Oedipus began with four friends trying out some experimental brewing methods, and its brightly labelled bottles are now an Amsterdam institution. This converted warehouse space is a key Noord hangout, with outdoor seating lit by coloured fairy lights. Immerse yourself in some Oedipus history by sampling Mannenliefde ('Men Love'), its first-ever beer, flavoured with lemongrass, Szechuan pepper and Sorachi Ace hops.
Sensational burgers by the Beef Chief, including veggie options, are a perfect pairing (€10-13).
