Quality of Drinks
Typical Dutch café leaning on Belgian beers but with a small range of new wave Dutch beer and the standard Amsterdam lagers. Jenever on offer and a well stocked backbar.
Style/Décor
Preserved reddish brown cafe with aged wooden fittings, rickety furniture and boxy mezzanine level that feels almost like being on a tall ship. 
Atmosphere/
Character
A perfect venue either for slow afternoon reclining, Sunday day drinking or buzzy night time boozing. 
Amenities/
Events
Limited food selection and equally limited outdoor seating.
Value For Money
Expensive, but this is Amsterdam.
Description

Tremendous characterful, slightly ramshackle old joint in brown café style. Traditional backroom area and similarly pleasant front bar area.
