Drie Fleschjes Proeflokaal

Unique little place. Friendly helpful young bartender. Love the concept. will definetly go back. Also 2 tables outside front door to sit at.

We ended our food tour here with Sean from Urban Adventures. We aren’t really big drinkers, but we are so glad we had a chance to stop by this place. The owner/​barkeeper was very nice and personable. He gave me a very light Jenever that was cherry flavored. The tradition is to sip a bit of the drink from up top before picking the glass up and enjoying it. He gave my husband the stronger one to make up for my light drink. There was definitely a kick to it. I wished we could remember exactly what he had, but unfortunately we forgot to write it down.
The bar is small and cozy, but amazing inside. It is one of the oldest bars in Amsterdam with a lot of history. The barrels lined up against the walls are fascinating and adds character to the charm this place holds.

Un bar pequeño donde se bebe de parado. Pero un lugar autentico, para beber cerveza o ginebra holandesa o degustar licores en la típica copa tulipa de holanda. Les recomiendo probar el corenwyn una ginebra Premium de más de un 51% de vino de malta con entre dos y tres años en barrica de roble francés, y hay versiones de seis y diez años.
Comí unas albondigas con aprika muy ricas tambien.

Amazing discovery from the Layover by Anthony Bourdain. We tried three Jenevers. The young Jenever was phew too much like jet fuel but the older ones were very good. Founded by Rembrandt in the mid 1650s, this place has a lot of history and you feel transported to a whole new era while looking at the barrels asking the wall. Very close to dam square but easy to miss.

Dates back to 1650. Amazing old world feel. They are proud of their jenever – the oude (old) and jonge (young)
What a treat to sample in such a setting. They pour the glass full so you have to bend over and take the first sip without touching the glass. Sometimes the jonge is served with a touch of bitters and often backed with a beer
The oude has been aged in oak barrels.
This is a place you can spend time in – no they don’t have table or chairs but who cares? Talk to the bartender and enjoy

Wer auf Genever (Wacholderschnaps/​Gin) steht, sollte diese Probierstube auf keinen Fall verpassen.
Das Ambiente ist wirklich sehr urig und lädt zum kurzen Verweilen ein :)

Oh, I love pubs like this, small, neat and with an old world charm. I mean even the barkeepers attire with his white shirt and neat appearance gave the place charm. Loved the barrels of liquor, about 36 of them stacked, each with a spigot attached to them. When I entered I was thinking you could get beer from the barrels, I asked for one labelled: Frank’s Friend or was it Frank’s Friends, something along those lines. No sir, I was informed you can order them by the barrel. They have numerous choices of liquor to choose from.
A little indecisive of what I was going to order, I was going to order a Duvel but I ordered the same as what my host were ordering a Grolsch.
I was going to leave this pub with only three stars for lacking seating, but forgiven, for such an upkeep part of history.
By the way, we came here after the Dam Palace tour. It was a little before 4pm, which means in New York City time, it was a little before 11am. Drinking before 11am, something I haven’t done since my early twenties.

Apparently one of the oldest bars in Amsterdam, and it looks it (I mean this in a good way! I like old things).
They have barrels of liquor along one wall and old nick nacks all around. They have quite and extensive amount of flavored liqueurs on hand and a list of different cocktails that can be made from them. I just had beer this time which is also okay.
If I go back (which I don’t see why I would not) I will for sure try one of their drinks and then update this review to let you all know how it was.

Dieses Proeflokaal existiert bereits seit 1650, ebenso wie die Häuser in der unmittelbaren Umgebung. Es besteht aus nur einem ganz kleinen Gastraum mit sehr wenigen Sitzplätzen. Zu essen gibt es nur Käsehäppchen. Es ist alles sehr spartanisch und gerade das macht seinen Reiz aus: Man kann sich gut vorstellen, wie es mal vor über 300 Jahren da zugegangen ist.
Für einen kleinen Abstecher auf jeden Fall lohnenswert!
