Proeflokaal Wynand Fockink
This is how the city drank before bars had chairs. The first sip you take bowing to the glass on the counter — that ritual is over 300 years old.
A 1679 jenever tasting room in an alley off Dam, unchanged in spirit for over three centuries. No stools; you drink standing, as the guild men did.
