Bar Bukowski
Literary all-day café and cocktail bar facing Oosterpark
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
A decade-old Oost fixture across from Oosterpark, running from morning coffee and lunch into an evening cocktail-and-music bar, themed (lightly) on Charles Bukowski. Functional, stylish and emphatically a real local rather than a memorabilia tourist trap. A reliable neighbourhood anchor for a drink in the east.
