Proeflokaal 't Kelkje in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

Highly recommend. Lovely owner and drinks.

Excellent and very pleasant bar, hidden next to a very busy street, we had génépi and beer, both excellent, the bartender who manages the establishment is really very nice, he was able to recommend drinks to us (not the most expensive) and was very patient with the language 🫶

This is one of those bars that truly stand out. Relaxed yet buzzy atmosphere. A very knowledgeable and friendly host who somehow managed to find time for every customer despite a full house. Selection of beers is terrific. The range of their own distilled jenevers even better. In a city full to the brim with great bars, this one will be my first port of call on my next visit. And the kicker: their prices for top quality products are less than what you'll pay in most nearby venues for standard drinks. Winner!

Great place close to the red light district but still very quiet on the canal! Good gin and delicious beer + old cheese and pickled onions!

A gem in the center, where the world takes a break, while enjoying a spicy Jenever or special German barley drink.

Cozy place with home-made gin and beer.

What an awesome place, the bartender had amazing service and really knew how to help with recommendations of Jenever, since it was my second time tasting. Really enjoyed the vibes of the place.

Great selection of beers and lovely atmosphere. The owner was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Good steers on the beers!

Had a few (German) beers here on a Friday afternoon. Nice old-fashioned pub with a friendly bartender.

A traditional bar/pub offering a wide selection of German beers, perfect for enjoying a quiet drink. We arrived around 3pm on a Friday when it was empty but by 4pm, the tables quickly filled up. The bartender was so friendly, talking us through the beer options and giving recommendations based on our taste preferences

Really great cozy bar, with an amazing selection of German lagers. They are also specialized in jenever, but that's not my jam, so I can't judge. Service is also really good. No food avaliable except cheese, dried sausage, and peanuts.

Returned after several years and it is still an amazing tasting room. Quality selection of beers and self made Liquors. Great service and nice restrooms.

Very unique bar in Amsterdam. Simple and welcoming environment away from the tourist attractions where you can breathe a very special atmosphere. Excellent selection of draft and bottled beers and a large variety of self-produced liqueurs. Very friendly service and popular prices. Highly recommended!

This is truly one of the reasons to come back to Amsterdam. Amazing beer variety with Lambics and Franconian lagers, which are arguably best styles in the world right now they go hand in hand with one of the best in class craft liquors in a glass you can imagine to accompany your beer. The place might be a clear definition of "cosy bar". Can't wait to get there again and ask for blackcurrant drink with my kellerbier

A good collection of beer and a fantastic bar tender.

A quiet place in the middle of red district. The owner is very kind.

Nice beers, gins and liqueurs, although the latter are sometimes a bit on the sweet side, but even that can be worked on! Kudos

A few meters away from 'the hell that is the Red Light District', a cozy tasting room, without music and with friendly service. An excellent range of drinks.

Delicious German beers and home-brewed gin. An innkeeper who thinks along and knows what you like. Being helped in Dutch in the middle of Amsterdam. Where else can you find that? Had a very pleasant afternoon.

Quiet and atypical bar right next to a very touristy street. A real little corner of pleasure with an adorable server.

Wonderful proeflokaal in the heart of the city.

Fantastic atmosphere. Come for draft beers. Went away with a really good idea of ​​what a "Geneva" is 😁

A really nice cozy bar with a helpful owner that make the experience great

Great pub with a living room feeling

Cannot say enough about this bar. It should be an institution. A neighborhood gathering spot. It was so great that I had to return, which I rarely do at any establishment. Great location next to a canal and right off of a very busy/touristy street. An escape from the crowds, it's like you time warp into an older time when a barkeep was like the local mayor. The options and the quality are off the charts. They make their own spirits, some unique genever, carry some other great European booze, and the highlight is the German beer offerings, both draft and bottle. They had stuff I can't even find in Germany! For food, a small board of old cheese and fresh salami is available. Everyone who comes in is genuine and they're for good company and good drink. I can confidently say this is one of the best bars in Amsterdam and it was certainly one of my best memories from my visit to a great city.

Awesome place. Tim is a top guy. We had a very good time

Friendly and welcomong place for an early high quality beer

The guy behind the bar really takes the time to make sure you get something you like. Lovely mix of locals and visitors.

Discovered by chance and very happy with it 🙂 Great beer selection, super kind service, awesome place.

Excellent pub, amazing local liquors, the barman knows everything you could think of

Incredible experience. Atmosphere is full of camaraderie and the bartender treats you like a person. The jenever is an awesome experience to drink. Highly recommend!

Tasty beer, friendly bartender, cute dog, chill waterfront vibe. What's not to like?

