Proeflokaal Arendsnest on Herengracht is Amsterdam’s premier Dutch craft beer bar. Every tap and every bottle is brewed in the Netherlands — over 100 beers in total, many from small independent breweries you will not find anywhere else.
If you think Dutch beer starts and ends with Heineken, this place will change your mind in about ten minutes. The bartenders know every beer on the menu and will guide you through flights and tastings. Ask for a recommendation based on what you normally drink — they are genuinely good at matching people to beers.
The setting is a classic Amsterdam canal house on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Herengracht. In summer, the canal-side terrace is prime real estate. Open daily from mid-afternoon until late.
