A 'coffee' shop. A friend once described it as like the bar from Star Wars ('A New Hope' if you're not a Star Wars geek). People like it though. Note it's on the corner of Molenstraat and Prinsestraat

Charming panorama painting of the nearby Scheveningen beach showing life as it was there in the 1890s. The 19th Century equivalent of an IMAX cinema.

Nice little cinema. Also, famously the place where Wittgenstein met Bertrand Russell immediately after the First World War (it was then the Hotel Deux Villes - you can still see the sign).
