Overview

Located in Jordaan, this is a real old school café. The Jordaan is a neighborhood renowned for its love of music and especially the old Dutch favorite the "smartlap"-these songs are real tearjerkers and the best comparison is probably Country-Western in America. Be aware of the sing-along, especially on the weekends, and don't be surprised if accordion players start appearing from nowhere. The accordion is the instrument mostly used to accompany these songs. If the singing gets overwhelming, you can always sit on the terrace that overlooks the Prinsengracht.
