A cozy bar in the shadow of the Gouda church. Delicious drinks, bar snacks, and live music every Thursday night.

Walk around the church from the square and you’ll find our door: soft lighting, warm sounds, and a bar that slowly fills up and stays cozy and warm all evening. We’re Checks: a place to get closer to one another, catch up over a drink, and let the evening last longer than planned.

No kitchen, no fuss... just well-poured drinks and snacks to keep you going.

Thursday, live music from 8:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

A different face every week, different sounds every week. Musicians on Thursdays, no cover charge, no stage. Just a corner by the window. Come early—the best spots get taken first.

Drinks, snacks, and music

From bitterballen and gyoza to Karmeliet on tap, a good glass of wine, and a premium cognac. View the menu
