III Draakon
A candlelit tavern tucked inside the Town Hall basement, where you can drink elk soup, eat pastries, and experience medieval hospitality from costumed staff.
III Draakon is located in the basement of the Town Hall on Town Hall Square, owned by the same group as Olde Hansa. The tavern is very small and dimly lit by candlelight, with staff playing medieval roles. There is no regular menu; you order based on the signs, and no utensils are provided—soup is drunk straight from the bowl. The main offerings are elk soup, meat or vegetable pastries, and honey beer, and you can grab pickles from the barrel after ordering. Reservations are not accepted, seating is extremely limited, and there are queues during peak hours. Price reports vary: some sources state items cost a few euros, while 2026 reviews mention the soup is around €12; please refer to the prices on-site.
Opening hours
Most sources list 11:00–22:00, Fri–Sat until 23:00 (Sunday hours vary by source and may change seasonally)
