    I found this place when out with a group of 3 other friends. Food was super tasty and the drinks were perfect. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Busy enough to be lively but quiet enough we could still have a conversation. One of our friends had some minor medical issues (fainting, weakness) while we were there. After clarifying with the staff his issues were not due to intoxication, they were super nice and accommodating. Definitely will return on a future trip.

    It took a while to be served due to them being seemingly understaffed, but the wait was worth it. Delicious food! We also had some beers that were great as well. It's a popular spot for locals and tourists, and they have a great selection of both meat and vegetarian/vegan options, as well as an extensive beer and wine list. Highly recommend this spot!

    Love this place! Convenient location near dam square, where I was staying. I also bought a Black Dog sweatshirt to take home to the US. Great customer service and food. I will definitely come back and highly recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam!

    Fantastic spot! Stopped in at the bar one night, then came the next day for Sunday Roast! Great atmosphere, cool people, and excellent friendly service! The roast was perfect, and the drinks are amazing!!

    The Black Dog is a really cool bar/restaurant that my friends and I randomly stumbled into while exploring Amsterdam. Upon walking inside, we were greeted by extremely friendly service and warm hospitality. I believe this bar is somewhat new, but the vibes were perfect for what we were looking for. We grabbed a table by the bar for a quick drink and snack. A cold beer was all I needed, and I decided to order the Brouwerij 'T IJ IPA. After talking to who I believe to be the owner, we also decided to try their beef chimichurri skewers, which were very flavorful and delicious. Overall, our experience at The Black Dog far exceeded expectations. Between the service, food, menu options, and atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area.

    Very cool pub with excellent bartenders. Good food and the perfect spot to close out a night of city wandering with a pint and a sandwich.

    Ron Gastrobar Downtown was our first real dinner on our recent trip to Amsterdam. My friend is the…read moreone that discovered this restaurant and made the reservations ahead of time, and from the pictures, it looked like a fun place to eat. I was excited. From research, it seems as though Amsterdam is known for having some good Indonesian food, so that was something we made a priority of trying while we were there. Though somewhat pricey, the entertainment, decor, and food here definitely exceeded our expectations. To eat, we had already decided to order the rijsttafel (rice table), which is essentially a variety of small Indonesian dishes. In total, I believe there were about 15 that we were comfortably able to share and enjoy. In addition, we ordered a few street food appetizers, which included the black angus tartare, tacos, and albacore tuna tartare. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the street food appetizers, which were presented very uniquely. While I'm glad we tried the rijsttafel for the authentic experience, there were only a few dishes from it that I really enjoyed. Still, I'd recommend ordering it for the experience. It was pretty cool to try so many Indonesian specialties in one meal. If looking for a fun restaurant to dine at in central Amsterdam, Ron Gastrobar is an option you should heavily consider. The ambiance and atmosphere are unrivaled, and you are bound to have a great time. The live performances are very enjoyable. Service was also very accommodating and friendly, and the drinks were superb. Go ahead and check this place out!

    Six of us came in for dinner on a Wednesday night and it was bumpin'. I made a reservation. We…read moreapproached the restaurant and the line was out the door. We were all waiting for an elevator to the top floor, which was the restaurant. When we got to the top, no one was there but we eventually found someone to show us our table. The sun was a bit bright because it is already summer but it was a beautiful view as it set. We took every recommendation our waiter gave. We started with cocktails from the small menu and tuna tartar and oysters (with apple, green pepper and ginger dressing). I never eat oysters but I loved these. When it was time for the main food, I told our waiter we were interested in the rijstafel. He recommended that we get rijstafel for four and supplement it with the sea bass. Upon further inspection of the menu, we did that, plus the chicken sate, beef sate and wagyu sate. Everything was amazing. There are a couple of entertainment pieces that come with the meal. Mr. Spicy comes around in a red dinner jacket and asks if you want mild, medium or spicy sauce with your meal. We wanted to try one of each. Later on, Mr. Downtown with the cat head came by for a photo. He never put down his glass. In all, the meal was delicious and the cocktails were unique. I look forward to the next experience here.
