Café de Spuyt is a 'brown café', one of Amsterdam's traditional pubs. These are proper local bars, exactly the kind of place you should go if you want to get a feel for real local life. They serve a wide selection of local and regional beers (just look at the list on the wall!), and they are low-key and friendly. If you're not sure what beer to pick ask whoever's behind the bar or whoever's sitting near you.I went to this bar twice during my short visit to Amsterdam. On first time there I met someone who helped me select a number of delicious brews. He lives in Amsterdam, and it turned out that he's a writer for the oldest 'lad's magazine' in existence, which is called... Panorama! Seriously, the synchronicity was delightful.
