Hello Fellow Travelers and Welcome to the “Boozers of Amsterdam”.

Over the next few months I’m going to introduce you to some of the the legendary bars, cafes and coffee shops of Amsterdam.

When I say “I” that’s not exactly true.

Paul is a good friend of mine who lived in Amsterdam for four years back in the late 70’s and because he enjoys the occasional pint of beer, he spent most of those four years hunting down all the places he could find to see if Amsterdam’s legendary reputation for bars and cafes was justified.

He decided it was, and so he wrote a book about them. Not all 1402 of them, just the 60 which became his regular haunts.

In my next post I’ll introduce Paul and tell you about the other reason he’s written this “Guide to Amsterdam’s Boozers”, and then over the coming months, I’ll publish articles from his book about some of his favourite bars to give you an excellent reason to visit Amsterdam to check them out.

So look out for this and tell your friends. You wouldn’t want them to miss out.

More next week.

Cliff
