About Trees

Trees is a practical pick for a central Amsterdam wine-led drink, especially if you want an easy plan rather than a hard-to-secure destination bar. The Star Wine List recognition gives it credibility, but use it for drinks first and treat food as a nice extra rather than the main reason to go.

Trees is an Amsterdam venue to consider when the plan is built around confirmed basics rather than assumptions. The verified details are limited, so the safest way to plan is around its opening hours, casual dress code, and Star Wine List (2026) recognition rather than around any specific cuisine, menu format, price range, or service style.

For a first visit, avoid building the night on details that are not confirmed. Trees is open Tuesday through Saturday, with later hours on Friday and Saturday, and closed on Sunday and Monday. The Star Wine List recognition is the clearest confirmed distinction, but there is no verified price range, menu format, seat count, or dining style to use as a planning anchor.

Choose it for an evening stop, not a fully defined format

The smart read is to plan around the confirmed basics, then check directly with the venue for anything more specific. With no confirmed cuisine style, menu format, or price range to lean on, it should not be chosen on those details alone. For a first-timer, that is useful clarity: if the priority is a broader restaurant search, start with our full Amsterdam restaurants guide and use Trees only where its confirmed details fit the evening.

If the night is more about an Amsterdam evening out and the confirmed Star Wine List (2026) recognition matters to you, the case gets stronger. Compared with other options such as Super Lyan, In ‘t Aepjen, or Café Old Sailor, Trees is the clearer choice when that recognition is part of the decision.

Use it as an Amsterdam evening option, then cross-shop by mood

For a first Amsterdam night, the useful move is to keep the plan flexible. Trees can be considered alongside other named options such as Super Lyan, In ‘t Aepjen, Café Old Sailor, Wynand Fockink Proeflokaal and Spirits, and other Amsterdam venues, depending on what kind of evening you want.

Visitors building a wider trip should separate categories rather than forcing one venue to do everything. Use our full Amsterdam bars guide for evening options, our full Amsterdam hotels guide for where to stay, and broader Amsterdam planning resources for the rest of the itinerary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time to go to Trees?

Go Tuesday to Thursday if you want the earlier confirmed closing time, since Trees is open 6 PM to 12 AM on those nights. Friday and Saturday run from 6 PM to 3 AM, so those are the better picks for a later start. Trees is closed on Sunday and Monday.

Does Trees have happy hour deals?

There's no confirmed happy hour detail to plan around, so treat Trees as a normal night-out stop rather than a discount stop. The safer move is to plan around the confirmed hours, casual dress code, and Star Wine List (2026) recognition.

Is Trees good for groups?

There is no verified seating capacity or group policy, so check directly with the venue before planning a group visit. In ‘t Aepjen or Café Old Sailor may also be worth comparing; Trees makes more sense if its Star Wine List (2026) recognition is part of the appeal.

Is Trees open late?

Yes, especially on Friday and Saturday, when it stays open until 3 AM. Tuesday through Thursday close at midnight, and Trees is closed on Sunday and Monday. For a late evening out, compare it with other Amsterdam options by checking each venue's current hours.

How Trees compares in central Amsterdam

Choose Trees when wine credibility matters more than pub history or cocktail theatrics. In ‘t Aepjen and Café Old Sailor are better fits for a traditional Amsterdam drinking-room mood, while Trees is the sharper call for a first-timer who wants the drinks list to carry the decision.

Super Lyan is the stronger cross-shop if the group wants cocktails and a more designed bar experience. Trees is easier to justify when the night is wine-first and lower-commitment. For visitors comparing central options, Wynand Fockink Proeflokaal and Spirits leans more toward spirits and tasting-room tradition, so pick that for genever and liqueurs rather than wine.

Oudezijds Achterburgwal works as a location-based comparison rather than a direct format match: choose it when the neighborhood itself is the plan. Choose Trees when the bar choice needs a clearer wine signal and an easier first stop before deciding where the rest of the night goes.
