Nieuwe Diep Distillery — Restaurant in Amsterdam

We were looking forward to visiting this highly rated venue with my niece and nephew from Canada. We came by car, which seems to be a problem. We did not know where to park and after driving past this place a few times following Google maps' directions, we found an area with parking bays in the vicinity. However, all the parking spots were taken. This was at 14:00 on a weekday. I wanted to call Proeflokaal, but could not find their telephone number anywhere on their website. Only an e-mail address is provided and the website is not very informative. We were extremely disappointed and left without being able to visit the proeflokaal. We waisted more than an two hours of a three day visit trying to visit this place... Make sure you know where to park if you go to there, or otherwise use public transport or...

Time traveling is possible! At least here it is. This place flies you straight into the 1950's, mainly offering the traditional Dutch KOPSTOOT with LEVERWORST or plain salty peanuts! Who needs more than that, while enjoying one of the most beautiful parks in town? The gins are from Oorlam, the spicy young ones from grain, wheat or rye, the older ones in different grades of sweetness. Served in an old school curved glass and filled to the top, making one bow for the first sip. Beers are imported from the Czech Republic, only adding to that awesome...

A hidden gem tucked away in a park far from center city. Wonderful Jenever selection poured by a knowledgeable staff. Lovely spot to enjoy some peace and sip some drinks. Quite a tranquil spot with seating indoors, amongst the trees, and along the pond. Some snack options, beer, and Jenever available. They also sell Jenever bottles if you find one you like.

Be prepared it's a 5-7 minute walk from the nearest road with no signs providing direction.

I look forward to returning to this...
