Review

Established in 1670, the oldest, right-hand side of Café Hoppe at No.18 (the side we recommend you visit) is one of the oldest Dutch pubs (Bruine café) in Amsterdam. Both the interior and exterior are listed and have remained unchanged for centuries.

At the beginning of the 20th century next door, No.20 then a hotel and restaurant was incorporated into the business with a doorway in the dividing wall connecting what is now termed 'Sitting' Hoppe at no.20 and 'standing' Hoppe at No.18.
