If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to grab a bite while taking in views of the water, Hanneke’s Boom is the perfect place to unwind. This cozy bar, set in a unique location on the docks, serves as a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s a great place to relax and enjoy a peaceful moment by the harbour.
As early as 1662, the name of this bar, or actually the name of this spot on the docks, appeared on historic city maps. The bar (literally translated as Hanneke’s Tree) is named after a tree that was placed in the water each evening to close off the harbour and protect it against thieves and enemies. It now is a great place to relax, enjoy a simple lunch and watch all the boats sail by on their way to ‘t IJ.
