A 1695 lock-keeper's house tilting over the canal — Amsterdam's most atmospheric brown café

A lock-keeper's house from 1695, tilting precariously over the Oude Schans canal — possibly Amsterdam's most atmospheric brown café. The canal-side terrace is tiny and perfect. In winter, the candlelit interior with its sloping floors feels like drinking inside a ship.
