Known forbruine kroeghistoriclocal favoriteno tourists
One of Amsterdam's smallest and oldest brown cafés, tucked into a narrow alley near the Spui, dating back to 1798. Order a jenever or a carefully selected whisky — the collection is legendary and the bartenders know their stuff. It fits maybe 15 people, so arriving early is essential; it's closed Sundays and Mondays.
