Located in an historic brick tower not far from the Central Station, De Schreierstoren which is also associated with the VOC (Dutch East India Company) is rustically decorated and exudes a medieval air evident in its ancient timber ceilings and old ceramic liqueur kegs. The views aren't what one would call inspiring so take a seat in the back room for canal vistas or on the expansive terrace outside. Palm and Amstel are available on draught, but other bottled brews can also be ordered. You can eat pancakes, tostis, apple pie and even chicken satay not to mention a wide variety of the local hooch - jenever.
