Directions

Amsterdam's original craft beer café, open since 1974, with an extraordinary selection of Belgian and Dutch beers on tap and in bottle. The dark, wood-panelled interior feels genuinely old Amsterdam — this is a place where locals have been debating beer for decades. Note that it's a beer café first and foremost; food options are minimal, so eat before you arrive.
