Great beers, tasty food in a busy bar

It's a busy and buzzy bar with loud music and a good atmosphere. Lots of tasty options on the menu and some good beers to try.

Great place!

Loved the ambience and food. The entire menu is vegan, so it felt great to have a choice for once :D
Friendly staff, tasty food, I could not wish for more after a long day of walking.

Good food

I was doubting between 3 or 4 stars. It's nit because of the food, but the service was lacking.
We had the kapsalon and the kapsamosa. Both taste very good.
But the service. They told us to sit in the part at the back. There were 2 other people sitting there. They took our drink order and we received our drinks fast. Then no one came for our food order. It was busy outside. They were probably busy with those people, but they knew we sat inside. It took about an half hour before we finally were able to order. Food then came quickly.
There was a concert in Rotown that evening, so more busy, but still. Also wasn't clear who belonged to what restaurant or café.
Also, my first choice of food was sold out, that early in the evening.

Yummy food and amazing beer!

A cool place to have some food, in the back room of Rotown. I had a Kapsalon (local treat!), which was very tasty! The size was a bit too small for a main course, I definitely could have had more food. The beer choices are nice!

Geweldig!

We hadden de roti, rendang, tournedos en de burger en het smaakten ons (4 personen) allemaal even goed. Een absolute aanrader deze zaak achterin bij Rotown.

De drank komt bij Rotown vandaan, dat betekende bij ons dat de dubbele espresso vergezeld werd door een koemelk cupje en een niet vegan koekje.

Pros: Vegan eten, Leuke locatie, Lief personeel

Pros: Good options, Nice vibe, Nice staff

Cons: It could get pretty loud

Yet another reason to visit Rotown every chance you get

The typical beer smell of a concert venue put me off at first, not what you’re looking for for lunch. But the food was good, enjoyed the ‘kip-kerrie’ sandwich. Very affordable as well.

Not the fastest service even if it was very quiet. Non-vegan cookies with the hot drinks is stupid. I love rotown as a concert venue, i enjoyed the food, just change to lotus cookies or something and make it vegan.

Food and atmosphere really perfect

Everything was even better than expected. The whole menu is vegan and the food was amazing. Good variety of food including Indian and Indonesian dishes, as well as burgers etc.
Staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was incredible, as the restaurant seems to be located inside an old concert hall. Great music selection too.

Heerlijke salade, prima ipa van de tap, appeltaart toe en dat voor een schappelijke prijs. #Veganuary

Pros: De bediening was helemaal ok, Kimchi behoorlijk pittig , Hippe ambiance

Cons: Saaie, eentonige muziek - punk achtig

Good food, but big miss serving non vegan biscuits with the tea

Love their all vegan food, plenty of variety on the menu, and reasonable prices. Some great desserts!

But: they are situated in another venue (Rotown) and the bar is run by Rotown. And they don't get veganism, apparently, as they have served me a non vegan biscuit with my tea and coffee several times now.
Backstage says this cannot be helped, but if that is so, this should be announced clearly on the tables or such, as the Backstage customers expect everything to be safe to eat

Pros: Desserts are great. Have the crème brullee people!, All vegan menu, plenty of choice, Friendly proprietor

Cons: The non vegan bar is confusing

Good but not exceptional

Generally good but they overcharged us and the service was kind but not very attentive. Burgers were generally good but not special. Great though that it’s almost vegan. All the food is vegan but they do serve cows milk for drinks…

Amazingly tasty vegan pub food

We had the kapsalon and the kapsamosa and both were incredibly tasty. It was hard to decide because everything on the menu sounded good so we will have to come back for sure.

Good

We started with appetizers and it was really delicious. Then we ordered a burger and something else. Both dishes were very spicy. It was too spicy for me, although my boyfriend liked it. It is a pity that the waiter did not specify, about the sharpness. However, everything was very tasty.

It was August 4th

Delicious

Really enjoyed our lunch here! Staff were very friendly and helpful, just be cautious that not all drinks provided are vegan due to the bar being separate l

Best Kapsalon Ever

Great music at a reasonable volume level so it wasn't uncomfortable. Best kapsalon I've ever eaten, and the server was incredibly friendly and helpful! Will definitely eat here more often.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Music at a level that isn't uncomfortable

Cons: The smell of smoke occasionally drifts inside

Great food, fun atmosphere

We really enjoyed the food here, which was good quality and had good portions. I had the Green Oatburger, my partner the bread with hummus, tapenade and oil. Both were good and the Blood orange juice was very nice as well. The ambiance is not what I expected from a snackbar, but it was fun and different (like a rock bar). A bit loud though, so if you're not in the mood for that you might want to go somewhere else.

Pros: Great food
