    Chilled atmosphere. A few beers on tap. Didn't see so many English language books. Nice place for a stop off

    Rather expensive drinks but beautifully designed place. Not sure about the book thing, they seem to be decoration only :-P

    The staff is quite unfriendly. Would rather chop mint than take your order. The cocktails are nice though.

    Mooi nieuw concept. Of je voor een boek komt, of gewoon om stevig te drinken, het kan allemaal in de vernieuwde Bal!
