Billiards Cafe Hermes in Oude Pijp

No Heineken on tap Now only open 5 days per week ( Monday and Tuesday closed) so now it's a part time cafe. They must be making so much money they don't need any more. Service can be pretty dreadful. Beer quantity is 20% less when the owner is working, profiteering from lots of foam. Gents toilet stinks. The photo is the best view of the owner. Now open at 16.00 every day except Monday and Tuesday when it's still closed.

A really cozy pub! Anyone who wants a fun evening should stop by here. Bea is a star.

Super cozy cafe with equally cozy staff! Henry

Truly the absolute coziest café to celebrate your birthday! Yesterday, I celebrated our 30th birthdays here with my best friend. We were taken care of in every way, and the owner helped us tremendously to make it a real party. No fuss or overhyped drinks. A café just the way I like to see them in the city: cozy, friendly, and straight to the point! We were treated as if we had been coming here for years. Hermes, thank you for this unforgettable evening! <3

Super cozy pub in Amsterdam. When you walk in, you feel right at home immediately. Pure coziness. If you want to play shuffleboard or other fun games, come here!

As a born and raised “amsterdammer”, this is what you want as a cafe in amsterdam. I moved back after 3 years. this is what keeps our culture :))

Had a fantastic evening, great café!

Yesterday, I held my party at Café Hermes, an authentic Amsterdam brown pub on the Ceintuurbaan in De Pijp. Upon arrival, landlady Bea greeted me warmly and said it would be a fantastic evening; and so it was. With her big heart and genuine sense of human relations, Bea created the foundations upon which my party could build and become a success. The warm and decorative interior, the cozy music, and the house cheese and sausage formed the ideal backdrop. There is ample space to stand both inside and outside. I highly recommend visiting this pub, and certainly for celebrating your birthday. Café Hermes, simply amazing.

Super nice barmaid who really loves her job. It's her own little café, and very nicely decorated; it creates a lovely, cozy, brown atmosphere. The rugs on the tables are especially nice to see.

Great place! Service was excellent.

Great vibes - perfect for a beer and sjoelen

The best bar in De Pijp!! Most amazing owner

Super cozy cafe! Bea is the best!

Bea is a hostess through and through with the biggest heart 😘

Pub definetly have the soul. Unique stylish based on? I dont know exactly what but photos get a real murder climate :D Definetley worth to try for a shot of gin or quick beer.

A really cozy pub with fantastic service. They serve delicious drinks and snacks, and there are fun games to play together. Absolutely fantastic!

Great traditional pub! Perfect if you want to play a game while enjoying a beer. The bar is run by a lovely, friendly Amsterdammer!

Say Amsterdam, and you say: Café Hermes! ❤️ A warm, welcoming place where everyone feels at home, where friendships are born, and where you can always find a smile, a good conversation, and a delicious glass of wine!

Lovely traditional pub. Sweet lady behind the bar. Delicious beer on tap.

Super nice and cozy café! The owner was really polite and friendly. Such an easygoing place to grab a beer! 😇

Fantastic place, lovely barmaid, very nice place to come ♥️

Always a pleasant experience at Cafe Hermes. A lovely neighborhood pub where you're always welcomed with open arms. The owner is a real sweetheart. She really makes you feel welcome.

Fantastic traditional pub where you can play lots of games. The hostess is incredibly welcoming. We had a really great evening with delicious beers and a great atmosphere!

Great place! November 27th games night. We had a blast.

A café with that old-world Amsterdam soul! Cozy atmosphere, friendly bartenders, and always time for a chat. Perfect for a beer or a delicious cup of coffee. Highly recommended!

This unique 1970s café, with its Persian rugs and old-fashioned rarities, and its 3 lovely ladies behind the bar, will make your day out a special experience.

Great Amsterdam cafe We don't want to miss this in the city.

The most authentic cafe in Amsterdam!

Café Hermes is the best café in Amsterdam. I've been going there for almost 10 years. It feels like coming home to Bee & Bar ❤️

A very cozy Amsterdam café. Nothing is required, but anything is possible. Highly recommended.

Great shots, shuffleboard, good atmosphere. Everyone is welcome. Great cafe, truly Amsterdam.