The best local place in the city with delicious liquors.

A bit off-touristy despite its location but the selection of drinks is fine, prices are fair, and the owner is a nice chap.

Na een trieste ervaring bij Wynand fockinck werden we gewezen op dit proeflokaal om de hoek. Wat een verademing was dit! Geweldige plek met mooie jenevers, lekkere pilsjes en een topvent achter de bar. Hij was relaxed, behulpzaam en geen greintje arrogantie te bespeuren. Voor een ieder: sla Wynand over en ga hier heen.

Amazing place and a lot of spirits to taste!

Tested several jenevers, all good, ended with a kopstootje and after a great explanation of the jenevers I went home with a bottle I loved the most

Klein en een gezellig kroegje waar je lekker kan zitten én kan praten, en waar geen muziek wordt gedraaid. Wij hadden een likeurtje Venusolie én een biertje. Toch blij dat ‘t Kelkje niet ten onder is gegaan met de pandemie

Een pareltje! Heerlijke collectie aan likeuren en natuurlijk de korenwijn. Je zit daar heerlijk relaxed! Erg vriendelijk personeel! Hapje en bier erbij! Top

Duitse bieren en Amsterdamse likeuren!

A wonderful place, no music - only conversation, and a most hospitable barman with a most envious selection of German and Czech beer and Dutch jenever. We tried some, were served and drank some and took a bottle (black currant) back to Poland with us. When we come back to do the other museums, we'll visit the naughty part of town only so thal we'll come here again.

Lovely place with amazing beers and a very friendly bartender. Hidden from the touristy crowds. A breath of a fresh air.

What a great place. The bartender was amazing giving just the right advise on as well the beer as the amazing Jenevers they produce. I will come back!

Great selection of beer! The beer specialist at the bar will always gladly help you.

Heerlijk. Geen muziek, goed Duits pils, een rustig praatje, een rijke selectie jenevers. Bier tot zijn essentie teruggebracht, een destillaat in alles; hier het goede en verder niks.

A very low key Beer and Gin/ Jenever spot right downtown. The beer was excellent and served in Steins, the atmosphere was casual and had a nice neighborly feel, and the service (Tim) was excellent, we enjoyed it so much we went twice!

Lekkere likeuren, jenevers, bieren en zelfs wijn. Fijne plek met goede rustige sfeer

Een top locatie met een bijzonder goede, zelf geïmporteerde, selectie van bieren en zelfgestookte likeuren, geserveerd door de kundige eigenaar.

Très Agréable personne une très bonne connaissance des alcools super!

Un endroit discret ou il fait bon de déguster des bons produits dans une ambiance sympathique.

Leuke gezellige plek voor een borrel met vrienden ♥️👌

Fijn lokaal om rustig die heerlijke, mij onbekende, biertjes te proberen. Amsterdamse borrelhapjes met lekker zuur garnituur. Alsof Baantjer zo binnen kan stappen...

Absolutely amazing! The place is cozy, the staff are super friendly and the drinks are not like any other place in Amsterdam.. 5 stars!

Eén van de beste biercafés van Nederland. Het personeel weet veel van bier en kan je altijd aan een goede keuze helpen.

Mooie kleine spot, goed duits bier, jenever en likeur uit eigen stokerij.

Pequeño lugar fuera de los canales, luminoso y bien ambientado. Elección de alrededor de 30 licores localmente destilados (cada uno con su propia historia) o Genveers, que es un tipo de ginebra. Además de cervezas artesanales. Así que un poco especialista pero muy divertido.

Mucha variación entre las cervezas alemanas y checas, también poseen licores y genevers destilados. Salchichas locales y queso.

¡Este pequeño bar está en el borde del distrito de luz roja y fue un lugar genial! Un lugar perfecto para probar docenas de sabores diferentes de ginebra holandesa (genever). Recomiendo encarecidamente la ginebra de tarta de manzana o la de canela. Definitivamente no soy un fanático de la ginebra, ¡pero estoy después de esta experiencia! El hombre que trabajaba en el bar era genial y nos dio sus recomendaciones sobre lo que deberíamos intentar y, como los únicos estadounidenses que estaban allí, ¡todos nos estaban enseñando a beber la ginebra!

Alguna vez has querido probar todo tipo de ginebra holandesa (ginebra) y luego visitar este lugar. Lo hacen en muchas variedades y también en la holandesa, cuando estás pensando en algo dulce. Además, Tim sirve cerveza de barril de Alemania. No te vayas sin un gusto (o una botella) de su famoso Tim Gin o pídele a Tim que te haga su tipo de gin & tonic. Espero que tomes un taxi a casa después. . .
