Cafe de Tuin Amsterdam

Your typical cafe

Isidore from Amsterdam

"Cafe de Tuin has such a nice atmosphere. The interior is classic and the customers are diverse, which makes it the perfect mix between modern and dated."

Cafe de Tuin used to be the cafe where my parents would go with their friends before I was born. And after I was born, they would take me with them and I would sleep peacefully while they had fun with their friends. When I got to an age where I could drink beer and had my own group of friends to meet up with, we would always go to Cafe de Tuin.

The people that come here are very different: old men drink their Dutch liquor called 'Jenever' at the bar, while people in their thirties have a nice night updating each other about their lives. And in between all of that were me and my high school friends, on a Friday night, hanging out until closing time.

Cafe de Tuin has such a nice atmosphere. The interior is classic and the customers are diverse, which makes it the perfect mix between modern and dated. The lighting creates a certain coziness. If you go here, make sure to order a 'Jenever' and cheer with the old men at the bar. And enjoy being in the midst of Amsterdam habitants of all ages.

People get around on bikes and bicycles create a certain freedom in getting ar...
