Traveler reviews
Lucia Barreiros
★★★★★5 months agoVisited In ’t Aepjen after it was recommended for the atmosphere, and it definitely delivers. The place is tiny, so seating is limited, and there was only one member of staff when we arrived, but he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. There’s a large selection of beers, and the whole place feels like a little museum full of character and history. A nice mix of locals and a few tourists like ourselves made it feel lively without being overwhelming.
