Fabus

A truly excellent wine bar featuring wines from Eastern Europe was missing in the capital, and Fabus Amsterdam Wine Bar felt it was high time to fill that gap. A nice hotspot in Amsterdam-West where you can enjoy unique wines in a cosy setting. The interior of the wine bar is simple, with a few wooden chairs and tables on either side of the narrow space.

Clos

Clos Wine Bar is definitely worth a visit, offering a low-key and approachable atmosphere. Opt for a ‘Wine Flight’ here and be delighted by a delightful wine arrangement with the choice of white, red, or bubbles. With all the arrangements, you’ll be served delicious dishes along with an explanation of the wine from the winemaker’s perspective.

Bar Babar

At Bar Babar Amsterdam, you immediately get a cosy, living room feel. Wine-coloured candles and even walls, a welcoming bar with influences from French bistros. The dishes on Bar Babar’s menu are almost all locally sourced: the bites are obtained from speciality stores in the neighbourhood, and the wines are purchased from Dutch distributors. Almost all wines are served by the glass because they believe their guests should be able to taste everything that is delicious.

Delicious organic wines are what you can order at Glou Glou in The Pijp. These wines are made without any artificial additives. You can easily order another bottle, because it means good quality wine and therefor no hangover. The sun shines on the terrace till the late afternoon, but if it’s bad weather it’s definitely not a punishment to have to sit inside. The interior is very cosy, and then glass in lead doors really adds the finishing touch!