The nicest cafe in Amsterdam, in my opinion, with fantastic staff and customers. It's always a pleasant atmosphere here!

Great place where anything is possible!! What a fantastic bartender Bea is! This place bears her hallmark!! Wonderful place, everyone is truly welcome here!!! I love coming here 👍👌

Part of our cultural heritage. With the sweetest bartender in town. I'd love to give it a 10, but that's not possible.

The perfect pub in Amsterdam. Always cozy and friendly staff! I always recommend chatting with the owner, Bea, who's a real ray of sunshine. Shuffleboard, slot machines, a pool table—you name it, it's all there. Enjoy the wonderful Amsterdam atmosphere, whether you're sitting at the bar or relaxing with your own group at a table. They organize plenty of events worth attending, including karaoke, drinks, pub quizzes, and more.

Amazing bar, feels like you are at home

You won't find a more unique and cozy cafe in the South than Cafe Hermes.

A kind of Amsterdam brown café.

It’s great that places like this still exist!

Great place! Cafeteria lady Bea is fantastic. A sweet woman with a passion for the business. Definitely worth a visit!

Great place! Friendly staff, just plain fun! Just like old times.

This café deserves to be listed as a monument with all its furnishings. Persian rug on the tables. Great. Don't change a thing! Sweet team.

Top business 👍👌 With the best barmaid Bea !! Cosiness is paramount here !!

Celebrated birthday. Well organized and had a nice evening!

It was a quick stop for a beer. I had two. Friendly atmosphere.

Pleasantly messy, just like a brown pub should be

Authentic brown café, friendly service, fresh pints. Top pub. I'll definitely be back. Greetings from anrwerpen

Super vibey cafe with free games in the back. Bea welcomed us with open arms and made our great night even better.

Beautiful authentic billiard cafe, like you don't know anymore!!

Had another very nice evening. Always fantastic here. There is a shuffleboard tournament every month! Really worth it! All love to Bea❤️!

What a place! You won't find them like this in Amsterdam anymore

Celebrated Christmas for the third time at cafe Hermes, absolutely fantastic. Bea is a great hostess. Played games and billiards.

Great service from super sweet ladies! Had a wonderful evening. A really cozy place!

A lot of fun from the woman with the red hair behind the bar.

Super cozy atmosphere and a very sweet lady behind the bar. Super nicely decorated, you'll never be bored. There are beautiful attributes everywhere, you never get bored.

Always pleasant in this authentic Amsterdam café. The service is warm and personal. Games can be played (including shuffleboard).

Very cozy, tasty Amsterdam, nice people, for a great evening you should go to Café Hermes...

Gem in the Pijp! Wonderfully disorganized Amsterdam old brown.

Great bar with a very attentive owner. Often been there at different times and always so nice! “Gezelligheid” as they say here!

Amazing café. One of the only cafés in de Pijp that captures the true old Dutch cafés. Friendly service, the “Amsterdammer” way. Really recommended for both locals as tourists. Tip: order the “gehaktbal” (meatball), truly Dutch, fresh from the Butcher across the street.

We made a small stop here, with some drinks and a small snack. Friendly and fast service with excellent prices. Top.

Great Amsterdam cafe good quality service and atmosphere!

The best bar in Amsterdam You can take out the bitterbal from the shop across and eat here. They got the best atmosphere, alcohols are cheap, and very local cozy vibe. Lovely

Got lit here a few years ago and met Alan from Scotland. Cool dive. See ya soon!!!

I love this place, so cozy and traditional!

Just an honest, cozy brown café with a fantastic terrace!

Cool place with lots of games good music

Great place and full of games and fun

Super cozy, nicest cafe in the pipe!

Very nice and cozy bar, where you can really experience the atmosphere of yesteryear... highly recommended

We enjoyed it very much. The owner / bartender was very courteous and friendly and has given herself a lot of effort despite the language barrier. The prices are very good and the ambience is also cool! I would recommend anyone to stop by.

Geweldig bruin Café in hartje van de Pijp! !! Bea is een topper

Genoten op het terras . Ik was er al een keer geweest en ze wisten nog precies wat ik dronk !!! Dat is pas service .Warm en gezellig . Waar is het feestje , daar is het feestje . Love it .

