All establishments on this list have experienced and passionate staff who love to tell you more about different types of Dutch beers or geneva.
In the 17th and 18th centuries Amsterdam was the centre of the European beer and spice trade, and out of this grew a tradition of distilling 'medicinal' spirits, that developed into a full range of liqueurs. Proeflokalen (Dutch word for tasting taverns) specialise in these alcohols, and they have a disturbingly large range of beers and traditional liqueurs that you will never have heard of.
