Welcome to Proeflokaal De Pui, an enchanting café nestled on the Oostzeedijk in Rotterdam, where history, flavor, and hospitality converge. Known as one of the finest jenever bars in the area, Proeflokaal De Pui offers a remarkable selection of over 100 different types of jenever – a traditional Dutch gin that promises to tantalize your taste buds and spark your imagination.

As soon as you step through the doors, you are enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for both relaxed gatherings and lively nights out. The cozy interior brims with character, and the attentive staff is eager to share their expertise, helping you navigate through their extensive drink menu. Regular patrons rave about the super friendly service that feels more like hanging out with old friends than visiting a café.

Among the many choices, don't miss the signature Campari Spritz by Jeroen, beloved by customers and often described as a "night to remember." The combination of flavors is a testament to the artistry behind the bar, and it embodies the café's commitment to high-quality, craft beverages. Regilio Bleijs summed it up perfectly: "Best jenever bar around!"

The ambiance is further enhanced by occasional live performances that bring a vibrant spirit to the café; as Bernat noted, “A small band from Barcelona played so good there!” These events create an exciting backdrop for enjoying drinks and company.

With every visit, you are not just a customer; you are part of a community that celebrates good drinks and even better company. Whether you're a jenever aficionado or a curious newcomer, Proeflokaal De Pui invites you to embark on a sensory journey that highlights the rich traditions of Dutch spirits while fostering genuine connections.
