Café De Pool in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

A good bar for a few drinks, with a funny bartender. They spread good vibes. Prices are a bit high, but the service is excellent and it's right in the heart of Amsterdam.

Best hamburger of my life!! Also great music playlist

Terrible service, terrible food. Would have been 0 star if possible

I'm giving it one star because I can't give less... The service wasn't great, but the food... it's food in name only. I can proudly say I found the worst falafel in Amsterdam. Honestly, avoid it.

Great pasta and amazing service!

Considering how expensive Amsterdam is, this is a lovely spot for lunch. It's cheap and the food is just really tasty. We didn't order any drinks because there was no drinks menu.

Great little find. The bossman was really accommodating and knew his beers. Nice little red kilkenny! Cheers 🍻

Cheap food. Slightly better quality than McDonald's. Expensive drinks. A beer for €7.50, without prices listed on the menu.

Beware of this tourist trap! We ordered two Moscow Mules, and of course, there were no prices displayed at the entrance or on the menu. The cocktails were very average, and the bill came to €37. I strongly advise against going there.

I find it excessive to pay €18.50 for a very average Moscow Mule when the price isn't displayed anywhere. Perhaps because we were French? I recommend that the staff display drink prices on the menu to avoid unpleasant surprises.

A wonderful visit with our friends! Abby was fabulous with letting us selecting music and helping us to make individual cocktails to suit our needs. We will remember this night for a very long time. Thank you so much to everyone for helping us make these memories. X

Friendly service. Menu without drinks and drink prices. No kitchen. Deep-fried food. We were still full. For two 0.3l shandies (5€ each), one order of fries (5.50€), and one hot appetizer (chicken, nuggets, spring roll, croquettes, breaded cheese, and flatbread balls), we paid 26.80€.

Cozy cafe and restaurant. The hamburgers are affordable but could use more flavor.

The food was quite disappointing and small for the price, and the waiter's service was awful.

Unbelievable experience, host is the best in Amsterdam. Couldn’t recommend more.

It looks like a mediocre place, but the food is good and cheap.

Best value for money in the neighborhood. Friendly welcome, great atmosphere, and fantastic music. I recommend it to those who appreciate simple, high-quality service.

Very good staff very friendly good prices

I didn't like it much! I eat a salad with chiken but was okey

Food was amazing, staff were very helpful and informative and spoke great English

Cool little place for some lunch or snacks or maybe just some drinks. Nice atmosphere, quick and good service so only nice things to say.

Great place, great MUSIC!! The owner a 10!

Lovely food and service. Relaxing and friendly atmosphere and well priced. A hidden gem!

Very good food and decent portion for nice price. Good location too, not far from nieumarket.

Friendly staff and good burgers. Plenty of room for families too.

Great food, fantastic atmosphere, fabulous host!

Excellent!! Super attentive, fast and delicious!!

Great place. Friendly staff and good prices 👌🏼👌🏼

We came for a few drinks. The place was really nice, the staff was friendly, and the prices were good. I totally recommend it!

The service is perfect. drinks are very good and the vibe is gorgeuos.🧡

Absolutely amazing, come in as a stranger, leave as a friend of many. Very friendly indeed, well done. Oh not forgetting the food. 11/10

The location is in the center, a good place to relax, the beer is very good, the prices are competitive

Nice food. Good beers and a great atmosphere!

Great experience, bartenders are really nice 100% recommended

A very nice place, the customers were extremely friendly, and the food was delicious.

A really nice place for food and drinks with a cosy, friendly atmosphere. Reasonably priced, freshly made food, and the piña colada was the highlight!

They are very kind and good service! Thank you

One of the best pubs I’ve ever been to! The food is amazing so are the drinks! The staff were friendly and funny. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 10/10

What an amzing place! Such a friendly staff! Thankyou for this great night

We didn't eat, only drank, but the welcome was very warm, the music was good, and the waiters were very friendly (they kicked out a couple who were making out in front of the window where we were seated). I recommend it!

Tourist trap, bland and unappetizing food. The waiter got my order wrong and when I complained I was met with unpleasant remarks and looks.

Good, simple food for a fair price.

