Welcome to CAFÉ
​havelaar, Bar & Event Space

Named after Max Havelaar, we are located in downtown Amsterdam in a 1651 Rijkmonument. Surrounded by the best coffeeshops, food, restaurants, shops and tourist spots, in literally the most central spot in between the red light district and the Jordaan. Ideal hidden gem for an impromptu refreshment or meeting place, steeped in history.

The bar is intimate and full of character, the layout across two buildings with an upstairs mezzanine allows for both small and large groups and many different uses. The downstairs displays art made from old Singer Sewing Machines and Bar Flies made from recycled materials, while upstairs hosts temporary Art Installations by local legends and friends of the bar. It is the perfect space to host your event, workshop, or party and for enjoying tunes from the DJ Booth with our late license. 

In a city where caf​é's are bars and coffeeshops sell weed, we are a favourite spot for locals, artists, music enthusiasts that are looking for local craft beer or choice of spirits in a part of history.

Meet our Beer

Cold, On Tap & Great Prices!
Asperius Brewery is a craft beer microbrewery located in restaurant Zest Food & Moore (Brew Pub) at Bilderdijkstraat 188 in Amsterdam. The brewery was founded in 2017 by Asparuh Asparuhov and Nikolay Hubenov.
Delicious beer, brewed with love. Friekens doesn’t focus on high levels of alcohol or lavish use of strange fruit, but on natural ingredients and pure taste. Based on traditional recipes with only the best malt, barley and/or wheat, hops, yeast and the unsurpassed Amsterdam tapwater.
Today, Lagunitas beers are available in more than 20 countries and growing. Whether we're supporting local communities by turning beer into charity money, or feeding stories and songs with IPA and other delicious beers, we've learned one thing… Wherever you go: beer speaks, people mumble.
Hell Yes
​Traditional German lager, which is still widely drunk in southern Germany and Austria today. Full-bodied, mildly sweet, and light in colour, with a low bitterness.
 5.5 % ALC.
THE CURE
​Sweet malt taste with explosions of citrus and fruity hop aromas, which ends with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
 6.5 % ALC.
