    Exceptional list of every type of beer you could wish for! Highly recommended definitely a go to if I'm ever back in Amsterdam. One minus point being short the toilet made me look like I was a 5 year old

    Very characteristic and typical pub in a beautiful area of Amsterdam city center. On normal days it is crowded but if you can manage to find a spot it’s absolutely worth it. It’s a great atmosphere and they have a huge variety of delicious beers. One of best pubs I’ve been to so far!

    A superb, compact but cosy, beer bar. It really suits its dark, wooden interior. Being situated on a narrow, winding Amsterdam street adds to its aura too. A substantial, high quality list of local and Belgian beers is guaranteed. Don't ask for a recommendation though as you might be told: "you've made your problem, my problem now." or maybe do ask.

    Best selection of beers I've seen anywhere in the world. Small quaint pub, get there early for a seat. Bartender is all business and likes to pop outside for a smoko throughout the night. Snacks only.

    What a pleasant surprise. In a narrow alley between very touristy streets, this is a great escape from the madness. A proper Dutch dive bar yet pouring some quality draft beer. Rustic, cozy, friendly. A great spot for a beer or to spend a night out.

  • 5/5 Ernesto N. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 237 reviews New
    Great pub and tons of beers!!! Very friendly staff and customers. I really enjoyed my time here. Wish I had tried the food but we had just finished dinner. One of my husband's favorite places to go.

    Fantastic pub! Super authentic, very good beer reasonably priced. Barman was very kind and knowledgeable

  • 5/5 Dragos B. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 130 reviews
    Quite a small place, but we were able to find a place to sit down and have a beer. I quite like the cozy atmosphere, and the beer selection is quite varied (but, unfortunately, not many imperial stouts or porters on the list)

  • 5/5 Clark S. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 108 reviews
    Fun atmosphere, Nice to mingle with locals as well as tourists alike. Nice beer selection on tap.

  • 4/5 Alexandra C. 5 months ago on Google β€’ 68 reviews
    We were a big group, 8 people, the place is small, but we managed to fit. It feels very local, true beer place. They have a lot of beers and the music is great. Come here to drink a beer with the locals.

  • 5/5 Foodieeda 1 year ago on Google
    Such a cozy place with a huge selection of beers! Jeroen was so helpful with our orders since we weren’t sure what to drink. Highly recommend here if you love beer!

  • 5/5 Roxas K. 7 months ago on Google
    So there are no food options, and the bar is kinda small, but the vibes are good. There are a lot of specialty beers on tap and in the fridge. Highly recommended for beer fans and anyone looking for a good vibe. Can get crowded and busy.

  • 3/5 Santi T. 4 months ago on Google
    Nice selection of beers, quiet place for a talk and drink, no music

  • 5/5 Kyle S. 7 months ago on Google
    Loved this spot, so many beer options one of everything and all types of beer. They even have their own craft beer, really enjoyed their ipa which wasnt too hoppy and great taste. Good mix of local and tourist. Atmosphere is awesome and would highly recommend to anyone

  • 5/5 Christopher M. 6 months ago on Google
    A small pub in Amsterdam. Did I say small πŸ™‚πŸ™‚. Good atmosphere and a great selection of beers. Very old building.

  • 5/5 TJ P. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 53 reviews New
    Nice local joint. The bartender was friendly. We tried a liquorice liquor. She recommended some breweries around the local provinces. HUGE selection of beers!!

  • 5/5 David A. 11 months ago on Google
    Great pub away from busy tourist area. Original old features. Good atmosphere, cool music (American punk rock), and large selection of beers on tap. Beer range includes local breweries. Not a huge amount of seating.

  • 5/5 Samuel A. 9 months ago on Google
    The best bar in Amsterdam, all 3 of the regular bartenders are truly amazing, I wish there was a bar like this in every city. Many good options for everyone who fancies a good beer.

  • 4/5 Burak οΏ½. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cosy and nice place and not so tight inside like other pubs in Amsterdam. I also liked the numerous option of beers. Only bad thing for me is that they do not have french fries.

  • 5/5 Kat H. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent hole in the wall with quick service, and a huge selection of beers. Great atmosphere and playlist. Be prepared for standing room only!

  • 5/5 J. H. 2 years ago on Google
    Good variety of beers. I liked the little dark place. Service knew what I needed and gave me good recommendations.

  • 5/5 RΓ©mi G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great selection of beers : local breweries, Belgian classics, Witbiers, you name it, they probably have it. Good location, small and cosy room for a pint with a few friends. Recommended.

  • 5/5 TimeTo E. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice beer bar with good atmosphere. Bartender helps with a order. A big choice a different beer from everywhere. A price was nice, quality of beer nice. You should visit this place. Enjoy

  • 5/5 Stewart T. 6 years ago on Google
    Want a historic place to have beer? This is the spot. Tucked away in a narrow side alley/street, with a good selection of Dutch and European beers to choose from. It was a one person operation both times I went, so please tip to show appreciation.

  • 5/5 Alicia P. 4 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I loved this "Brown Bar" so much that we came here not once, not twice, but three times. This is seriously the perfect Amsterdam bar (I know because we went to at least 50 over five days). It's down a small ally, there is a sign that says "dogs are welcome, humans are tolerated," and there is an insanely amazing beer selection. Each beer is also poured in its appropriately branded glass. There's wifi and bathrooms. There's tiny little stools and old wooden tables. This place is seriously without question my favorite bar in Amsterdam. I cannot recommend it more highly.

    4 Gluten free beers available! See the photos attached. Nice small bar with a lot of atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Susan E. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great find! So many beers from all over. Very intimate, but didn't take itself too seriously. We really enjoyed our evening in here and the barman was very friendly and chilled as only the Dutch know how...

  • 5/5 Andrei B. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a genuine brown cafΓ©, with a large (very large) variety of Belgian beers. Cozy place in the most traditional style of Amsterdam. My place to go for a pub crawl.

  • 5/5 Niels A. 9 months ago on Google
    Great diversity of beers in cosey Dutch brown bar ambiance. A place where you typically get involved in conversations with other visitors. But of course you can also just be with your own people.

  • 5/5 Miguel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Little hole with amazing selection of beers. Try the Belgian ones. Friendly staff

  • 5/5 Cem S. 1 year ago on Google
    I spent a great evening here and this place is a hidden gem. They have a very good selection of Belgian beers. Service is also kind and helpful. Must see place!

  • 5/5 Jane J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of craft beers. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff! :)

  • 5/5 Frosty P. 1 year ago on Google
    Huge amount of beers. 15 on tap and more than 100 bottled. Small and very cozy, especially during rainy days. The place feels homely. Very nice staff. The place is pretty much full all the time.

  • 5/5 Petar A. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my fave places in Amsterdam. The alley leadin to it looks like a genuine film set. The atmosphere is cozy and tight, but that's what makes it even more interesting. Lots of beer to choose from and great value for the money.

  • 5/5 Farhad H. 10 months ago on Google
    Great choice of tap beers. I had a nice tasting thanks to bartender Daniel!

  • 5/5 Alyssa H. 10 months ago on Google
    We ended up coming here over and over again on our trip. The bartenders were extremely friendly and attentive. The selection of beer was unbeatable for us!
