Café de Dokter

Top choice in Medieval Centre & Red Light District


Candles flicker on the tables, old jazz records play in the background, and chandeliers and a birdcage hang from the ceiling at atmospheric de Dokter, which at 18 sq metres is allegedly Amsterdam's smallest pub. Whiskeys and smoked beef sausage are specialities. A surgeon opened it in 1798, hence the name. The sixth generation of his family still runs it.
