De Ooievaar

De Ooievaar is a hidden Amsterdam proeflokaal tucked in a narrow alley, renowned for its traditional kopstoot pairings served since 1782. The bar's specialty, a 70ml pour of 'jonge jenever,' is poured from a 20-liter oak cask that has been reused for 15 years, enhancing its smoothness. This experience is 50% quieter than #5 Bols House of Bols, with only 3 tables available for a more intimate setting, and its pricing at €6 per pairing is cheaper than the average €9 across comparable venues.
