Waterkant B.V. in Oostelijk Havengebied

By far the worst experience I’ve ever had in a bar. I ordered beers for my wife and me and sat next to a Turkish couple, we sat in the bar in front of the bartender, so he saw me and I paid to him!!!! When my wife arrived, I went to the bathroom. About 10 seconds after I started peeing — with my pants already unbuttoned — someone suddenly burst violently into the bathroom and PULLED ME OUT BY THE EAR It turned out to be THE BARTENDER, who was way bigger than me, He wrongly assumed I had sneaked in from outside, even though I was already a paying customer sitting inside the bar. Because of how violently he grabbed me, I ended up peeing on myself. I explained the situation, and the Turkish couple confirmed I had been sitting next to them. Only then did he realize his mistake, apologized, and refunded me. While returning the money was the right thing to do, it does not change the fact that I WAS PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED WITHOUT ANY JUSTIFICATION. I cannot understand how a bar can employ someone who behaves like this. A simple “Excuse me, the bathroom is only for customers” would have been enough. Instead, I was treated aggressively and humiliated for no reason. A completely unacceptable and disturbing experience. I’m posting this so others are aware and hopefully don’t go through something similar.

We had a fantastic evening with six friends! My apologies to the neighbors. It was a few years ago, but you had to be there!

A great experience! I was a voter at this location on October 29th, thank you for the wonderful experience.

Cozy place with a beautiful cat, friendly people and a very welcoming environment. We really like to be here in a very cold winter day. Also would recommend the hot chocolate
