GlouGlou — Wine bar in Amsterdam

GlouGlou opened in 2015 on the Tweede van der Helststraat in De Pijp, making it the first natural wine bar in the Netherlands. Ten years later nothing about the concept has changed, and that says enough. No cocktail list, no bar snacks, no DJ on Fridays. Just wine, from people who are serious about it. In a neighbourhood that has become ever busier and more touristy, GlouGlou stays exactly itself: a small, charming bar with a terrace among the flowers, a bit like stumbling into a side street in Paris. Exclusively vin naturel: organic, without artificial pesticides, filtration, sulphites or other additives. The list is compact and changing, with a selection from France, Spain and Italy, and most wines are available by the glass. No extensive snack menu: cheese and charcuterie boards are the limit. Whatever you like, you can take home too: the bottles are for sale.
