Delirium Cafe Amsterdam

Restaurant Bar Pub Event venue Live music venue

😠 Bad experience. Was so excited to visit, as their signature brew is sold at on of the bars I frequent in little Cambridge, WI. Sign on patio said that they open at 4:00, so we, and a bunch of others, dutifully waited. At 4:00 the owner/manager? came out and yelled at us that they do not open until... People often mention beer, beers, nice, selection, good, Great, staff, great, water, location,

    Bad experience. Was so excited to visit, as their signature brew is sold at on of the bars I frequent in little Cambridge, WI. Sign on patio said that they open at 4:00, so we, and a bunch of others, dutifully waited. At 4:00 the owner/manager? came out and yelled at us that they do not open until 4:30. I pointed out that the sign says 4:00 and he got very snotty and said, yeah, well, I changed my mind! I looked at him and said, Yeah? Well so did we! We went across the tracks to a very sweet welcoming bar. Later, we did pay this place a visit. It feels dirty and dingy. We were told seating was only near the bar and someone threw menus on the table without any further information. We waited. And waited. Finally someone from our party got up, went to the bar and ordered for all of us. Beer was fine. They pour too large a head on it, though. Could have done without the attitude. We left as soon as we could. Rudeness should never be rewarded. Amsterdam, overall, has the best service. Kind, thoughtful, caring people. But not here.

    My idea of a perfect bar. Brilliant beers... so much choice of superb beers on the tap. If you can't did an ideal beer on the 20 or so taps there are several hundred bottled beers to choose from. I only went for the on taps and all were brilliant. Barman was incredibly knowledgeable and super patient with my questions. If you're in the area this is a must visit!

    Pity there isn’t an option to go lower than 1 star…. We were a group of 20 people who reserved, got an email confirmation, and continued to communicate that we will be 25 people in the end which was also confirmed, with 2 dogs and yet we were faced with a very rude waiter/owner/grouch. He was rude to us, said he didn’t want dogs in the cafe and he didn’t care what email confirmation we had got. Rudeness shouldn’t be rewarded or tolerated and 1 drink later we settled the bill and walked across to the cafe opposite Hanneke Boom where we were met by a lovely staff who accommodated all of us and we had a great time!

    Highly recommendable for beer lovers. Huge selection of beers, don't forget to try the signature Delirium beer from the place. Surprisingly, great spot for meals as well. I can highly recommned the spare ribs and burger (pictures included). For more experiences like this, follow me @quiquinnv

    A lovely place close to the water. There are many nice beers and you can get a tray of 3 small glasses of different tap beers to try them out. The staff was very kind. We will come back to try out more kinds of beer!

    Good atmosphere and fantastic staff. Plenty of choice of beers, some on tap, some in bottles. Other drinks available for anyone who isn't a beer drinker. Had some Nachos, huge portion and lovely! Would return here!

    (Translated by Google) Been to delirium Amsterdam several times. Always super entertained, but last time it was disappointing. Beer has a lot of choices, but on the pricey side. In addition, not all waitresses were so customer-oriented, often did not speak Dutch, had no knowledge whatsoever to explain the various specialty beers and made messy mistakes such as serving the wrong beer. Also often have to wait a long time. The beef burger was good, but not special either. Well, you shouldn't be there especially for hamburger, only for specialty beer. (Original) Al meerdere malen bij delirium Amsterdam geweest. Altijd super vermaakt echter afgelopen keer viel het toch tegen. Aan bier is veel keuze, echter wel aan de prijzige kant. Daarnaast waren niet alle serveersters zo klantgericht, spraken veelal geen Nederlands, hadden totaal geen kennis om uitleg te geven over de verschillende speciaalbieren en maakte slordige foutjes als verkeerde biertje serveren. Ook vaak lang moeten wachten. De runderhamburger was goed, echter ook niet speciaal. Tja speciaal voor de hamburger moet je er niet wezen, alleen voor speciaalbier.

    (Translated by Google) We were treated very unkindly yesterday, or not at all. When my friend indicated that he wanted to wait with ordering until I was there, he was told that it was 'no bus stop here'. I know it is a beer cafe, but when asked if I could also order a wine, I was clearly annoyed, I was told again. In the end there turned out to be a glass of wine and those rolling eyes would not have been necessary. This, and an unpleasant atmosphere on the terrace, make that I will not come back here, very unfortunate because the location is beautiful! (Original) Wij werden erg onvriendelijk te woord gestaan gisteren, of eigenlijk gewoon niet. Toen mijn vriend aangaf even te willen wachten met bestellen totdat ik er was kreeg hij te horen dat het 'hier geen busstop was'. Ik weet dat het een biercafe is maar op de vraag of ik ook een wijntje kon bestellen werd mij dat duidelijk geïrriteerd, nogmaals verteld. Uiteindelijk bleek er toch een glas wijn te zijn en waren die rollende ogen dus niet nodig geweest. Dit, en een ongezellige ambiance op het terras maken dat ik hier niet terug zal komen, erg jammer want de locatie is prachtig!

