About this Pubtrail
Discover Amsterdam-Oost like you've never experienced it before! From authentic Amsterdam neighborhood pubs to cozy craft beer bars and a famous brewery beneath a historic windmill. During Proost door Oost, you'll discover unique stories, taste the neighborhood atmosphere, and enjoy the best bars. A surprising pub crawl full of character, conviviality, and, of course, a good glass of beer!
Welcome to Proost door Oost!
Amsterdam has hundreds of pubs, but anyone who thinks that you only have to go to the Jordaan or Rembrandtplein for the best cafes clearly hasn't discovered Amsterdam-Oost yet.
For it is precisely here, outside the busiest tourist streets, that you find a completely different side of the capital. An Amsterdam where the neighborhood pub is still a genuine meeting place, where unique craft beers are served, and where a good story lies behind every bar.
During Proost door Oost, we take you on a tour of some of the nicest and most characteristic cafes in Amsterdam-Oost. And believe us: this neighborhood has plenty of surprises in store!
From working-class neighborhood to bustling Amsterdam-Oost
Amsterdam-Oost has a remarkable history. While today cozy cafes, restaurants, and creative entrepreneurs define the streetscape, it was formerly home primarily to working-class families. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the city grew rapidly, and new residential areas, markets, and meeting places emerged here.
Life largely took place on the street. Local residents gathered at the market, in the shops, and of course, in the pub. For in the past, the pub was much more than just a place to have a beer. It was the place where the latest neighborhood news was discussed, friendships were formed, and sometimes entire life stories were told.
Fortunately, that coziness has never completely disappeared.
Nowadays, Amsterdam-Oost is one of the city's most diverse neighborhoods. Historic buildings stand next to modern hospitality venues, small neighborhood cafes exist alongside trendy restaurants, and international influences are visible everywhere.
But one thing has remained the same: Amsterdammers love a good time. During this pub trail, you will discover that no two pubs are the same.
For instance, there are places where the interior is an experience in itself. Pubs where decorations hang from the ceiling, the regulars know each other by name, and the stories are at least as good as the drinks.
Just a little further on, you will discover the world of Amsterdam craft beer. After all, did you know that Amsterdam has an impressive beer history? Where dozens of small breweries were once active, new generations of brewers have put the craft back on the map over the past few decades.
And we haven't even mentioned the cozy terraces, unique neighborhood stories, and unexpected encounters you might come across along the way.
From an old-fashioned Amsterdam lager to a surprising craft beer: every stop has its own story, atmosphere, and character.
What can you expect?
Proost door Oost is not an ordinary pub crawl where you walk from one pub to another as fast as possible.
It is a journey of discovery through one of Amsterdam's most interesting neighborhoods. Along the way, you will learn more about the history of the district, get to know unique hospitality venues, and discover places you might otherwise simply walk past.
For each location, we tell you what makes this place special. Sometimes it is a historical event, sometimes a remarkable owner, and sometimes simply a fantastic story that you can share over your next drinks.
Be sure to take the time to look around, laugh together, and enjoy the atmosphere.
Ready to discover Amsterdam-Oost? Put on your walking shoes, gather your friends, and get ready for a pleasant stroll through Oost.
And remember: this pub trail isn't about who gets to the last pub the fastest, but about all the fun moments in between.
Maybe you'll discover your new favorite café. Maybe you'll strike up a conversation with a real Amsterdammer who tells you a wonderful story. Or maybe you'll end up at a bar somewhere and decide that it's actually far too cozy to move on already.
That is exactly what makes Proost door Oost so much fun. Team Loculy

About Amsterdam
Canals, neighborhoods with their own character, and something to discover around every corner.
Amsterdam is best explored on foot, or by bike if you want to go further. The Canal Belt is the familiar backdrop, but the real fun is often just outside: in the Jordaan with its narrow streets and traditional brown pubs, in De Pijp around the market, or across the IJ, where the city has a grittier edge.
Anyone who has had enough of the hustle and bustle will quickly find peace: in the Vondelpark, along the Amstel, or in one of the courtyards hidden behind ordinary front doors. Amsterdam is a city you get to know layer by layer. First the image, then the street, then the story behind it.
Loculy helps you with the latter. With walking routes along the stories of the city, from the Dam and the Westerkerk to the Oost-Indisch Huis and the Scheepvaartmuseum, and with a city guide full of places where you can eat, drink, and get lost. This way, you don't just look at Amsterdam, you feel the city.
