Cafe Krull anchors the beating heart of De Pijp, Amsterdam's most characterful neighbourhood, where locals linger over Dutch jenever and craft pours long after the Albert Cuyp market closes. This is Amsterdam drinking done properly — no pretence, no rush, just the deep gezelligheid that makes a neighbourhood bar feel like your living room.
Cafe Krull grew up on the corner of Sarphatipark, where Amsterdam's most eclectic neighbourhood gathers after work, after the market, and after the museum. We pour Dutch jenever alongside locally brewed craft beers, keeping the bruine kroeg tradition alive in a city that never stops reinventing itself. Every worn wooden stool, every amber-lit evening here tells the story of a real Amsterdam local bar earning its keep, one satisfied regular at a time.
Explore MoreWe stock a serious range of traditional Dutch jenever — young, old, and grain — served ice-cold in the classic Amsterdam manner. Whether you're a De Pijp regular or arriving fresh off the tram, a borrel at Krull is a rite of passage.
Alongside Amsterdam's finest local craft breweries, our taps pour crisp Dutch lagers perfectly suited to a long Sarphatipark evening. We rotate seasonal guest taps to keep things interesting for the regulars who make this bar their second home.
No Amsterdam brown bar worth its salt sends you thirsty to the next round without something to eat — our borrelhapjes keep you grounded and the conversation flowing. Think classic Dutch bar bites, done simply and done well.
As the sun drops behind Amsterdam's rooftops and the Sarphatipark empties, Cafe Krull fills with the warm noise of a neighbourhood that knows how to enjoy itself. Dark wood, candlelight, and the clink of jenever glasses make this corner of De Pijp one of Amsterdam's most authentic after-dark addresses.
