Nannes
At Nannes, it feels like you’re sitting in your own living room, just with a better view and a bit more buzz. It’s the kind of place where everyone is welcome, whether you drop in spontaneously or stay for the whole evening.
The name Nannes isn’t just a name. It’s a tribute to a well-known local character who used to help park cars near the old post office in Hilversum. His signature phrase, “kom maar hoor” (“come on in”), still lives on here and gives the place its own unmistakable identity.
You’ll find Nannes in the heart of Hilversum, on the corner of the Groest and the Kerkstraat. There’s a spacious, sunny terrace outside, perfect for settling in. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with rich materials, thoughtful details, and a striking marble-and-brass bar as the centrepiece. Cosy corners are scattered throughout, so you can always find a quieter spot, even when it’s busy.
The vibe is relaxed and lively. The bartender is happy to pour you a great craft beer or mix you a cocktail, and as the evening goes on, the music picks up and you’ll find yourself moving along with it.
Nannes is a brown café 2.0, with a menu that matches the atmosphere. Expect dishes like steak tartare, risotto and smashed burgers, alongside satisfying snacks and daily specials. If you’re just in for drinks, there’s a wide selection of beers on tap, cocktails and quality wines to choose from.
This is the kind of place you come for one drink and end up staying much longer. And before you know it, you’ll be saying it yourself: come on in.
