You can't beat the atmosphere or the prices. If this is the oldest bar in Amsterdam , they must have kept their prices the same since 1550, because €2 for a beer is absurd in 2015.

Felipe

Oldest bar in Amsterdam , since 1550. The different selection of beer from the tap is simply fantastic. From Palm Royale to La Trappe double, you can't go wrong with your choice. Nice staff .

You have to visit while in Amsterdam- one of the oldest pubs built in 1519. Called the “Monkey Bar ” as sailors used to pay with monkeys !!

Party Earth

Zeedijk has many brown bars within close proximity to each other. In warm weather it's a popular place to hang and mingle with the mix of bar crowds, often reaching block-party levels on weekends. Read more

Oldest bar in Amsterdam ! Worth stopping by for a beer if you’re in the area, they have their own house-made beer .

Jenners

lovely, historical pub - one of two surviving wooden taverns from the 1500s! sailors from the east indies used to pay their tab in monkeys .

???????????????????????????? ????????????????????????

Used to be that merchants returning home from trading in faraway lands would come here for a drink using ????s they brought back with them as collateral for their beer tab.

Rumored to be the oldest bar in Amsterdam and being a touristic attraction , this place still preserves the spirit of long gone past. If you want to try genièvre, do it here

Tero Angeria

Beautiful pub . Well worth a visit. Very funky decor..

Rumored to be the oldest bar in Amsterdam . Try Palm Royale for 4.20 euros. Pretty good prices and cool decor.

Historical bar in Amsterdam downtown. Good atmosphere. Service is terrible but it’s ok...

Adam Nowek

Amazingly cozy . Best for a cold winter evening.

The oldest bar in town which itself is a sightseeing. Ask for a shot of genever .

Karin Gattringer

Great beer selection , they even have their own.

izi.TRAVEL

It was the first bar where instead of cash sailors could pay with various objects they brought from overseas. Legend claims that sailors often paid their bills with monkeys . Read more

Good atmosphere. Decent beers but great genevers like Loyaal. A bit too small for crowded evenings.

Artem Shuster

Один из старейших баров. Моряки оставляли в залог своих мартышек, если не могли расплатиться. А теперь тут много чучел. Интересно, долги погашены?

Arnold

Oorspronkelijk heeft Amsterdam vol gestaan met houten huizen. Van deze houten huizen is praktisch niets overgebleven. A'dam heeft nog maar 2 houten huizen: Begijnhof 34 (±1425) & 't Aepjen uit ±1550

Arnoud Aalbersberg

mooie klassieke stamkroeg met evenzo mooie pluimage aan mensen
