Worst costumer service ever!!! There was a very rude woman at the bar, she didn't even answer where the bathroom was, very bad attitude. She was outside the bar all the time smoking marijuana and drinking beer with her friends and she got mad when someone went to the bar and she gotta work. It was a shame because it’s a cool place with a nice atmosphere but trust me, don’t go if you want to have a good one.

Shocking experience. I live in Amsterdam and thought I would give this a try but oh my, what a complete waste of time. Overpriced. Bad service. Terrible attitude and that's just the owner. Don't get me started on the staff. Unbelievable.

Me and my friends were regular customers not anymore!!! They really have cero customer friendly attitude.
We were passing while celebrating a Bachelorette party and as everyone who knows this place would know that you can also sit outside. As long as you respect this "imaginary" ... almost invisible line the have outside and that it comes with this "rude" tall Dutch guy who's always moody. Doing his job as if he hates it...
The bride to be happened to start chatting with one of the couples outside. Then this rude Dutch tall guy came to us telling we are not welcome and move on from the place... what?!
Has he called himself the bouncer of the street? We on the street and he apparently or they apparently own the street? Poor personal business skills. Zero professional attitude and zero service minded.
We'll never go there again. We spent lots here not anymore.

What to say about this place? About the excellent service? About the extremely big variety of beers? Are just the magnificent combination of all the above? Of course the third option. I would definitely go back there and would highly recommend this place

Have to give this place the lowest score possible. It looks great and full of character but we were told we wouldn't get served because it was toò busy and too small for our party. Not only that the woman behind the bar was rude.

I am sorry you had a bad experience but we dont allow groups (party's) because of the size of Cafe Belgique. The cafe would otherwise be full and taking over by one group.
I apologize if you experienced the reaktion of my staff as rude this is not allowed and I will not accept.

This is one of those places you do not expect to see in such a popular district. Located next to Dam Square, do not let its location fool you. A friendly little pub with many beer options. Close to 10 taps, it offers many craft Belgium beers. Everything is reasonably priced.
The only downside is to find a suitable spot to sit and enjoy your drink. Seats are very limited. Only two long benches outside and three tables inside with additionally 5 bar stools.
A delight and a must go to for the pub enthusiasts. Friendly staff too. You could have convivial conversations with the regulars and tourists and make your visit a true experience.
Last time I visited was two years ago. Now, in November 2014, I noticed they offer more beers, the selection is always expanding.
Even if you are willing to drink only one beer, just go and experience this pub!

As I love belgian beers and the pub was suggested by many we dropped in. It is just few steps from the shopping street. First of all it is very small, rundown, little bit dirty looking place and I was not overwhelmed by the selection of beer either. Kind of a dissapointment.

What luck. We had two beer houses in the small laneway style street where we were staying. This one was our second choice, as the other was full of historic atmosphere. Cafe Belgique was still outstanding, with the service 'spot on'. Make sure you sample Jack's beer. Mind you, my first name is Jack!