Relaxed and cozy place, English/Irish football, music, beer and good food - affordable too.

Lovely place and very welcoming 😁

Very nice, rock music just the way we like it, lovely service, finger food very good value for money

We happened to walk by this restaurant while making plans for an easy and convenient casual dinner. We decided to go in and, wow, did we find the right place for what we were looking for! Excellent food at reasonable prices, great music and outstanding customer services (awesome vibes and dialogue with Abi - he really made the dinner a real fun event for us, especially with providing us with his recommendations of food items to order, as well as with talking about the great tunes playing in the restaurant while we ate). He made our dinner a very enjoyable experience that created more positive memories for us of our stay in Amsterdam. Thanks to Abi and his colleagues for all of their efforts!

The location was perfect the staff are so friendly, . Stopped for drink nice place.

Enjoy a drink in the winter at Leidseplein! It's a beautiful Christmas atmosphere, and the bar is gorgeous!

Popped in here for something to eat and a drink after a long, long day exploring Amsterdam. The bartender was friendly. My husband had spied the TV showing football and, as there was the Ajax v. Benfica game happening that night, he hoped to watch that, only to find they were showing a different match!🤷🏻‍♀️ Ordered beers, Bitterballen, Kaassouffle and loaded fries. We did have to wait quite a while for the food to arrive, but the kitchen was teeny weeny and only one person working there. Our food was ok, but we both agreed that it wasn't a place we'd be likely to come back to.

The best bar i've ever been to. The bartender has a great music knowledge

Beer hall - pub, a bit small and average beer...

Just bought a burguer and The owner charged me 20% more and end of chat. Good good but service scams tourists , specially If paid by credit card. They should have said before, at least so I could decide If I would get It or not.

We stumbled past this place on the way to find dinner. The music was incredible, prices were incredibly reasonable and the vibes were lovely! The most memorable place we ate and drank in Amsterdam! (as a vegetarian I also greatly appreciated menu items being clearly listed)

Everything was perfect, the drinks and food were friendly, clean, and attentive. The food was excellent, congratulations!

Nice place! Good value food for the area. Staff are very friendly. Nice vibe, decor and music.

What an incredible place!! The bartender has the best recommendations, and sets the tone for an upbeat and positive vibe!! Don’t miss out at a seat at the bar.

Me and my partner came across this lovely spot on our first night in Amsterdam. The calm and warm atmosphere seemed inviting from the very busy street. Needless to say we were incredibly happy with our experience. So much so that we came back 4 more times over our 3 day trip. The gentleman, who I assume is the evening manager (sorry we didn’t catch your name) was extremely pleasant and charming. We had a moment where my partner fainted next to the cafe early one evening due to low blood sugar. As a young couple on our first ever time abroad, it was a frightening moment for the both of us. Had it not happened outside this cafe we may have been in trouble. The gentleman came out with sugar syrup water. When my girlfriend came around had us sit by the window inside so she could recover, the staff also bought us a spoon and a bottle of honey to help her. We were reassured and comforted by all the staff. We both are incredibly grateful for your help. Thank you. Besides the brilliant people working here, the food is amazing and the drinks are fantastic. Good menu, each dish we had was executed perfectly. Each drink was served exactly how you’d want it. Stop by this place and you won’t regret it. HUGE Thank you to all the staff, we will definitely be back next time.

Wow what a lovely brunch for a decent price. Right in the heart of Amsterdam you really feel apart of the atmosphere while enjoying a delicious ham & cheese omelette

Burgers were great. Service was excellent.

Tourist trap, overpriced for crap food

Abby the bartender was one of the coolest people i’ve met in Amsterdam so far! Very welcoming and great to chat with. The beer was great too👊

Very tasty food, cozy atmosphere

5.50 for what felt like 5 fries, 8€ for a thin pancake. Extortionate!

Great time, great beer and good hamburger

The staff was great. The food was great and it was just fun to be in a low-key place.

Highly recommended. Great food and service. For less than €40 I had dinner with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed a beer. Excellent quality for the price. Will definitely come back.

Recommend great vibes, greay good and great beer.

Absolutely amazing service and great food, love the beer.

