 VOC cafe by pieter_jan_v
It's a basr in an historic setting with some backrooms for a more private get together.
This was the ideal starting point for our Feb 22 2003 VT-meeting (and a later one as well).
Just had a nice lemon tea here. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalComparison: about averageAddress: Prins Hendrikkade 94/95 - 1012 AE AmsterdamPhone: +31-20-4288291Directions: South East of the Central Station. Don't take the main exit bridge, but the next one East.Website: http://www.schreierstoren.nl

Okay, this place isn't just historic, it's very historic!
The VOC Cafe is located in Amsterdam's oldest defense tower, the Schreierstoren, or tower of tears. It was owned by the Dutch East India Company (hence the initials). The trading company would post on a outside wall the name of any men "lost at sea"; when their wives would see their names and realize that they were suddenly impoverished widows, it was only a short stroll for them to the main prostitution center of the city where they could begin their new lives!
No weeping here today. I've read that while the exterior of the tower is more or less original, the interior is defintion "faux history." Oh well, it's still a pleasant (and non-commercial) space in the center of the city.
