| De
Admiraal Herengracht 319 (625 43 34).   A
'proeflokaal' (tasting house) where you can sample the liquors of Van Wees,
the last of Amsterdam's independent distilleries. Museum-like interior with
lots of brewery utensils. Not exactly true to tasting house style, De Admiraal
stays open until late in the evening, and if you stay that long you will
be pleased to know there are comfortable sofas and armchairs. Wonderful
outdoor patio.Open 4.30pm-11pm, closed Sun.  [3 reviews, avg 9/10] |
| East
Of Eden Linnaeusstraat 11 (665 07 43).  True
to its name, East of Eden has a distinct tropical flavor to it: yellowish
walls, cane furniture, painted elephants behind the bar, and lots of light
through the high windows. It has a large terrace with a good view of the
nearby Royal Tropical Institute. East of Eden attracts a mixed crowd of
locals and, during the day, visitors of the Tropenmuseum.Open 11am-1am (3am weekends). [3 reviews, avg 7/10] |
| Eik En Linde Plantage Middenlaan 22 (622 57 16).  Archetypical
Dutch 'brown' bar, a favorite among locals. The history of Eik en Linde
goes back as far as 1858, and the walls are plastered with historical drawings
and photographs. Beware of the clock behind the bar which runs backwards;
although truly confusing this still might be considered a lame excuse. Open 11am-1am (2am Fri-Sat, Sun 1pm-2am) [2 reviews, avg 8/10] Gollem Raamsteeg 4 (330 28 90).  The
first bar in Amsterdam to serve imported beers, nowadays stocks over 200
bottled beers, including the famous Westvleteren Trappist! Most of the beers
are served in their own special glass. A list of all beers served with a
short description of each beer is available, in Dutch as well as in English.
Very popular and very crowded.Open 4pm-1am (2am weekends). [31 reviews, avg 9/10] Hoppe Spui 18-20 (420 44 20).  A
famous Amsterdam institution, Hoppe consists of two adjoining properties.
The part on the right has been a bar since 1670, the interior reflecting
its rich history. The sand on the floor is refreshed daily, no music is
played and there is standing room only. The left part is bigger and offers
seating as well as music. Hoppe is a very popular bar with the crowd spilling
out onto the sidewalk on summer days. During happy hour it fills up with
expensive suits on the way home from the office. Open 8am-1am (2am weekends). [13 reviews, avg 8/10] Int Aepjen Zeedijk 1 (626 84 01).  One
of the oldest bars in Amsterdam, housed in the only remaining 15th-century
home, heavily decorated with old toys and advertising materials. The name
means 'In the Monkey', which refers to the time this was a sailors lodging
house. When someone couldn't pay his bill he supposedly brought back a monkey
on the next trip. No music, but a accordionist during weekends to guide
the regulars during their sing-a-longs. Open 3pm-1am. [8 reviews, avg 7/10] 't Loosje Nieuwmarkt 32-34 (627 26 35).  Very
old, brown bar with a lot of character on the edge of the Red Light district.
The interior features beautiful tile tableaux dating from the beginning
of this century. Attracts a mixed public during daytime, but caters mainly
to students during the evening. Outside terrace with a good view of the
Nieuwmarkt square.Open 9.30am-1am (2am weekends). [7 reviews, avg 9/10]
