| Traditional Dutch brown cafe on two floors. As you enter, you are greeted by a warmly lit bar partially contained beneath the staircase to the upper floor. The spacious upper floor helps create a snug beneath it with a horseshoe of continuous benchs seating around a single large table. Wood panelling throghout; walls filled with drawings of Amsterdam Old Town and old photographs. Pleasant, subdued lighting afforded by tungsten rose-tinted candle-bulbs. Outside seating provided. No music or fruit machines to intrude; solid conversation buzzes around the pub - mainly in Dutch as it is not on the main tourist list or stomping-ground. Unfortunately, no IJ beers on when I visited on 21st March, but Palm, Amstel and one or two well-known Belgian beers were available. I was soon in conversation with a group of friendly locals from Denmark and the Netherlands, one of whom was kind enough to buy me a beer! A very pleasant place to visit, if you are walking past, step in and have an Amstel. lad_newton - 23 Mar 2009 13:16 |
| An Amsterdam classic! Delft tiles, old stove, beer from the T'Ij Brewery and friendly staff. jesuit - 10 Mar 2009 18:26 |
