About us

Café de Pilaren is no ordinary pub. For years, this Alkmaar bar has been a second living room for loyal regulars, thirsty bands, lost students and anyone who loves a good chat and a beer.

What can you expect? A chalkboard full of sharp-witted nonsense, a tap that surprises you and live music that makes your heart burst open. Come on in, pull up a chair and don’t feel obliged to do anything – except maybe stay a little longer.
