A gem in Amsterdam, this store goes way back to when everything else was closed, Sterks was open…read moreuntil 3-4 AM. But this is not just a wine, beer, liquor store, it has fresh bread, pastries, every beer ever made (it looks like), fresh made take home food (to heat up), groceries from the States, munchies and even a large champagne section! See my previous review on this place from four years ago. Still going strong!

This is the same store as Sterk Delicatessen. They just have really late hours so I guess they're…read morealso an avondswinkel. Their prices are high but they have nice stuff, like high quality pastries and bread products, American cereals and fancy chocolates. I'm most impressed with their club mate selection. They even have the club mate cola and the iced tea!

I also wanted to check out the selection to see what kinds of stouts were on offer. The helpful employee and I made beer-related small talk, and he had several helpful suggestions. When I let him know I'm lactose intolerant, he took the time to check if there was lactose in one of the stouts for me. Sadly, turns out there was so I wasn't able to sample a peanut butter imperial, but I left with a smoked porter and a gingerbread stout, after some pleasant conversation and perusing. Too bad the tap system is no longer functioning or I might have stayed for a cold one. A visit here is recommended!

Beers are segmented by flavor profile, along with "Fancy Shit," a highlighted section of bottles. Also available on site is a draft growler fill area for takeaway. Philip and Brent each walked me through a large variety of local options, as well as several other continental offerings. Prices range from ~€2.90 and up, so you can make your own six-pack without overspending. Growler fills were in the ~€8-10 range. Give them a try - they're sure to please!

They had a promotion while we were there so we grabbed the Laphroaig 25 years & Glenfiddich 26 years for 20% OFF! Omg I was so excited! You can't get this price in the US!

I don't really like to drink much since I'm a light weight, but my friends do. We went over here to purchase some prosecco and sweet wine, so we can enjoy them before hitting the clubs. Most of the bottles here cost under 5 Euro which cost as much as a small glass of wine at a bar, so you are really saving money. This location is also conveniently located under Albert Heijn Market which is a a perfect stop to grab cheeses, grapes and crackers to compliment your delicious wine.

They have a nice selection of wines from Portugal, as one of the guys is Portughese. Expect a fun and varied selection here. I also appreciate their wall of 'wines under €10' which are usually really good. Just goes to show you don't need to break the bank to drink well. Also, we had a win tasting here for my husband's 30th birthday. They essentially got us all (about 14 people) drunk on good, varied wines. The guys that run this place are really nice and especially helpful. A great spot in Oud-West!
