Bier & Crafted Cocktails
Bier is an integral element of Lowland European ethos. Belgian bier is as paramount and prevalent in Lowlander culture as cycling commutes and moules frites. Here at Café Hollander, we worship world-class bier with wholehearted reverence, sourcing the best exclusive biers and preserving their dignity by serving in the proper glass. Whether it’s from a goblet or tulip, feel confident you’re going to consume storied bier as it’s meant to be when you visit any Grand Café. Our comprehensive beverage program extends well beyond bier to crafted cocktails, wine, zero proofs, and killer coffee to hydrate all your hankerings at Hollander. And don’t even get us started on our award-winning Bloody Marys…
