their own beer. Fantastic interior, but at 28 degrees understandably everyone sits outside. It's a bit of a shame that everyone is smoking, but there's nothing you can do about that!

This is an amazing bar with great service and delicious drinks. They also offer vegan options. My only problem is that they removed the caipirinha from their menu! Please bring it back!

The beer arrived, was flat. Asked the bartender for a new one, he wanted to charge me for it. Had to have his manager to tell him its free. Then he didnt rinse the glass he used and got angry when I pointed it out.

Would not go back here -Service took very long and was inattentive -Weird that they allow smoking as the terrace isn’t ventilated and it came right in my face -I ordered a virgin mojito and I paid €6 for a little bit of sparkling water with a lemon. (Just be honest that you don’t serve virgin mojito’s) -Pointing that the mojito was just sparkling water, the manager very reluctantly gave me a small discount

Great capuccino, nice and relaxed atmosphere, slightly cheaper than other places

Really good beers especially “Lebowski beer” Very friendly staff
