So when I googled the oldest bar in Amsterdam, this is the one that came up. Along the way over the…read morelast several days, I learned that there are many older bars that are called brown bars. And so Leah and I stopped into a few of them. Our intention was to seek out the older bars in Amsterdam while we were here. This one we had inadvertently passed by the day before without knowing that it was there while on our way to the Anne Frank house. This café was in the heart of the city, and we sat outside and enjoyed the bustling environment and the company of some local personalities. Would I go back, yes. They had some food, but we were going to dinner and we did not try it. You'll have to let me know how it is. So, we visited the oldest café in Amsterdam, dating back to 1606, and we were glad we did.

Nestled in the vibrant Czaar Peter neighborhood of Amsterdam-Oost, Café Czaar is a warm and…read morewelcoming spot. Expect a delightful mix of Dutch and European cuisine, with dishes ranging from comforting soups and ribs to tasty vegetarian and vegan options. Their bitterbatten and fried polenta are musts, and the Moscow mule is just as impressive. Best burger you'll ever have and tagliatelle you won't forget. Service is A-1. Café Czaar is also a lively social hub--there's always something happening. It's the kind of place where you can grab a casual lunch, meet friends for drinks, or join in on the fun late into the evening. If you're in Amsterdam-Oost and craving good vibes, great food, and a touch of local charm, Café Czaar is definitely worth a visit.

Came here on our first day in Amsterdam. Our hotel was right across the street from here and we…read morearrived at an odd time, so almost everything was closed until dinner. This was one of the few places we found that were open. It's kind of like a pub that also serves food. We were able to get seated immediately and we ordered a few items to hold us over until dinner. We ordered the beef carpaccio and the shrimp stew (forgot the name). They were both very tasty and we were satisfied. It is far from the main Amsterdam area, so it's probably not something you would come across on a visit to Amsterdam, but it was nice overall and I would recommend it.

We ordered bitterballen to try, but it was creamy inside and not to our taste. I think it was undercooked and not supposed to be served like that. Not a fan in any case. The ambiance is really nice.

The inside was empty so we sat at the bar and peered outside at the passerbys. Had great conversation with the bartender Alex about the area. They offer several tap beers and chose the Brewdog Hazy Jane which had a thick hazy fruity hops taste. Great retro 80s music playing while I sip my brew. The illuminated white "Toilets" sign on the brick wall leading to the downstairs bathrooms were a nice touch. Loved the red led lighting around the bottles of Jameson and throughout some other areas of the bar which simulated a classy ambiance with still just a mid level bar.

It's a totally no frills kind of place, but there's a good amount of bar seating, the service was great, the volume was good for chatting, and there's a pretty extensive list of alcohol.

They're crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and are awesome with a smudge of mustard.

We managed to snag a table, and service was surprisingly decent for how busy the area can get. It has that classic, old-school nautical dive bar feel. Fair warning on the bathroom, though--it's definitely a bit of a shocker (pretty much a hole in the floor), but I guess it just adds to the divey charm. Overall, it's a solid pit stop if you're taking tourists through the neighborhood. Not sure how many locals actually hang out here, but for a quick drink in the heart of the district, it does the job.
