Cafe de Ster
About
Cafe de Ster
Café De Ster is a traditional Amsterdam bar on the Martelaarsgracht, only a few minutes’ walk from Central Station. Established in 1972, it has remained a familiar meeting place for locals, commuters and visitors looking for a genuine Amsterdam pub close to the busiest part of the city.
The focus is on draught beer, wine, spirits, conversation and the lively characters gathered around the bar.
Despite its location between Central Station and the busy Nieuwendijk, Café De Ster has retained the informal personality of a local Amsterdam bar. During the day, guests stop by for a relaxed drink, while Friday afternoons and weekends bring a busier and more energetic crowd.
Dutch music frequently plays an important role in the atmosphere. Occasional live performances, particularly on Sunday afternoons, can transform the café into a cheerful sing-along bar. Outdoor tables provide additional seating and a front-row view of the constant movement around the Martelaarsgracht.
