NumuqueMarch 5, 2015a must-see liquor/jenever store and bar in Amsterdam. the bartenders are communicative and knowledgable. they have their home-brand with almost 100 different flavors 👍🍸🍸🍸😋
California GirlJanuary 10, 2017Sunday I was treated to this exquisite little glass of cherry liqueur in an establishment that has been standing since the 1600's. Many flavors. Excellent! @wynand_fockink #amsterdam
OlinOctober 17, 2016Must-go place for liqueur in A'dam! A hidden gem with bar tenders that certainly got a story to tell. Be patient at the bar queue, you will be rewarded with liqueur tasting before u order!
Ferdy van BerkelAugust 11, 2018A local Dutch distillery established in the 17th century. Here you can try some great liqueurs and genevers at their tasting tavern. You can also order a “kopstootje” at the bar (Beer & Dutch Gin).
Melis BaşaranerJanuary 23, 2015I just love the place!occasionaly drop by to have variety of delish liquers, and my fave is sour cherry! You should drink and enjoy it slowly or the bar tender will punish you by not selling any other
Aleksandra GarbaczOctober 20, 2015Hidden gem, not to be missed! Lovely tiny bar which serves amazingly sweet and tasty liquors uninterruptedly since 16th century. The unique way of serving and drinking it makes it a great experience!
FelipeApril 6, 2014Do you want to try Genever (traditional Dutch liquer)? Come to this 400 years old bar. There's no seating inside and the place is small, but the whole experience is unique. Staff is very friendly.
Jeremy AkersFebruary 16, 2015This is how you set the tone for a GREAT first date: come here each have two drinks and skip the early anxiety. Really delicious alcohol great for groups and celebrations
Samantha BrydenFebruary 16, 2019Talk to Andre and he’ll serve you your dream Genever. I had the Bergamot flavored one and haven’t stopped thinking about it since
Roniel TesslerNovember 4, 2015A must on your Amsterdam visit. Fun vibe. Great liquor. Try the one called something "in the cellar"
Hop Hey LalaleyDecember 5, 2015Must visit in Amsterdam. No space at all, but sooooooo cool! Talk to the barmen, they will help you to choose, and try, try and try again.
Vladislav P.December 27, 2013Adore taste of a liquor or just feel tired during sightseeing of Amsterdam? Just have a one little glass in this cozy place and let it color up your mood like a rainbow!
Roseane B.July 15, 2016"Andre" was unbelievable. The please is a must go. Even I who not drink enjoyed to Jenever and I'm still thinking how to get one bottle home.
ThanasisMarch 22, 2016Very broad range of different liqueurs, a must in Amsterdam. Can get crowded easily.
B KApril 18, 2015Wide selection of flavours for your cocktail. Some of them really sweat. There is no place to sit inside. You need stand at the outside and drink.- Buğrahan NamdarApril 10, 2015Best Jenever tasting spot of the city. Cozy welcoming environment offers great variety of Jenever tastes. The bartenders are super friendly also!
Wafa SFebruary 15, 2015A must do in Amsterdam. Best place to discover Jenever. Liquors are so yummy! Lemon/ginger is refreshing. Very welcoming.
Jamie ShawFebruary 19, 2019Order a “Winterglow”, definitely warms the cockles during the colder months.
Antony OJanuary 31, 2017This place is amazing! Love love love! Highly recommend, please come for a tasting and some history!
Party EarthOctober 27, 2012This bar is a great place to experience some culture and do some drinking at the same time, but it’s not worth going if you’re not willing to drink like a Dutchman. Ask the barman for drink tips. Read more
Yorgos Maximillianos Cambanis AznavourAugust 27, 2017Oude jenever "WF Superior", boterbabbelaar liquer = childhood with an alcoholic twist and the best fluitje
Joseph TerranellaAugust 25, 2015Staff were helpful in allowing us to taste a wide range of jenevers - ginger, lemon and creme brûlée were favorites
Deepesh BakhruApril 23, 2018What a place for liqueurs, jenevers!! Amazing choice and even more outstanding, expert and friendly staff.
RyanFebruary 12, 2018Tucked away down an alley, this tiny place gets busy and is standing room only! That just adds to the authenticity.
David O ByrneJune 30, 2011Bring your whole group up to the bar when ordering liquers. They fill to tipping point as its tradition that first sip is without hands... Fun but makes for a jammed bar when busy
Amsterdam MagazineSeptember 13, 2011'There's no seating inside, on a busy night, partons inevitably find themselves staning in the street. But Wynand Fockink has a way of tumbling into your life like a character from a Roald Dahl book.' Read more
IevaMay 21, 2015Cozy, hidden, welcoming & authentic! The staff will help you to make the best choices.
Gabriella ManollovaApril 13, 2013an amazing experience - the atmosphere, the people, the tastiest liquor ever & romantic Amsterdam outside:)))
Karin de CarvalhoAugust 26, 2013this server in the picture is very inpolite and unfriendly, a shame for a place such as wynand focking. beware of her, and the rest will be fine.
Luisella ChiesaNovember 19, 2011Must see in Amsterdam. Old jenever and liquor bar. You can mix them. Try the fruit brandewijn and u cannot get it wrong!
Dilek OnukJanuary 3, 2015Very helpful bartenders, giving a lot of information on genever and providing tasting opportunity
Ruben Garcia MohedanoJune 9, 2017So cool! You can buy anything you drink in the bottle shop next door :)
jeffrey arnoldNovember 10, 2017Touristy & always packed. Better off to find a cocktail bar that has a selection of Genever to taste.
This hidden treasure is a must! Try them all from left to right and back..! Great experience!
Try a Heavenly or in Dutch Hemel'tje and as a snack a recommend the little meatballs
Nicolette KoemanDecember 12, 2011really nice place to go for some drinks in the afternoon (too bad it closes @21.00)!
If you want to check out an old school genever bar, this is a must see. There are certain rules involved in how you take your first sip, but just copy what the person in front of you is doing...
