The best beer cafe in Amsterdam? Quite likely. This bar is housed in an old distillery just off the Nieuwezijds Kolk. The translation of Wildeman is the wild man. This place is beer. It doesn't play any music (it could distract from the beer drinking) and it even has a no-smoking zone (unusual in Amsterdam), for those who want to drink in a healthy environment. It all looks very authentic&mdahs;the decor speaks of beer. The clientele consists of beer lovers who come from all over the world. If you're one, you should join them. About 18 draught beers are available at any given time, along with somewhere around 150 bottled beers. Of course, the beers are changed regularly to avoid boredom and there are special theme-weeks in which certain beers are celebrated for their contribution to the beer-drinking community.
