Governor

Beer lovers will be in their element at Gouverneur – Maastricht's premier craft beer café. This place has been a hit for years. Nowhere else in the Netherlands will you find a "beer tavern," except at this Maastricht location. They also serve over 300 (!) specialty beers and have a large, sunny terrace. Perfect for a leisurely drink in Maastricht.

Brasserie Tapijn

Brasserie Tapijn is located in Maastricht's Stadspark. The name refers to its former location: a Tapijn barracks. These historical references are reflected everywhere, from the industrial interior to the décor. It's no surprise that you can also get married at this unique venue.

The Cheese Bar

Cheese lovers should definitely visit De Kaasbar, where the cheeses and matching wines are eagerly awaiting you. Tip: go for the cheese and wine tasting, where you pair four different cheeses with three wines and one port.

Harvey Bar

Harvey's Bar is a trendy spot in Maastricht, where you can sit comfortably indoors, but on sunny days, you'd much rather sit on the terrace. They serve lunch, drinks, and dinner, so you can practically spend the whole day here.

Light

On the edge of Maastricht's city center, you'll find this cozy hangout, which also houses a cinema. First drinks and then a movie is the norm here. The location is unique, as Lumière is housed in the Timmerfabriek, a former power plant and two boiler houses.

Gastrobar Dock Five

Not far from Lumière, you'll find Gastrobar Dock Five, where you can just as easily linger after drinks for a leisurely dinner (do it!). A cozy spot with a shared dining menu where you'll instantly feel right at home, even if you don't live in Maastricht.

My friends

At this wine restaurant (the wine is just as important as the food here), you'll savor local flavors—both on your plate and in your glass. A favorite of the YourLBB team in Maastricht! You can enjoy four to eight (!) courses with paired wines, but you can also go à la carte. Their wine expertise is truly exceptional. A real tip for wine lovers!

Wine bar Via Mucca

At Wijnbar Via Mucca, you can sample truly special wines, some from their own vineyards (and, of course, from the surrounding area). And everything is available by the glass, should you want to sample all the delicacies for an evening. Besides an extensive wine list, they also serve smaller dishes and snacks. They don't serve dinner, but luckily there are plenty of other hotspots on the same street.
