There are so many pubs, shops and cafés on the Spuistraat, that it’s easy to miss this little gem, but definitely keep your eyes open if you like cosy pubs with an excellent selection of beer including the powerful Zatte from the Amsterdam IJ brewery. The interior is not unlike a brown bar, with perhaps the exception of the mounted stag’s heads, the TV, which is only tuned on for local sporting events, and the old leather headrests that line the wall. You can order a full menu of classic Dutch cuisine and finger food from the Haesje Claes restaurant next door.
