    Wow, what an amazing setting. The ambiance is just amazing, pic nic table on the quay, chilled as can be. You order your drinks through an app, they bring it over. Definitely wish i could have spent more time there , will be back for sure!!

    Old famous bar built in 1662 as a stop place when the ships got in at night and the sailors could not go into the city until the next day

    Another brown bar, situated on the water on a pontoon, love these bars. This bar is hundreds of years old and here was were the sailors that arrived late at night could not go on shore until the next day. Lot's of history here, there is an antique heating element in the middle of the bar that has to be at least 200 years old. The place is loud and crowded and you have to be pretty aggressive to get an order of drinks, again very grateful for my Dutch co-worker.

    Looking forward to avoiding the crowds Amsterdam's tourist? Then this is the place for its location is a bit obscure and just what a local ordered, but once you cross the bridge you are in a world of toasty fireplaces, plush seating, and warm Irish coffees. The service here is excellent and the menu is loaded with yummy options...Bitterballen (Dutch Meatballs) anyone? This place is very cool, and I am certain that if I lived in Amsterdam, I would be here on a regular basis. From its hip location to its inviting patio, you can't go wrong with this one.

    Very lively dive bar along the canal. It was a fun place to watch the sunset and grab a beverage. The space is quite large and very casual. The staff were all friendly and everyone was in good spirits. The beer was cold and the wine was tasty too. The bar food looked good for snacking though we decided that it wasn't the kind of place where you really eat a meal at. It can be a bit of a challenge to find since it's kind of a long walk from the central station but it's a nice walk.

    This was such a great summertime hangout. We pulled up at the dock in the boat, had some great Belgian beer, delicious Dutch bitterballen, and great company at this super-cute waterfront cafe and bar in this shack-like decor with a fun after-work crowd. The place is decorated with salvaged and recycled furniture. Live music some nights. I can't wait to go back!!

    Very nice setting, enjoyed this low key bar. Great place to hang out and relax. Off the beaten path of the hustle and bustle but worth seeking out.

    It's such a cool place to hang out with friends and have a beer, they have this huge patio area and you can see the museums it's a really nice view! And on Wednesday they have a live band playing after 930 pm was awesome. The food was ok!

    Great view on a summet day

    Approximately 15 minute walk east from central station, a nice restaurant/cafe. Also easy reachable by boat. What i like: - even on busy days, food arrives in reasonably short time. Only three main courses and two deserts. - not too crowded on sunny days - main courses (duckbreast and hamburger) were good value for money. Deserts were disappointing... Tip: first get a table and check your table number. Then go to the bar, mention your table number and order your food and drinks and pay

    So I work on a ship, and had the better part of an afternoon to wander about Amsterdam. I'd spotted this place the same morning during my run while waiting for the swinging bridge to swing back my way. If not for the footpath over to Oosterdock / NEMO it would be fairly out of the way, but worth a visit regardless. The set up is simple, think beer garden, but the setting is terrific - alongside the busy waterway all the little boats use to head out for a cruise, and with great views of the center city and skyline. I spent an early evening hour with a Jupiler watching happy boaters bob past. The vibe is super social and the place has great energy. It may well be a gastropub but the only activity I saw was friends with beers :)

    Loved this hidden gem. It was recommended by a local person so we trekked in the rain, got lost once or twice due to construction, and finally made it to Hannekes Boom. It was a warm and cozy and charming interior. It looked like a good party space outside but it was just to cold to explore. We didn't have reservations but were seated right away. Unexplainably, we were asked to switch tables twice. One time was after we already ordered our beer. It was strange. It was clear the place was full of locals and regulars so we definitely felt a little ignored. However, the beer selection was excellent. We had quite a few different ones including some local brews. The food was also outstanding. My fish of the day fish was tender, flaky and full of flavor. Definitely lots of attention to detail. I wish we were there in the summer - it would have been nice to sit outside and watch the boats go by. Definitely a hidden gem but so worth the trek.

    This was a really nice bar to hang out in for a little while. We were visiting Amsterdam via the cruise terminal, and after our excursion we had just about two hours to ourselves. We wanted someplace within walking distance (there was a light drizzle) and I'm glad Yelp led us here! The beer list was fun with mostly Belgians on draft but a few Amsterdam beers in bottles. They have an English menu, but the bartender recommended us some appetizers of the snack menu and we enjoyed our bitterballen. The atmosphere inside was cozy and lively. I highly recommend checking this bar out.

    Yes, it's a bit out of the way (northeast of Central Station) and you have to cross several bridges to get there, but it's so worth it.

    My husband and I were walking around the De Pijp neighbourhood on a Saturday afternoon and was…read morelooking for a quick lunch. We have heard of Donnies, but have never been so thought this was a good opportunity to try it out. Food: Since we were looking for a light lunch we decided to share the large size of the Kapsalon Kip. The Kapsalon Kip has responsibly raised chicken, hot sauce, garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, jalapeños, cheese and wait for it...french fries! It's definitely big enough for two people and SO DELICIOUS! We kept saying "OMG, this is so good". Drinks: We ordered two ice teas and one beer. If you're a beer lover they have craft beers on their menu. Price: €19.35 Service: Service started out pretty slow when we arrived. No one came to us for 10 minutes and I went outside myself to get the menus off the tables there to see what to order. But once they realised we were there and took our order the service picked up. The waitress in the end was nice and friendly. Ambiance: It was pretty quiet on the Saturday afternoon we were there. The space is very nice and well done. Definitely the nicest doner kabab house I've ever been to. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu.

    OH YES!! What a treat :) finally a girl friendly junk food option .. And a very healthy one, so…read moreforget about the junk part. Great flavor, exotic add ons, craft beers and ... very hot waiters :-)) GO GO GO
