De 12 Balcken
About
Texel visitors find De 12 Balcken, a local business that operates as a pub at Weverstraat 20, 1791 AD Den Burg, Netherlands. Den Burg sits inland at the heart of Texel, one of the Dutch Wadden Islands, so the pub places you in the island's main village rather than on the coast. The address on Weverstraat puts De 12 Balcken in the centre of Den Burg, within reach of the other villages listed nearby, among them De Koog, Oudeschild, Den Hoorn, De Cocksdorp and Oosterend.
As a pub, De 12 Balcken serves as a drinking and meeting place in Den Burg, and its standing is reflected in a 4.6 out of 5 average gathered from 1631 reviews. That score, drawn from a substantial number of ratings, marks it as one of the more reviewed venues of its kind on the island. The pub's website, http://www.12balcken.nl/, carries its details for anyone planning a visit.
Opening hours run from 10:00 to 24:00 Monday to Friday, with a late window from 00:00 to 01:30; Saturday adds 00:00 to 03:00 alongside the same 10:00 to 24:00 span. On Sunday the pub opens from 17:00 to 24:00 and again from 00:00 to 03:00. Five photographs accompany the listing.
Texel sits within the Dutch Wadden Islands, where a maritime North Sea climate keeps summers mild and winters cool, and the weather shifts readily, with May to September the busiest stretch. Dutch is the everyday language on the island, which helps when ordering at the bar. Local cooking draws on North Sea seafood, lamb and dairy produced on the island, and regional specialities such as Wadden honey. Ferries and boats from the Dutch mainland coast bring most visitors across, and flights reach some of the islands.
