A quiet corner in party central

This is a real corner of Old Amsterdam right in the middle of the hectic melange of Nieuwendijk. The bar is L-shaped, which actually makes it feel like two separate bars. The beers on offer are the usual Amstel and Guinness, but they also have Amstel Light and what is for me a special treat, Palm Speciale, from Belgium on tap! The only food offered are the old-fashioned bar snacks of bitterballen, uitsmijter (a kind of ham-and-egg sandwich), and nuts. This is a perfect place to sit and sip a beer during the day, watching all the people rush up and down the street, or come nighttime to have a quiet chat with new friends over a few beers. You don't have to party all the time in Amsterdam - if it all gets too much, head down here for a bit of peace and quiet.
