Amsterdam Neighborhood

Oud-West

Trendy without trying too hard. Great food, Vondelpark nearby, and a proper local vibe.

Oud-West flew under the radar until about five years ago. Now it is packed with concept stores, wine bars, and people who definitely have a creative agency. The Foodhallen is here, which is basically my second living room. Vondelpark is right there for Sunday picnics, the museum district is a walk away, and the neighborhood has this perfect balance of trendy and livable. My coworker moved here last year and will not shut up about it.

My neighbor calls this beer heaven and he is not exaggerating. Over 200 beers, staff who actually know what they are talking about, and the coziest little bar you will find.
