About

Café 't Hooischip is a cozy and traditional Dutch "brown cafe" located right on the Amstel river in the heart of Amsterdam. With its charming interior and waterside terrace, it offers a relaxed and authentic Amsterdam experience.

The atmosphere at 't Hooischip is warm and inviting, perfect for a casual drink and conversation. It's a popular spot with locals and tourists alike, creating a lively but unpretentious vibe. You'll find a diverse mix of people enjoying the friendly atmosphere, from students and young professionals to older Amsterdammers. It's definitely a place where you can feel comfortable striking up a conversation with your neighbor.

While not exclusively a gay bar, 't Hooischip has long been known as a welcoming and inclusive space for the LGBTQ+ community. Its central location and relaxed atmosphere make it a popular pre- or post-clubbing spot, or simply a nice place to unwind with friends. The staff are friendly and create a safe and accepting environment for everyone.

One of the highlights of 't Hooischip is its lovely terrace overlooking the Amstel. It's the perfect place to enjoy a beer or a coffee while watching the boats go by. They also offer a selection of classic Dutch snacks to accompany your drinks.

For the best experience, visit 't Hooischip on a sunny afternoon or early evening to enjoy the terrace. It can get quite busy on weekends, so arriving a bit earlier is recommended to secure a good spot.
