Cafe Corso in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

A bit pricey but good atmosphere

I loved the Latin music at the venue

Asked if I wanted a pint. I said 'yes'. The glass was way short of a pint glass. For 8 euros incredible rip off.

It's a great pub, I went on Saturday.

The bald bartender was super cool! We became really good friends. Super friendly, great music, great atmosphere! It ended up becoming our go-to spot for hanging out with my friends.

Cool place , lots going on here.

Beer is great. Location is great. If the WC was in better condition for Miloš & if you broadcast the Euroleague finals then 5/5

One of the people who worked there was very drunk. He kicked us out for no reason and the barman didn’t agree with him. The barman wanted us to stay, because he recognised that his colleague (I think the owner) wanted to throw us out due to something he THOUGHT he saw, which didn’t happen. So the SOBER barman took our side but the DRUNK owner threw us out anyway. They were fighting about it for some reason. Very strange. But the owner was extremely rude to us. Don’t go here; they have completely forgot the classic Amsterdam ambiance. Terrible.

Dreadful experience, gents toilet was a disgrace. We sat at the side of the bar and watched owner/manager constantly use his hands to add ice to glasses. Overall there was a really bad feeling of poor hygiene. I would not recommend going anywhere near this place.

Fantastic café with friendly staff. Highly recommended.

What a lovely pub this is! Host Eric is fun, talks non-stop, and knows how to create a great atmosphere. We were there during the day on a weekday and it was quiet, but we still hung around for a few hours. We'll be grabbing a few beers there again soon!

Excellent service!! We really enjoyed it, the only problem was they closed at 1am that day!! Good music, great service, and they even gave us two free cinnamon shots!!

Just stoped here for a drink. Lovely little bar with a nice atmosphere and really friendly staff right in the heart of the Red Light District

A regular stop when we're in Amsterdam!

Staff amazing so friendly, and drinks reasonable price, we left and came back because the other bars didn’t compare. Music - fire, bar tender - fire, prices on point👌🏻

Do not believe the poor reviews. Take things into consideration. This is a lovely bar situated on a nice canal. Superb interior, nice music. We came in at 1pm. They may not accept large groups but cant blame them.

Excellent, waa our last night in amstwrdam played all kind of music, even latin music!

The service leaves much to be desired; the waiter is completely drunk, drinks more than the customer, serves ice cubes with his hands, and washes glasses by dipping them for three seconds in a sink full of water… a shame because the location and atmosphere could be nice.

It seemed a bit expensive; cola, water, and beer cost 17 euros.

Very nice spot to have a good refresh Beer 👍👍

Got kicked out by the drunk owner for no reason….

Had a drink here, brilliant service, great music.

incredibly expensive drinks (€10 for half a litre) & extremely unfriendly and sexist staff!

Great place to have an adult beverage, watch sports, all with 1970s Eurovision song contest soundtrack and a disco ball! Surreal.... Great fun and highly recommended.

I went on the 23rd of December to have a drink with my family, kids included, after visiting the Christmas market. When I entered I was received with the phrase “go somewhere else you are a thief”, because I had the cups from the christmas market. After that I could not believe I was being called a thief without even questioning why I had the cups. the true is I payed for the cups I was holding (they were empty). terrible service and terrible truly terrible person the one that was in charge. Calling me a thief in front of the whole bar and my family. I do not recommend going there, if you have this values you do not deserve your business to success. I really hope you get the consequences of being an awful person.

Nice bar with a good selection of beers right next to the red-light district De Wallen.

A really nice bar with a good atmosphere, I'll definitely go back. The beer is great, a little more expensive, but the place is great.

Nice bar, but it doesn’t have many draft beer options, and the bartender isn’t particularly friendly or helpful.

It's just that I have to give at least one star otherwise they wouldn't get one.

Nice and quaint. Expensive. Toilets in terrible condition.

We happened upon this bar in the heart of Amsterdam by chance. It's pleasant, with good music and a great atmosphere. But we must highlight the friendliness of the staff. From the moment they realized we were Spanish, they played songs in Spanish, clearly referencing us and doing their part to make us feel comfortable and at home. They did the same every day we went for a drink. Thank you!

