The Duke Of Oz

Sehr gesellige Kneipe mitten im Centrum von Leiden, direkt an eine Gracht (Canal) wo jeden Freitagabend livemusik gespielt wird.
Dementsprechend voll ist es dann aber auch, aber die Preisen sind ok, und die Bedienung ist nett.
Ich liebe die Atmosphäre und die Geselligkeit.
Kann dieser Kneipe jeder weiter empfelen.

Want to know the toughest part of being an American overseas? Finding a place to watch the Super Bowl!!! When I studied abroad in the Netherlands sometimes I searched for that little piece of home that was comforting and said «hey, its all good.» For me, that thing was the Duke of Oz on superbowl sunday in Leiden. I had been to this bar many times in my many months spend in Leiden, but it just so happened it was one of the only places airing the game.
Not only did the drinks taste extra good that day. If I can recall — and this was tough because I may have indulged in one too many Heinekens — they were serving up free food and snacks. Beer… check! Food… check! Superbowl… check!
Now if you can imagine anything wrong with this picture you have some serious issues. But on that faithful night there was only one thing that would have ruined my most sacred Sunday and can you guess what that is? The game was broadcasted on a British station THEREFORE you guessed it… NO AMERICAN COMMERCIALS. Now if that wasn’t a buzz kill I don’t know what is.
I really can’t complain though, can I? Living in a foreign country, drinking the Netherlands finest, and watching the big game? Doesn’t get any better than that.