Very friendly staff, good night out, open laye

I had such an incredible time here! It’s my first time in Amsterdam and the bartender was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and kind! The energy of the bar was also really fun and I loved the atmosphere and music! He recommend me delicious drinks and helped make my first night in Amsterdam incredible 🫶🏼

Better not... Ordered a burger and fries. The burger with supermarket cheese costs €1.10, but it's not listed on the menu. Drink prices aren't listed on the menu either. Guinness was €8.50. The fries with cheese were returned. When I paid, he asked if I liked them. When I told him I didn't, he wasn't interested. I think locals don't shop here.

Lovely music,good food and nice people !! Overal 5/5. Price depends on what u want to eat and how mich i want to eat

Unbelievable burger. Flipping good!!!’

Great bar, bar guy is great craic, makes a wicked caipirinha!

The burger was too good to miss – perfectly cooked and full of flavour. And the beers? Even better! Ice-cold, refreshing, and the perfect pairing with the meal. Highly recommend if you’re after great food, great drinks, and a spot you’ll definitely come back to.

Amazing food. Gyro was so tasty and burger was perfect. Proper Guinness pint and music. Service fantastic.

Good burgers, good price. Excellent place for quick stop.

Abdullah is a nice guy. It was fun talking to him. Enjoyed the time here for the drinks. Recommend.

Best whiskey sour and Guinness in Holland

Best place I’ve ever been. Nice atmosphere, good music and great staff. Try the licor 43 with milk. Trust me it’s good. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!

Abi was incredible!!!! Great conversation & good drinks! Thank you!

A bar with a rather pleasant atmosphere, but avoid the food! Supplements are offered and charged without being informed of the price or even indicated on the menu. Servers use language barriers to serve unwanted and similar dishes in order to charge more. Dishes are served in two batches. Food is taken from the freezer, and burgers contain only a reconstituted beef patty. Avoid

Very good atmosphere to be in a group. The live music of 10.

Horrible. Disgusting restrooms. Extra sauce, extra cheese... Drink prices not displayed, then surprise... Total lack of hygiene.

Very nice place right in the city center. The food isn't anything special or overly elaborate, but it's still tasty. The beer is phenomenal! As for the service: always attentive and attentive, I recommend it for a quick stop.

Tuvimos una noche increíble aquí! Gran menú de bebidas. No tenía comida, pero lo vi venir de la cocina y se veía muy bien. El personal era muy amable también.

Vine para una cena rápida y una copa con mi familia. El personal era amable y acogedor, incluso hizo de mi hija un cóctel personalizado. La comida era excelente y IT tenía un ambiente agradable con buena música. P.D. Sigo prefiriendo Heineken antes que Groslch (lo siento).

Not a recommendation. The waiter was obviously forced to work. Not a smile, not very motivated. Everything above 2,5m was very dusty. Especially the ventilators are covered in dust and blow it through the room. The napkins were already dirty at the edges. The restroom is very narrow, the soap was empty. The dishes were okay. Prices for Amsterdam are reasonable.

After many years of enjoying these delicious, affordable burgers with our kids, we ended up here again today by chance. Delicious burgers, fries, falafel, fast, friendly - top 👍🏻

Super delicious food, friendly and fast service 😃 will come again.

Quickly prepared, piping hot and very tasty! Great service too!

Absolutely excellent burgers. Cannot fault service or food. I was my wish we’d found this place sooner. Prices are very good value and staff are polite and very good at their job. Recommended 100%

The food was ok, the toilets were disgusting.

Lovely place we like the service and the quality of the beer 🍺 Tasteful burgers 🍔

Best cocktails in Amsterdam!! The bartenders are a vibe and very attentive and friendly! Will definitely come back again.

Stopped here for breakfast and food and service were great. Food arrived quickly and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Prices are a lot cheaper than most of Amsterdam but it as good as anywhere else and breakfast was fresh and filling

ignoring customer, no prices on the menu

What a burger place. Great location and food. Awesome people.

This it's amazing place and kitchen in the world

It is a really nice atmosphere, you can find everything, personal is amazing with perfect mood 🍀👍🏼which permeates the entire cafe💚🌈
