Stumbled upon this absolute gem and cannot rate it highly enough. The drink menu is so creative and…read morethe cocktails are actually crafted, complex masterpieces- not your average vodka & sugary chemical concoction. Loved the Lavender Honey Sour & their signature drink especially but really enjoyed the adventure of trying different cocktails in comparison to the compass + walk/run/fly menu descriptions. Everyone working there took their time with us to chat professionally but casually and gave recommendations which made it an even better experience. Plus, it had a very cool ambiance and we were able to immediately be seated both times. When we travel, we like to try new places every time but this is the first time we decided we had to go back again before we left Amsterdam. Shoutout to Alina who was there both times! Not surprised to see she is an owner, she had that sh*t on lock!! Honestly an integral part of the enjoyment of our experience. Thanks for an unforgettable time!

I've been to a few of the other locations, but the Handboogstraat spot just hits different. It's…read moregot that dark, slightly chaotic, "rariteitenkabinet" vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a hidden club rather than a burger joint. We kept it classic this time: * The Ribs: Fall-off-the-bone tender as always. They don't over-sweeten the glaze, which I appreciate. * Le Cannibale Royale: The pulled pork on top of the patty is a heavy hitter, but the sauerkraut actually cuts through the richness perfectly. * The Fries: Still some of the most consistent in the city--thin, salty, and actually hot. Service was busy (it's Handboogstraat, so what do you expect?), but the staff was super chill and kept the craft beers flowing. It's loud, it's moody, and it's exactly what I wanted for a late-night feed. Plus, I've noticed they actually take the time to read and reply to feedback here, which is a rare find for a place this popular. Keep doing what you're doing!

This was absolutely THE spot to try a sample of local favorite bar foods. We snacked on Dutch cheese, marinated olives, bitterballen, and meatballs, all with mustards and jams/sauces - every single bite was exquisite. They had a good sampling of local beers, and we tried a few different ones. The service was excellent inside, the bartender was friendly (and funny!) and served us attentively. I loved the original interiors and cozy brown cafe vibes. It's in a great location near other shops and sites if you're looking to make an afternoon of it - which you should!

Wanted to try something new in Amsterdam, so we came to De Nachtwacht in Rembrandtplein. Didn't…read morerealize it was such a famous steakhouse! Since we came pretty late, none of the appetizers were available and only steaks. Which was fine for me, since I didn't want to waste any valuable calories on anything but steak. Ordered a massive Côte de Beouf (800 grams or 28 ounces) and some Grilled Vegetables on the side. This was an extremely well-cooked steak! European medium rare borders closer to rare than medium, which is fine for me as long as the steak is cooked well. Quite tasty! Service was fine, no complaints from me. Honestly can't believe I've never been to De Nachtwacht before. Definitely need to come back.

It seems that every street in London advertises that they have the world's best hamburgers or…read morepancakes. Well, tonight we tested out this aggressive statement to see if it was true or just a marketing scheme. The front of the Burger Bar was illuminated in big red bold letters and the giant wedge fries were proudly positioned in the window for customers to salivate over. We pondered the wall menu for a bit then ordered the Classic Burger with fries and a soft drink combo. The chef tossed a big beef patty onto the flat grill and waited at a wooden table out front impatiantly about fifteen minutes. OMG, it was big, juicy and spiced perfectly with bacon and caramelized onions (see pic). The oversized seasoned fries went well with the burger. I'm hoping that every burger joint in Amsterdam will be as tasty as this great find today.

I'll definitely be back!

We didn't have a reservation but were able to walk right in around 5:30 PM, with only a couple of tables occupied at the time. It filled up quickly as our dinner went on, so walking in earlier definitely helped. We ordered steaks and lobster, and also noticed the steak salad going by, which looked fantastic. Everything we had was cooked well and tasted great. The service was friendly and attentive without being pushy, and the drinks were nicely made. The restaurant is well-decorated with a cozy, modern feel. The only minor drawback is the restrooms--they're a bit tricky to access, but honestly that's pretty normal for Amsterdam's older buildings. All in all, I'd definitely return. Good food, great service, and a convenient location make Black & Blue a solid choice for dinner in the area.
