Gastrobar Post is the culinary meeting place in the heart of Dordrecht for everyone who loves good food and drinks. Our large bar in the center of the restaurant offers space for our (special) beers, cocktails, and various wines. We love to surprise our guests, so our menu changes with the seasons. Post is located in the former post office building and centrally located on the "red carpet," the road that leads visitors to Dordrecht from the station to the city center.

The statue of William of Orange in Dordrecht, designed by Arie Schippers, was unveiled in 2019 by Princess Beatrix. It stands on Hofstraat, near the site of the First Assembly of the Free States in 1572. William is depicted with a dog at his feet, symbolizing loyalty. The pedestal bears the names of twelve Dutch cities that supported him in the fight against Spain. The statue caused some controversy due to local sentiments surrounding the De Witt brothers.
