    Great place to hang out with friends and play bar games or board games. The staff is super friendly and the overall atmosphere is fun. Its a little expensive but worth a visit. The only bad thing is how loud the music is.

    Amazing atmosphere, good selection of alcohol, and brilliant customer service. Plenty of things to do with friends or anyone. Good pricing for the pool, great music selection too! Open late if you want somewhere cool to drink.

    Great place where to chill and enjoy some nice drinks, their variety is rich...(I personally recommend the tequila's but well...is your choice, not a big fan of the "shot's" size but the brands are okay) They have a nice terras and some pool tables, they have aswell some private area for big groups; maybe we will see each other one day.

    Looks cool, you can play board games when it's not crowded during the day. We had coffee which was surprisingly delicious, even though it looks like more like a beer and shots bar.

    Very cute place. Prices are good for something so central. The pool tables are great and they have so many games. You can ask for chess pieces at the bar, you can play ticket to ride and so many other games. Also they have beer tap on table if you ask them which is so much fun for big groups

    Great music, good beer and plenty of pool tables

  • 5/5 Brian M. 5 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    A bar fit for tourists and regulars. Max the barman ensured we were maxed out with quality Irish whisky. We enjoyed both his company and hospitality. We needed to lighten the load after a very sombre outing at Anne Franks House. After a whisky we enjoyed a light game of Shuffle before heading off for some Herring around the corner. Don’t miss out on this gig for a drink or a game of pool.

    Great bar. Beer selection is great, pool tables are good quality for what you’re paying and music was grand, had the atmosphere jumping. Bartenders all friendly and know what they’re doing, from the little things like putting beermats over unattended drinks to recommending drinks. Proper cool blokes

    Spent good time playing pool. But during the weekend it can be crowded. You should wait from 30 min - 1 hour till the table is available

  • 4/5 Lucio R. 6 years ago on Google
    Of you want a cold Heineken beer this is a good place. Grab some fries next door at VleminckX and go there for a beer. If you cant cope up with people smoking make sure to go inside.

    Overall very good environment. If you want some classic rock, good energy and have a night away from the chaos this is a great spot for pool, drinks and boardgames. I recommend 🤗 The only "downside" if I have to say something bad about it would be the hygiene of the staff for touching the lemon with fingers and the straw of where I'll put my mouth. But hey.... it was a good evening anyway. I'd absolutely come back again.

    After a sports bar cancelled our booking (as they were to busy) a quick online search led to 14 Scotsmen heading to the pool bar what an experience we requested the Rangers v Celtic football match on tv. No problems the staff were fantastic and accommodating. This is the way to treat customers friendly knowledgeable accommodating. Highly recommend and will visit again. Glad that the sports bar? Cancelled !!! Their loss. Thank you from the rather loud and noisy Scotsmen. 👍👍👍👍👍

    Only popped in for a quick drink but load of tables and a great atmosphere. Make sure you book as they are very popular. We did not get a table but will book next time for sure. Good beer and a great bar for games and pool :)

  • 5/5 Mike 2 months ago on Google • 18 reviews New
    Top location, nice atmosphere, friendly staff, great fun to go with friends or on a date (Note that it may take a long time before you can play pool on an evening, but luckily they have plenty of games available)

  • 2/5 Pieter B. 2 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Extremely noisy and long queues. I'll play pool elsewhere.

  • 3/5 Nikolas K. 9 months ago on Google
    It was a really nice place. The beer was good, the music was good, the vibe was good. We went there during our vacation. The only thing I didn't like was that when we made a reservation for the pool, because there was a waiting line, despite the fact that we were 5th on the line, the waiter kept on skipping us and giving our turn to other people. We went at the bar to ask why they skipped us and told us that we were the 7th. This happened again a second time and this time they told us we were the 9th and it was not our turn yet. In the end a waiter gave us the balls to start playing, but we waited for a lot of time and I didn't like the fact that they forgot about Other than that the place was good.

    This place is an incredible hidden gem. Multiple pool and snooker tables. They even have two shuffle board tables downstairs. Beer selection is solid with a few on draft and lots of local beers available in bottles. The music and this whole place is a vibe!

  • 3/5 Tania G. 1 year ago on Google
    Went here on 5 January 2023. Pool €15 per hour (u get charged per minute). Tables not in great condition, and could do with moderation. Warm and friendly.

  • 5/5 Soren M. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice place to play pool. You can get the tables for €15 per hour (shared between 4 players wouldn’t be that much). There are both small and large tables but you can’t really choose because it depends on the availability. It’d be great if the bar has some snacks in the menu!

  • 5/5 Jean W. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool place to hangout! A lot of pool tables and games! And there is a cute cat at the door welcoming you!

  • 5/5 Stijn Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice bar to hang out or play a game of pool! It's not that expensive and the looks are very nice! If you love busy pub with games and "gezelligheid", you'll love it!

  • 4/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    Cool place to play pool in the center of Amsterdam. You should right away go to the bar to write your name on the waiting list for the pool table on weekends, be cause it can become quite busy. Good AC in there so lots of air circulation.

  • 5/5 Kumar N. 1 year ago on Google
    The best bar in town with the best and warmest folks working there. Have been a regular last 5 years and it's great to see the place being a local favorite. If you're a tourist stop by for some drinks and a game of pool!

  • 5/5 Josh B. 1 year ago on Google
    The best bar you'll ever go to; great vibe, fun crowd, legends behind the bar, and what a financial stroke of luck the prices are! 11/10 thumbs up

  • 5/5 Hungryman A. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice and clean place to play pool and have some drinks. Service is very friendly and they are happy to serve. Will definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Pasquale M. 1 year ago on Google
    A very nice place to play a game of pool or just hang and enjoy the vibe. The prices are for Amsterdam relatively very cheap. On peek hours the waiting time for a pool table is long but they have also a lot of other games to play with your friends or others.

  • 5/5 Oliver S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to chill with some mates. Reasonably priced and plenty of fun games to play.

  • 5/5 Doug B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was awesome. They played great music and playing the Dutch game Sjoelen was really fun too!

  • 5/5 Arwin B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place, great staff. Highly recommend for a night out with friends or your date

  • 5/5 Mick B. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best bars to play pool during your stay in Amsterdam, really kind staff and the crowd is perfect for making new friends. Also, the beer tastes awesome.

  • 5/5 Fran C. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there, the barman was amazing. He recommended me all the beers I had (Like 8) also had some shots with him and even took a picture. There are lots of games to play and the place is very cozy

  • 4/5 Margaly M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was pretty cool. Good drinks and a lot of games (although most were obviously in Dutch). The bathroom was a lot nicer and cleaner than I expected (bar bathrooms are gross). There was a bit of a wait to actually play pool, but all things considered we had a great time!

  • 5/5 Joe I. 1 month ago on Google • 1 review New
    First of all sorry for the late review! I visited here with my son multiple times during my last visit to Amsterdam. Great place to have a beer and a game of pool. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. It was busy at peak times but the wait was fairly short. We will definitely return on our next visit.
