Admission includes three half-pint glasses of Heineken - one early in the tour at the "Brewhouse Bar" and the last two at the end, in the "See You Again Bar" - as well as a souvenir tin and glass at the very end of your tour.
Exhibits include explanations of the brewing process and the history of Heineken. Highlights of the tour include two Disney like rides; the first in which visitors stand on a moving platform as they witness the bottling process through the eyes of a bottle; the second involves a simulation of a Heineken horse drawn delivery wagon driving through the streets of Amsterdam.

Judging by the proud autographed photos on the wall, many famous Americans have dropped in. You're welcome to enjoy a bottomless cup of coffee and just chat and enjoy the atmosphere. Located between Dam Square and the Anne Frank House at Oude Leliestraat #2 - it's owned and operated by two Americans, Steve and John.
Finally, we all decided to move down the street to "Sushi Me!" for dinner. The sushi was very good, though not the best we've ever had. Nonetheless, we had a wonderful day with our new
