About Wynand Fockink
A tiny 1679 tasting house tucked in an alley behind Dam Square, specializing in traditional Dutch jenevers and liqueurs made on-site. The stand-up-only bar maintains centuries-old traditions, serving small tulip glasses filled to the brim that must be sipped without using your hands.
Insider Tips
Try the 'kopstoot' (headbutt)—a traditional pairing of jenever with a beer chaser—and lean forward to take your first sip from the overfilled glass to avoid spilling.
