Checkpoint Charlie
Not far from Westerpark and just across the main canal bordering the Jordaan, Checkpoint Charlie is a favored neighborhood bar well-known for hosting a range of live music on Thursday through Sunday. With a full bar and some 24 beers on rotation, there's plenty to drink. The kitchen serves excellent, locally produced bar snacks like bitterballen and savory filled Dutch tostis (toasted sandwiches), with vegetarian-friendly options available, too.
