De Pieper Prinsengracht 424 (626 47 75).   One of the oldest brown bars in town dating back to 1665, and with lots of the original furnishings still in place, like the stained glass windows and the sand covered wooden flooring. Lovely but smallish outside terrace overlooking a beautiful part of Prinsengracht canal.Open daily 11am-1am (3am weekends). 
[no reviews, be the first]Reijnders Leidseplein 6 (623 44 19).  One
of the best bets in the touristic Leidseplein area is this authentic brown
bar. It used to be the literary centre of the Leidseplein, together with
the neighbouring cafe Eylders. Elegant, high-ceilinged interior and waiters
clad in traditional black-and-white. The glassed-in front opens during the
summer to create a sunny outside terrace.Open daily 9am-1am (3am weekends).

't Smalle Egelantiersgracht 12 (623 96 17). 
A former 'proeflokaal' (tasting house) for the nearby Hoppe gin distillery dating from 1786. The beautifully restored interior certainly makes this bar worth a visit, but the main attraction has to be the large waterside terrace on the relatively quiet Egelantiersgracht canal. Possibility to moor your boat, if you're so inclined.Open daily 10am-1pm (2am weekends). [1 review, 9/10] Thijssen Brouwersgracht 107 (623 89 94).  Large
bar in the Jordaan, catering to young locals. Though of more recent date
then the neighboring bars, it already has managed to acquire a nice 'brown'
patina. The large windows provide a good view of one of the most beautiful
parts of the Jordaan. Gets crowded during evenings.Open 9.30am-1am (3am weekends). [2 reviews, avg 7/10] De Tuin  2e Tuindwarsstraat 13(624 45 59). Popular Jordaan bar frequented by young locals. Pretty much your basic brown bar, but with a friendly and laid-back atmosphere, in a nice mellow part of the Jordaan. Open 10am-1am (2am weekends).

114 (625 27 29). De Twee Zwaantjes (The Two Swans) is one of the better known Jordaan bars.

Open 3pm-1am (3am weekends), closed Wed.

Closed in 1990 but was reopened in 1993 by a Dutch entrepreneur who distills his own liquors in the Pijlsteeg. Most of the interior remains in its original state, and true to form the 'proeflokaal' has no chairs or tables and no music is played.Open 3pm-9pm. [16 reviews, avg 9/10] |
