Really the best beer bar that I know so far in Amsterdam. Regarding the choice: of course La Trappe, De Molen and Skuumkoppe. Also order the old cheese as a side dish and finish with a shot of jenever- Robin BertelsFebruary 17, 2015Only Dutch craft beer, 30 on tap and around 100 bottled. Great selection of beers from Brouwerij De Molen. Go check the blackboards and make your choice. Beers on tap also served in 15cl tasters.
In this amazing bar you'll always find one, if not ten, surprising new beer to try. All beers being Dutch, it is the place to discover Holland's newly found brewing pride!
Christopher SikoraJanuary 19, 2015Best pub on the Herengracht Canal, also one of the priciest, but worth it. Incredible selection of local Dutch microbrews, great location in Jordaan with outdoor seating and nice evening crowd.
Maxwell FoxmanSeptember 11, 2014While this bar may be more filled with tourists than locals, I think it has possibly the most complete list of Dutch Craft Beers in the city. Highly recommend if you want to get a feel for the scene.
Ryan TauerJune 7, 2017Great atmosphere with a very wide selection of Dutch only craft beers. More seating down stairs. Start here and drink at the owner's other 3 bars in town for a free shirt (they have flyers explaining)
Party EarthOctober 26, 2012The 24-page beer menu provides not only prices but also short bios of each beer including the history, location and alcohol percentage. The strongest beer available are Bombs and Grenades (15.2% abv). Read more
Simon OpsomerMarch 29, 2022Enormous selection of beers on tap. But also ask the bartender to recommend some genevers. They shouldn’t be missed either.
Mehrnoosh BenissSeptember 21, 2019“Grej” bear(sweet and strong)and also “Top of morning” (dark with the taste of chocolate) are amazing!
- Ivo LammersDecember 31, 2015One of the best beer places in Amsterdam. 30 beers from draft. All Dutch! Staff have very good knowledge. True recommendation for both tourist as locals

Carys WilliamsApril 22, 2013Lovely bar by the canal with a great selection of local Dutch beers and a couple of others thrown in for good measure. Highly recommend if you want something different from lager.