Super gezellig café met een gezellige eigenaresse. Leuk om een middag/avond spelletjes te doen.

Top tent. Ouderwetse sfeer en puur mokumse gastvrijheid.

Als connaisseur de café kan ik zeggen dat dit een echt authentieke tent is met echte gezellige mensen. Een oprechte buurtkroeg waar je die kopstoot met liefde incasseert!

This is the greatest bar I’ve ever been to. The service is awesome, the vibe is great, and the selection of games is beyond fantastic! I would advise it to anybody; going to take my family there next week, honestly the most authentic and enjoyable location I’ve ever been to, if you’re ever in Amsterdam, go here for a secured good time that emulates the beautiful nature of the Netherlands whilst also being emblematic of the word: ‘gezellig’. It exudes not only a good time, but a safe place to be, couldn’t have anything better to say; come to Cafe Hermes!!

Best cafe in Amsterdam!!! Traditional Sjoel-games and good people always.

Nice staff and the place is very Dutch 😉

Gezellig écht Amsterdams café, waarbij je jezelf meteen thuis voelt.

Top kroeg, altijd gezellig en leuke mensen!

Erg gezellige kroeg. Leuk publiek en aardige staff. Nooit een saaie avond!

Hier snappen ze nog dat er 100 cent in een euro zit. Gezellige authentieke tent, barpersoneel met een gezonde pomp humor. Ik mag er graag komen

Heerlijk café, Amstel(r)dam op z’n best 👍🏼

Hermes. Het is geen wonder dat dit toevluchtsoord dezelfde naam draagt als de Griekse God van de gastvrijheid, de reizigers, de wegen en de dromen. In hartje De Pijp is – geheel tegen de stroom in – een baken van authenticiteit te bezoeken. Conform het ethos van zowel de Godheid Hermes als de Goedheid Bea is iedereen welkom. En dit voel je. Hoewel het als ervaring an sich met geen pen te beschrijven is, zal ik toch een poging wagen om het café te duiden; al is het maar om mijn hoge beoordeling te onderbouwen. Binnen zijn er allerhande spellen te beleven die neigen naar een harmonieuze uitwerking onder de aanwezigen. Aan de bar kan men van vers Amstel bier genieten. Zoals een waardig bruin café betaamd is het niet onwaarschijnlijk dat hier een blokje kaas of een plakje worst bij wordt geserveerd. Buiten kan men in alle rust en hopelijk ook zon het roerige Amsterdamse straatleven aanschouwen. Dat dit café enkele jaren geleden haar beëindiging heeft weten tegen te gaan is een zegen. In eerste instantie zal men denken dat dit haast wel het werk moet zijn van een Goddelijke interventie, maar bij nadere beschouwing zal men moeten erkennen dat de eer moet gaan naar de volharding van Bea en haar vaste gasten.

Erg leuke kroeg met heerlijk Amstelbier van de tap

Leuke tent. Spelletjes binnen terrace buiten. Biljart jammergenoeg niet relevant. Was bedekt met twee spoelbakken erop en zowiezo niet genoeg ruimte. Sjoelen is ook leuk en oer Hollands. Toen ik er was liepen er 2 ongelooflijk irritante donker gekleurde enters steeds naar binnen en buiten zonder consumptie. De bar-persoon loste dat vrij goed op. Dom volk. Ik had medelijden met de situatie.

Ouderwets gezellige kroeg zonder pretenties. Een aanrader!

Het beste cafe van Amsterdam, voor echte Amsterdammers maar ook voor iedereen die langs komt

Fate brought us to this bar and we we're blown alway.... The decoration is next-level - a diverse collection of retro dutch items. The vibe is welcoming and they have lots of fun games to play. We played 'sjoelen' and Jenga with extra big blocks. Bea (the owner) was running the place by herself on a Thursday and she's a wonderful host :)

Very nice pub with friendly staff

When you look for something typical Dutch/ Amstedam in the Pijp area.

voor een lekker biertje bij Bea relax

De eigenaresse Bea is een hardwerkende vakvrouw. Ik heb heel veel bewondering en respect voor haar

Toptent voor een goed feestje en lekker Amsterdams gesprek. AJAX is de beste!!

Cozy bar with a set of amazing beers and friendly staff!
