Zandvoort Bars

Laurel and Hardy Bar Zandvoort - Click to enlargeThere are many bars to visit in Zandvoort – some at beach cafes and some in the village. In the summer months, the beach café bars are open until late, usually bustling with people, many of whom are day-trippers from Amsterdam. Loud music and a lively atmosphere are usually the main features of these cafes.

Some bars are even themed such as the Laurel and Hardy, a wonderfully friendly and characterful bar in Haltestraat decorated with memorabilia from the famous comedy duo’s era.

Next door to the right of the superb Laurel and Hardy bar, at Haltestraat  44 is the Williams pub which is run by and mostly frequented by British people and here, darts and pool may be played and traditional style English food may be eaten washed down with English beers. They even have Sky TV and a large screen on which one can generally see any important sports fixtures.

This English pub style bar of course is very popular with British workers staying in the area as well as with the Zandvoort locals.
