OUR STORY
Café Vrije Walvis is a small, independent bar where stories take shape.
We love Amsterdam craft beers, classic jenever and aquavit — along with playful signatures like the Walvis Shot. Our space blends maritime hints with tattoo-style line art: wood, metal, and symbols that evoke travel and compasses.
We believe in the human scale — fewer choices, better quality, and more conversation. Our selection rotates, and we regularly host artists for exhibitions, tastings, and talks. Drop in, settle down, and let the evening find its rhythm.

Jamie Lane
“We walked in by chance and stayed for hours. Warm vibe, perfect music level—and that Walvis Shot… brilliant.”
Max & Lina
“An intimate tasting that never drags — just enough jenever & aquavit, thoughtful stories, and a relaxed, personal vibe.”
Zandra
“Jenever & aquavit tasting with stories in every pour. Intimate, informative, and just the right length.”
