About the Vibe
Paskamer is a no-nonsense wine bar in De Pijp that locals actually go to when they want good wine without the pretension. The staff clearly knows their stuff, and you'll find a solid rotation of natural wines by the glass alongside some excellent small plates. It's the kind of place where you can pop in after work for a glass of something interesting and end up staying for hours with friends.

A genuine neighborhood wine bar with character
Paskamer is one of those De Pijp wine bars that feels authentically Amsterdam—unpretentious, warm, and focused on what matters: good wine and good company. The space is cozy without being cramped, with a well-stocked bar that showcases both familiar labels and interesting finds. What sets Paskamer apart is the genuine passion of the staff; they're happy to guide you through their selection whether you're looking for a natural orange wine or a classic Bordeaux.
The small plates are designed to complement the wine rather than compete with it. Think quality charcuterie, cheeses, and seasonal bites that pair beautifully with their by-the-glass offerings. It's not a place for a full sit-down meal, but rather for lingering over several glasses while chatting with friends or meeting someone new. The hours are generous too, making it a reliable spot for late-evening drinks when most other places have closed.
If you're new to Amsterdam's wine scene, Paskamer is a great starting point. It's not trying to be anything other than a solid neighborhood wine bar, and that's exactly why it works. Skip the tourist traps in the center and come here for the real deal.