    Fantastic waterside bar with 500 beers. Lovely ambience both inside and on the waterfront. Lovely food for private events

    What happened to this great place? Everytime when I am coming (not weekends) they don't have tables, only with a reservation, even though there are only couple of tables occupied (5-6). The same worker, both times didn't even let us sit outside for 30 min to have one-two beers (the tables were absolutely empty, was veeery windy) and was very rude. Very disappointing.. Now, only small delirium is the place where I can still enjoy a nice beer with a nice staff.

    Very trendy out of the way cafe & craft beer emporium! Super selection of beer & radlers.. we ate outdoors at the picnic tables & experienced a beautiful Amsterdam sunset. Food was pretty decent and staff very friendly. Gave great suggestions on beer sampling. If you like the craft beer experience- go here when in Amsterdam 🇳🇱 🍻❤️💙

    The location is pretty nice, especially for those very rainy nights. However, the poor service and the staff's rudeness makes this place recommendable only if all other pubs near by are already full. The only have biers, so don't expect to find anything else. Although they do have a lot of beers in the menu, if you want a specific, rare, one they probably don't have it on stock. Worth to mention they have only one type of gluten free beer. And it's not the best 🙈

    We came at 8:30 on Thursday night, the bar was empty. We entered as we were informed they’d closed the bar. That’s our third time trying to come in, they simply don’t want to open/ work.

  • 4/5 khushal v. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice variety of beers but it's a bit expensive. Costs around 6€ for 25cl. Location is nice and right next to the river. Service is good and fast. They serve almost all varieties of delirium beer.

  • 5/5 Davide C. 2 years ago on Google
    Not the easiest place to find, also because of the many current building sites around the neighborhood, but surely worth a visit. We sat outside for a couple of beers in the afternoon, on a nice covered terrace with a view on the sea. All tables were fully booked for later in the day, so be sure to call in advance if you are planning to go for an evening out with friends. Good selection of mostly Belgian beers, in addition to all the variations of the trademark Delirium on tap.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 2 years ago on Google
    Epic beer selection. Totally worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Matthijs D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot to look over the Ij and have one of their great selection of beers. Or two. Or three. Snacks are tasty. The terrace is completely covered so it's also fine for a rainy day.

    Great beer selection, lots of draft beers that are more than worth it to try. Friendly staff and nice ambience

  • 5/5 Tom H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of tap beers -- 20 of them of various thinkable types from NL, BE and DE. Also such a nice vibe of the place!

  • 5/5 Meadowdoe W. 1 year ago on Google
    Iconic spot in Brussels, it’s always packed but had to stop in to try the “beer metre”. Great beer, music and atmosphere. Bathrooms surprisingly clean.

  • 5/5 Dominik K. 1 year ago on Google
    Original Blanche de Namur! I strongly recommend this place

  • 2/5 Gueni V. 4 years ago on Google
    Overpriced food which tastes not good, they have a big range of beers (also 20 on tap) but also a bit pricy. The selection is good and you will find something... service was slow and not very friendly. The view to the Harbour is nice but overall not recommended.

  • 2/5 Resa D. 3 years ago on Google
    The food wasn't that good, but for drinking beer it's probably perfect

  • 2/5 Anne Z. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was horrendous, the beer was okay, a good amount at least if not the best variety in breweries. The beer chart design could use a LOT of work, you basically have no idea what to expect from the beer except for the most general of styles (it's an ipa, but what kind? nobody knows. Which flavour? Nobody knows). The price was kind of high for the quality of food especially. The staff was great though, the person who was behind the bar when we went (last evening) was really cool

  • 2/5 Anna Mc Namara T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great location, horrible staff. Went her end of August. This goes past the usual Dutch 'directness' and 'rudeness', as I have lived here for two years and have had better 'Dutch' service everywhere. Bar tender was an awful man. The other guy taking reservations and peoples names on a clip board came over to our table to take a chair to another table, and just picked it up, shock my friends bag off of it and let my friends bag and coat fall onto the floor. Didn't apologies, didn't ask to move it, didn't come back to pick it up. Ridiculous. They act like they don't want your business.

    (Translated by Google) Great corner on the water and of course a lot of beer. But beer tasting is not to be expected. Three small beers from 20 varieties and three snacks that more closely resemble a skewer from the cheese hedgehog (Original) Tolle Ecke am Wasser und natürlich ordentlich Bier.

  • 3/5 Katarzyna W. 3 years ago on Google
    Good location and beautiful view. Atmosphere on the water front terrace is really relaxing. The choice of beer is humongous. However I would expect better food offer and nicer designed menus. The burger and the pizza where at the best case scenario mediocre and very expensive. Menu is just a binder with printed plain white pieces of paper. Just 10 more minutes in Word would make it look at least a bit decent. It is a little bummer as the place has a great potential.
