It’s been a while since I had such a good service. Coming from the hospitality industry makes it really hard to find a place where standards are set high and people are looked after as they deserve. Amsterdam lacks good service all around but “De Eland” has it all. Beer is served cold and in the best possible way. For the kind of bar it is… it represents the local culture in a way any locals and specially tourists will have nothing to complaint about. Definitely recommend it wether you just want to sit have a coffee and see life passing by or want to have a good time with your friends and enjoy the night near one of the best areas of the city!
Ps: The female bartender over the weekends is a star! She doesn’t like pictures taken btw… for people’s privacy sake 😮‍💨🙏🏽👌🏾

Nice small cosy cafe with relaxed atmosphere. We stopped in for a drink while exploring the city. Staff were friendly, and the Heniken was delicious.

This is the real Amsterdam frequented by locals and one place where as long as you are not too loud you too can fit in. Walking around Amsterdam can get tiring and eventually all of the streets, shops and canals can start to blur. Here is a beautiful pub where you can relax and smile again. There is table service. It’s great for drinks and polite conversation. You can sit outside or in.

Authentic Dutch brown bar w a nice view outside. Okay service, drinks a little pricey for half pint drafts.