Great bar in the hear of Amsterdam. Smoking permitted.

Impeccable service, great atmosphere, owner takes great care of his customers (he doesn't hesitate to refill the round). Excellent music.

Best bar, most relaxed atmosphere in Amsterdam city center.

Everything is ok. Fast. They give change :) To the smallest detail. We didn't take any food.

We had a fantastic evening last night! Made possible by Cafe Corso. The only minor complaint about the service was that the nice bartender didn't give us his phone number. See you next time! xxx The ladies from Drenthe

I wouldn't give it a star if that were possible. The bartender looked at me three times and ignored me. I couldn't place my order. He just walked away. A customer next to me threw ice cubes into his Coke with his fingers, just disgusting. I just walked out. They don't need it.

Owner is extremely rude and insecure

What an atmosphere! I know where I'll be going from now on when I visit the Red Light District!!

Friendly bartenders with Amsterdam humor, sitting outside or inside, sports matches can be followed.

Grumbly old bartender told us to *expletive* off after not ordering drinks within 0.005 seconds of entering and daring to use card

The old bartender was grumbly and unfriendly about daring to pay by card and we decided to leave after the 1st drink due to the bad atmosphere, when he swore at us as we left. Terrible service, go literally anywhere else

Nice atmosphere and draft beer for 4 euros. Relatively inexpensive for Amsterdam. Bar operation. Not a restaurant.

I first discovered this wonderful bar back in 1972. For the next thirty years it was my go too watering hole when in Amsterdam, which was often. My sister actually lived in the north of the city. I remember the days when Jappi and Hans ran the place. Some fantastic nights there drinking with people from many different lands And then there was James a giant of a man behind the bar. Unfortunately it has been twenty years since I visited that beautiful city. I no longer travel abroad because of age and health issues. But this bar remains my favourite of all the bars I have visited from San Francisco to New York, from Paris to Istanbul, from Stockholm to Athens. Long may it remain. 🍺😀

Average pub, Self service, pre-prepared Coctails. Fast service and Has toilet. Just it. Barmen and guys are really sad face and angry to all people. Dirty tables.

A good place and happy and nice staff.

Wonderful bar, great mix of classic tunes, friendly service and a good atmosphere. Well located in the heart of the red light district

It’s a nice cozy bar with a good variety of drinks, but there were a couple of issues. The gin was served in a glass that had a weird smell, like it hadn’t been washed properly or wiped with a dirty cloth. Also, the indoor seating is really compact and uncomfortable, with wobbly stools that made it hard to relax. It has potential, but these things definitely need attention.

Enough space at this cafe. You can watch football there and it has a special interior that makes it quirky and fun. Ruin range of drinks only no hot drinks available. Beautiful bar. Greetings, Architecture Wall

Great bar. Just need to stop playing the same song on repeat 😂

Nice pub in Amsterdam with good music 🎵 and beer 🍺

Good atmosphere in the evening to enjoy in the red light district! Pub atmosphere to watch sports on TV and be in the heart of the city The beers remain expensive: €7 for a 33cl

The host was very hospitable to football/guest fans!

When I first entered the place, they said 5eur for the beer and then they said 8eur, I said it wrong. Don't go. Their services are not good for tourists

Nice little bar on edge of red light district. Busy place. Feels like a proper pub.The barmen we had were good but they just charge what they want. Of the four time's we ordered it was 3 different prices 🙈 A lot of different nationalitys.

I don’t understand the bad reviews because the music here was banginnn, and the bartender that served us was so nice. if you like hip-hop, go grab a couple drinks here.

Very nice and at a good price on the corner of the red light district

Great location, however rude individual behind the bar. Might have been a one off! Will have to go back to see if it was just a one off.

Amazing old crazy stuff... Old is good, nice place to drink beer and after that to visit some ladies nearby...

Me and my mates went in and all but one of us got pints. He kicked out the guy who didn’t order and he wasn’t even busy. Twat

Tables weren't cleaned properly. All but one of us got a drink and the owner rudely insisted that this person get a drink or wait outside. Not customer friendly, you'll be better off elsewhere

For me personally the nicest café in Amsterdam!!

