Amsterdam
The east of the city, where a windmill taproom, an Oosterpark cocktail bar and a rooftop above Wibautstraat sit among the parks and the Eastern Docklands. Here are the Amsterdam Oost bars our editors send people to first.
Craft Beer · Oost
A taproom beside the De Gooyer windmill on the Funenkade, one of the most photographed beer settings in the city, with no reservations and fresh tank beer.
Cocktail Bar · Oost
A literary all day bar on the edge of Oosterpark, coffee and lunch until dark, then cocktails, a house blonde from Brouwerij 't IJ and a 3am weekend close.
Rooftop Bar · Oost
The seventh floor of the old Volkskrant building, now the Volkshotel on Wibautstraat, with breakfast at 7am, sunset cocktails and a dance floor by 11pm.
Wine Bar · Oost
A greenhouse restaurant in Frankendael park with the most thoughtful biodynamic wine list in the city, drinkable from the bar if you arrive before service.
Craft Beer · Eastern Docklands
A Belgian beer hall on Piet Heinkade facing the IJ, carrying the pink elephant name and a long list built around the strong golden ale Delirium Tremens.
Live Music · Oost
A big screen events and music hall on Atlantisplein, event based and worth checking the agenda for screening and gig nights before a visit.
