What’s the vibe?
When the sun’s out, there’s no better place to sip on something cold than Hannekes Boom’s
huge, waterside terrace. But the actual bar itself, constructed out of scrap lumber, is pretty
sweet too; rustic, bohemian, and featuring a proper wood burning stove, it’s been a hotspot
since forever. Sustainable too – they focus on local, organic, fresh produce alongside a great
range of beers, wines, and spirits.
What are the prices like?
For such a popular spot, very reasonable. Draft beers start at €3.40, spirits from €5.50,
wines from €6 a glass, and cocktails around €11. For such an iconic, central spot, what’s not
to like?
What should I order?
If it’s warm, and you’re sitting on that incredible terrace, Jupiler is the draft beer of choice
for the locals. Or, if you’re splashing out, order a Hannekes Spritz – pure summer in a glass.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
Duck under the railway bridge, turn right, and walk down towards the Eastern Docklands.
There are all manner of quirky, fun bars, restaurants, shops, and architecture to be
discovered on Java-Eiland, KNSM-Eiland, and Cruquiuseiland.
