Address
Neighborhood: Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.

- Nadina PNew York City, New York585 contributionsFantastic bar in a great areaThis is another of the bars that I found ahead of time, and it's another of the must-sees. This was my partner's favorite, and it's among my top three. The beer selection here is excellent. The atmosphere and prices are great, and the staff is wonderful. I love the building itself. It's a hopping area, with plenty of food around. We stopped in before going to the Anne Frank House, which isn't very far away. We loved it so much we came back one more time before departing. Definitely make time for this one!Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten November 15, 2023
- Gary712014Manchester, United Kingdom136 contributionsHidden GemVisited on more than one time during our City break. Frank the barman new his beer. Gave us some great tips on local eateries. Had some great local beer in tip top condition. Also tried the Raw sausage , Chimay cheese plate which was really good and went with the beer really well.Visited January 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten January 21, 2024
- BernRDanville, California551 contributionsWe Will be BackLet me start with “we will be back”. Included on our list of stops in future visits. Provided it stays open; I think it will. Picqued by one of Bourdain’s Layover episodes, curiousity brought us to Frank’s place. This was the very first place we visited to kickoff our 3-week European winter holiday. Will be first in future trips no doubt. Cold beer, nice cheese plate, and a very good conversation w Frank on the setup for filming the Layover episode. All very interesting! Highly recommend a visit to this spot for a nice cozy, pub hangout. We’ll certainly be back!Visited January 2024Traveled with familyWritten January 21, 2024
- AndrewDevon, United Kingdom273 contributionsHidden gem!Just popped for a quick drink, but so enjoyed ourselves it deserved a review. This is a very old Dutch bar with lots and lots of different beers, I mean pages and pages of them. The barman speaks perfect English; tell him what style, type and flavours you want in your beer and he’ll happily recommend one. We also tried the original version of gin - Jenever. Great bar and great fun, thank you.Visited March 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten March 16, 2024

Loved the idea of this place but was disappointed, not by the beer choice nor the atmosphere but by the service. Although it was relatively crowded the two servers appeared to be run off their feet and certainly had very little time for a timid bar customer who only wanted a small beer and was looking for their recommendation within a well known beer style (IPA). I think part of the problem is that there is table service outside. Just stop doing it! Make people come in for their drinks. You can't manage a busy bar and a full terrace at the same time withoiut a full complement of servers. Anyway, despite all the glowing reviews, I was made to feel unwelcome and the frenzied action in and around the bar is not conducive to the relaxing experience we all want in a fine beer bar. If you intend to pay a visit I would definitely make sure you miss the early evening rush. Oh, and the beer they recommended was a relatively undistinguished IPA that cost something in the order of a fiver for a toothmug full (nearly full)

Alright so we were in the 420 and did the 420 blaaaazeee. Everybody's like, yeah cool, we should go out and have a beer. So all of the sudden, we end up in this place while we be trippin' major B's. There was no music and everyone was staring at us like we were off our faaaceees.... which we were. So things got real awkward real quick and the 420 made me come down faster than the space shuttle. So we chugged our beers and made our way out. Would not recommend on the 420 blaze

We really like a good beer, this bar has lots of it, so should really get 4 or 5 stars but........... sadly one of their staff let them down. One server in particular, heavily bearded bloke, was rude and unhelpful. It wasn't because he was overly busy, it was just his attitude was bigger than the list of beers.
We had a couple of beers here, other staff were lovely but it only takes one person to spoil the experience. In a country and city renowned for great beer, your ISP has to be more than the list of IPA's.

Undoubtedly the best beer bar in Amsterdam. Th product range is huge and always has fresh offerings.
The staff were friendly and efficient and very helpful.
We also had an excellent cold platter when deciding that we would prefer to stay there rather than going to a restaurant for dinner.

My husband and I came here while on our honeymoon. It's located on a lively street and there is outdoor seating. Inside is a bit dark when the weather is pretty outside. Bartender was friendly and the beers and food were good! A lot of people watching when sitting outside.

We visited this Bar following a recommendation from friends. The Bar man or manager (older grey hair guy) was rude as was his female side kick.
The Beer was ok.
However as Above the bar staff either do not like English Travelers or they need to go on customer service courses.
We will not come back and will not recommend to friends

Loved the beer variety and snacks! We had the smoked mussels and the meatballs, both delicious! There were so many great beers to choose from and we enjoyed sitting outside watching all of the crowds walk by. Definitely a hidden gem among the more touristy bars in Amsterdam!

A great bar for craft ales with a great selection on draft and in bottles. It was fairly quiet when we visited and the bar tender was very helpful in assuming us with our selection of an average strength (5% session ale). Being central the prices weren’t particularly cheap but this is what you expect in a city. Really enjoyed our time there and our beers here.

Follow Niewendijk from your hotel and 3-4 streets off to the right on KOLKSTREET. It is a rather small place on the left side of Kolk if you come from Niewendijk.
