    A large option of gluten free beer and a huge quantity of draft and bottle beer. The barman it’s high level, the place is what you want to find here. We will be back tomorrow for sure! Absolutely to try especially if you are celiac.

    One of the best bars in the area. The people there are awesome and super chill. You can walk up to anyone and talk, if anything, about the incredible amount of beers in that place. If you're going alone you can sit at the bar, that way people will actually come up to you to strike a conversation and if anything the bartender will be there as he was really awesome to talk to. He knows his beers super well (apparently has taken courses into the history of the beers and tried all of them, which is crazy to me). The place isn't super packed during the weekdays which is great. You can occasionally see people playing board games while having a beer. They have a small collection there. If you are going, make sure to order the taste test. The bartender lets you try four beers of your choice instead of giving you a full glass of one. Great if you're new to beers like me 👍 He recommended some banger ones.

    Both the beer selection and the friendliness of the hosts were incredible. Saw folks playing board games, relaxing, chatting, great casual spot. We were impressed with the size of the cheese board.

    Awesome business with a never ending list of beers in tinnie form, and about 15 taps. Awesome variety and range of mostly European locations featured. Great bartender and very knowledgeable. Probably one of the greatest craft beer bars I've seen to be honest.

    Despite being so easily accessible from the incredibly tourism focuses Rembrandtplein, this bar manages to be a real hidden gem. Gollem runs a few bars spread across Amsterdam and focuses on craft beer. The Amstelstraat location is very good. It's only small but it has an incredibly expansive beer menu, with a huge selection of bottles pride of place behind the bar. They also have a healthy selection of beers on tap. The bartender was very friendly, and happy to give recommendations. They accept Visa/Mastercard as well as cash and local cards. It's a small place so order at the bar, but you can pay at the end. They also have a tiny pile of board games. Awesome place for craft beer lovers. Plenty of styles and countries are represented, with a good selection of Dutch craft as well. Worth a trip.

    Amazing music, incredible choices of beers. The manager helped us find beer based on personalized tastes. He gave us a taste of some beers before choosing. Amazing place, amazing prices. "How I met your mother" style pub

    Cute pub with good selection of beers in a very central area of Amsterdam. Prices are quite normal. A bit chaotic inside but I think it’s part of the atmosphere. Was good fun!

    Great and diverse beer selection. They have a good location and a nice ambiance and atmosphere. Good service, attentive. I would recommend the stop to anyone who likes beer. There are a few other drinks as well if you are with someone who does not like beer. Overall a good stop, the large menu from beer all around Europe a d location seems to be the best features.

    Excellent spot!!! Laid back, great music and tons of craft beer (taps & cans). Chris behind the bar was so friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. A few other of the other patrons, who all seemed to know each other, and be regulars, made some local restaurant recommendations. I’d definitely hang here if I lived here. I’ll be back during my week visit to Amsterdam. Cheers

    Adorable little bar with an amazing beer menu. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is super relaxed. You will definitely find a beer that suits your taste here and they also have quite some special ones such as lambiek and barrel aged beers here.

    What an amazing pub! Great moody atmosphere with an incredible selection of craft beers both on draught and on bottle. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They'll advise you if you don't know what to get. Didn't find it expensive as well. Definitely worth a visit for beer – or two, or three...

    Very solid beer selection, & a vibrant beer bar atmosphere. It can get crowded when busy, but that speaks to its popularity. The mixed snack platter is huge

  • 5/5 Guy Z. 7 years ago on Google
    The biggest beer selection I've ever seen! 30 beers from tap, and 250+ bottled. The service was very good, and the atmosphere is great. They also offer a small selection of board games to pass the time.

    Good spot and good service with a wide variety of tasty craft beers.

    Best beer bar I found in Amsterdam. Super knowledgeable staff. Awesome beer from around the world. Reasonable prices. I will be back here the next time I come to Amsterdam. The reviews that say you get half foam in the beer, yes, that is how it is intended to be served and beer glasses come with a line for the proper pour, 1/3L 1/2L etc, so you are not being skimped for beer. If you get these beautiful beers without some head on them the bar is doing you a disservice.

    Amazing find in Amsterdam. There are so many different craft beers to choose from. Three walls of beers to choose from in fact! Really friendly staff and obviously got to love the Lord Of The Rings references thrown in.

  • 5/5 Curry K. 6 years ago on Google
    One of fav place beer at Amsterdam with huge variety of drinks and beers. Very nice, cozy and kids friendly. Very friendly fellow, as you walk into the bar and tell him what you feel like having and he will give you sip before you get a full glass. If you love beer, then you got to step into this place.

    A nice cozy and friendly brewery that you can taste craft beers with a small variety of snacks. The stuff was really helpful to suggest a few beers and he spoke perfect English

  • 5/5 Eddie C. 1 year ago on Google
    I can't recommend this bar highly enough. It has a small, cozy atmosphere, the beer selections are excellent and the staff are super welcoming. I came in as a solo traveller to have a quiet beer and ended up meeting some great people, having a good chat and staying for hours enjoying the delicious beers on offer. Thanks for the fun night and I hope to come back again soon!

    Great little bar with a big beer menu. Great outlook onto the bridges and street life. This is no chain bar, it,s cute, small and cosy.

  • 5/5 Dennis van der S. 1 year ago on Google
    I haven't been at a beer bar before with this many beers. Quite a few on tap, the amount in can and bottle is unbelievable. Great setting and location, I could hang out here for days. Unfortunately I had to return to Rotterdam, a city I normaly like, but one where Gollem can open another bar if it was up to me. Love it here!

    Delicious beer. A lot of choice for any beer connaisseur.
