Cool location, I have never been this deep into the Jordaan. This corner of the Driehoekstraat is…read moredefinitively something special, the home of the van Wees legacy. Watch out, though, to not get lost in the true Bermuda Triangle of Amsterdam - the distillery, the tasting room, and liquor shop. The distillery itself is not generally open to the public, but the true aficionados can make an inquiry for a special tour (only on Fridays at 4pm). But do not despair, the jenever is always there at their Proeflokaal (tasting room).

But, in this magical farm house they serve delicious jenevers and the beer flows like the Amstel river and there are snacks and nobody is obnoxious as if they'd all taken an oath of coolness (but not "cooooolllness") before entering the magical, mystical farm house. I can hardly wait to return. Birds chirping, water watering and good company. This is what afternoons are all about.

The owners distill their own typical Dutch jenevers here, and 'likeurtjes' after ancient centuries old original Dutch recipes. They also serve wines, lemonade, beers and cider. All eco-consious, paired with typical bar snacks like cheese, typical Amsterdam raw sausage called 'osseworst' or peanuts. No lunches here, no dinners, just these drinks and their own amazing distilled strong drinks. Closed on Mondays. Hire bikes and go here when the sun shines!
