review of Best Pub & Bar in Leek on Restaurant Guru

Welcome

A brown café the way it should be

Wood on the walls, enamel signs, copper taps and an atmospheric bar: Café De Oude Bank in the centre of Leek has been known for its cozy atmosphere since 1969.

You come here for a specialty beer, a game of pool, the pub quiz, or simply a good chat at the bar. You can also celebrate your party or get-together here.

The music is always good: rock, blues, R&B, soul, jazz and Dutch pop. The house style is classic rock
