Wynand Fockink Proeflokaal and Spirits - Pijlsteeg 31
Amsterdam's Oldest Tasting Room
The authentic ‘Proeflokaal’ (Dutch for tasting room/bar) has retained its 17th century character and product assortment. A great variety of genevers and liqueurs is served here. Among the various liqueurs you will find many Old Dutch liqueurs such as ‘Volmaakt Geluk’ (Perfect Bliss), ‘Bruidstranen’ (Bride’s Tears) en ‘Hansje in de Kelder’ (Jack in the Cellar). Liqueurs such as ‘De Boswandeling’ (A Walk in the Woods) en de ‘Half en Half’ (Half & Half) have made Wynand Fockink world famous. Next to these delicious liqueurs, genevers and fruit brandies, you can also enjoy some excellent draft beers. The distinctive Proeflokaal that houses a very special collection of antique bottles still maintains the tradition of bowing for the first sip.
In order to preserve the individual character of the bar (and also we are not a big bar), we do not allow groups of more than 7 persons at a time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of our favorite experiences of our visit to Europe! It's a bit difficult to find, but when you get there you feel like an insider discovering something historic and wonderful. The drinks themselves were delicious and the bartender was generous with samples and quick with quips and jokes. We also loved our long and friendly conversation with the gentleman who worked in the sales section and chatted with us about politics, culture, and the history of the business - he even took us for a quick spontaneous tour of the facility they used to make the products, which we greatly appreciated. This was one of our favorite experiences in our eighteen-day trip to Europe, and the hospitality and quality here was so delightful that it played a large part in elevating Amsterdam to our favorite location of the trip!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very cozy place for a drink. The staff was very helpful in explaining the variety of traditional spirits and letters liqueurs they sell, including a bit of their history. It is small, though, so expect close quarters.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very fun and interesting experience. The staff in the tasting room was very helpful and informative, and a little sassy, in a fun way. A big variety of flavors, and they let us try many before ordering. They fill your glass up all the way to the rim, so you have to take your first sip with no hands. One customer (from guess where) tried grabbing the glass with his mouth and knocking it back like a shot, and the bartender yelled at them! It was very funny.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must visit when in Amsterdam. The staff are really helpful and the drinks are all pretty amazing. I’d recommend the salt liquorice flavoured liquor.
Also worth popping in to see the celebrated Hans.
