Glouglou
One of the originals
GlouGlou is a cornerstone of Amsterdam’s natural wine scene. It’s approachable, cozy, and rooted in a real passion for wine that respects nature and tradition. Whether you come for a single glass or a whole evening of tasting, you’ll leave happy.
At GlouGlou, you won’t find pretentious sommeliers or dusty wine rules. Instead, expect a buzzing bar filled with locals, expats, and wine lovers who know that “natural” doesn’t mean boring, it means alive, exciting, and full of character.
Think cloudy orange wines, wild pet-nats, and chillable reds that make you rethink everything you thought you knew about wine. Their rotating selection focuses on small European producers who work with minimal intervention and maximum passion. Don’t expect a traditional menu either, ask the team what’s open, and they’ll gladly guide you to something unexpected and delicious.
GlouGlou was one of the first to champion natural wines in Amsterdam, and it still sets the tone. The wine list changes often, but the vibe? Always warm, always real.
Wine + bites
Pair your glass with simple yet perfect bar bites, cheese, charcuterie, olives, and enjoy your night. Inside, the wooden interiors and communal tables give it that laid-back Parisian cave feel. On sunny days, the terrace spills onto the street and becomes a magnet for anyone craving a spontaneous glass and a good chat.
Unbottled tip:
