Pleasant classic Dutch 'brown cafe' with an even mix of visitors and locals. Your standard 25cl was Eu2.75 so roughly around £5.50 a pint. There is a little gallery with some seats up pretty steep stairs towards the back. They do have other ales apart from the ubiquitous Heineken.

Wow, I can't believe how few reviews this place has. It's gorgeous, friendly and has a nice selection of beers.

Time-warp old brown bar with wonderful canalside setting, in a quieter part of town just 15 or so minutes walk away from the Damrak. Plenty of jenevers and a few decent beers including Belgian beers like Affligem on draught. Nice timber interior, stained glass, an old James Ritchie & Son clock, spirits casks and seats outside. Also does food.

What a wonderful pub. Have visited several times and the beers are excellent.
|
Lovely old cafe. Great choice of wines by the glass (very unusual for Amsterdam)in addition to the superb range of beers.

UPDATE***
There was NO MUSIC in 't Smalle - the pub where I heard the music was the 2 Zwaanetjes, Prinsengracht, this was quite close to SMALLE. All the rest of the previous posting is correct - apologies for the error - Lee.

A small, local classic Amsterdam "brown cafe" close to the beautiful Prinsengracht canal. Dutch beers, such as Wieckse Witte, feature here, and the atmosphere rocks. During my visit of 21 March 2003 I enjoyed the beer to the accompaniment of live 60s & 70s hits from all over Europe played by a magnificent organist/singer. SUPERB!