So there no sympathy a 7 year old child refused for the toilets do not recommend

Such a shame for this pub as it is located in a very prominent location in the Red Light District but a member of staff who clearly needs to work on himself is utterly rude and aggressive with paying customers. Regrettably, not visiting ever again.

Very unfriendly, we are 4 adults who wanted to drink a beer and a 9 year old child with fries. Because of the fries, we were rudely sent away from a table outside that was completely empty in a very unfriendly manner. The shop owner could also have spoken to us in a friendly manner. We won't go here again, not even without a child.

We were traveling for 3 days and we spent the nights there to relax with some good beers.... And a very good atmosphere..... Good music... Sports.... And very good service!!!!!

A cosy cafe located at the corner of one of streets of red light district in amsterdam. Good drinks available which you can enjoy inside or on one of the tables outside by the canal. No food is served here.

Excellent service and very good atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. :)

Great atmosphere, thanks for drink

Very cozy cafe with nice music. Nice crowd with people from the neighborhood and also tourists. Bartenders Arend and Mario are great!

Bar staff are very pleasant and the atmosphere is really a big 10! Definitely come back here.

Ugh, not very friendly bartender...and very expensive beer! Go on your way...

Very welcoming place in Amsterdam, as is Marinus, a very kind and nice gentleman. Spectacular music! I recommend this place to everyone! 🥰

Good beers, great variety, great music, the music creates a very good atmosphere

The best place in the world 🌎. Extraordinary waiters.

Very friendly place, good music!

This is a nice little bar in Central Amsterdam. Friendly, the locals will chat to you and the bar staff are always friendly. The music was great.

Drinks at €12.50, beers at €8.50. Good atmosphere, everything was going well until we saw how they “washed” the glasses. 🤮🤮🤮 a splash of water with the pressurized water from the beer bar and that's it.

Gezellig biertje en Shotjes gedaan.. Leuke mannen achter de bar.

Very nice owner and great service.

Good spot for a beer and people watching. Right in the heart of the trees light district. Enough said ;)

De gasten die hebben het er zelf na gemaakt met hun onbeleefd zijn daarom geven ze slechte review

Ik hou van deze kroeg. Het is zoals een bar op de wallen moet zijn. Heerlijk personeel en een prima plek waar je ook buiten kan zitten... Ik raad deze kroeg absoluut aan...

A nice bar. Very touristic though. It didn't feel like Dutch

Cherchant à échapper à l'orage en fin d'après-midi, je cherchais un endroit sympa pour boire une bière. Je n'ai pas été déçu, le service était top avec une ambiance posée blues rock (fin d'après-midi en semaine). J'ai beaucoup aimé ce bar.

Meine Lieblingsbar! Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal! 👌🏻 Sehr zu empfehlen!

very nice place and good beer 👍

Haben dort zwei mal ein paar Drinks gehabt und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Jungs dort, haben Spass bei der Arbeit und der Laden ist modern und angenehm eingerichtet. Wir würden das Café Corso wieder besuchen.

Great bar I always come here first thing for a refreshing beverage… friendly down to earth and nice views of the Red Light District

Staff were excellent. Good place for a drink.

Mario de rammer altijd gezellig rdsdmmjkf

Bom ambiente. Barman muito simpático. Boa musica. Anos 80. Volto de certeza.

Beautiful bar and perfect hospitality. Recommended.

Jolie endroit serveur tres cool bonne biere

Absolutely the best bar in Amsterdam! Amazing beers and the playlist is what I was looking for.

Still sat in here, could stay all night, great vibe, good music,good beer. Worth it.

Top bar met vriendelijke uitbater. Lekkere belgische bieren zoals duvel. Zeker een aanrader. Hier zien jullie me nog terug

Classic bar in the Red Light District. Usually screens sports. Good place to grab a quick drink

Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s in the so called touristy area. Highly recommend you go and check it out yourself. You’ll end up meeting people from all over the world. The staff/owner are awesome people.

Warm welcome, great atmosphere, friendly staff, always pop in for a pint or 2 when in Amsterdam
