"This brown café, in operation since 1973 on the Herengracht, is located inside a former distillery that dates back to the 19th century. You can expect the brown café standards—beer, jenever, and a handful of other spirits—and a decent selection of nibbles (the fondue made from Dutch cheese is a standout). All told, it's the perfect place to stop and refuel while you're shopping in the Nine Streets." - Meredith Bethune
