What User doesn't like about Canal Lounge:
In a nicer canal location on the water is this small barge converted into a bar. Seating is cramped and there is no sound-deadening so expect to shout to be heard. But very cute look.

Had a chance to visit the canal lounge a few days ago and had a great experience. The ambiance is chill and relaxed and the service was great. There isn't a huge selection of drinks and they do not serve food but if you aren't picky and just want to get a simple glass of wine, this is a nice spot to go to. You may even be lucky enough to get a seat outside! View all feedback.
