Amsterdam's oldest remaining drinking den opened in 1624 and has been going strong ever since. It's said to be where the builders of Westerkerk were paid every week or two. There are a lot of curious old features at this bar that keep drawing people year after year, including the quirky toilet in the bathroom, which, oddly, flushes from outside the door and inside the bar! On Sunday nights, loud opera music engulfs the bar, attracting a cultured bohemian crowd.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
