It took some time, but the cocktail culture finally reached Amsterdam. There are now plenty of bars to explore in the lively city and here are three that we recommend.
Wynand Fockink
When it was first opened in 1679, Wynand Fockink was a combination of a distillery and a liquor store. Today, the bar still has the authentic 17th-century look featuring plenty of wood. There’s no better place to experience the authentic spirit of Amsterdam.
The Butcher
The Butcher is a famous burger bar and making a reservation is mandatory if you want to enter. Send them an email and you’ll get the time and password to enter.
Hiding in Plain Sight
Just like its name says, it’s easy to miss this bar if you don’t know it’s there. Once you’re in, you will find a menu filled with classic cocktails and unique creations that you can’t have anywhere else.
