Cafe Gollem Amstelstraat in Grachtengordel-Zuid

The atmosphere was good. There was a wide selection of beers. You had to get your own drinks at the bar; there was no table service, strangely enough, despite it being a small restaurant. There was an error on the bill, but it was corrected after being pointed out.

I have been coming here for years. They have amazing beers and a huge selection of them that rotate weekly. The place has a great vibe and plenty of seating and space for groups as well. Service is never great with bar staff being rude or offended if you even ask a question about their selection. It’s almost like they aren’t getting paid. Still the beer is good enough to return even if ordering is a sour experience.

If you fancy trying a craft beer bar ,this is the place. It is covered walls to ceiling with bottles and cans ,not forgetting the range of handbills on the bar.

Outstanding selection, excellent advice and help from the man behind the bar. Come here if you like beer

Great vibe in here with some excellent drink choices. Service was good, though a bit slow at times

Great range of beers on tap and bottles

Great vibe in here with some excellent drink choices.

Amazing breakfast and a nice little cafe vibe.

Awesome!! An endless beer list with a great atmosphere and a super nice place. The waiters were super friendly. Highly recommended!!

Great beers! Not all we tried was out taste but good recommendations and the service was amazong We could give it a small taste test before ordering Some amazong beers really

This bar has a great atmosphere. Dipping cheese in sweet date syrup was a new experience and it was delicious. The beer was great, and the staff were very friendly and nice.

It was a relaxing space. I ordered a Brouwerij 't Ij and a Brewdog. I remember the flavor being rich. But overall, it was a fleeting memory. Looking at the coaster, I was reminded of the luxurious time I spend each day. If I could turn a hazy memory into a vivid one, perhaps I too am the bartender of my own life. What is certain is that I am the bartender whose words and attitude are about to emerge.

Lots of different beers and a relaxed atmosphere.

it was warm enough to sit outside

This place (and the other location we visited in A'dam) is a paradise for beer lovers - not necessarily for beer drinkers - with an amazing beer list on tap or otherwise. The staff is fun and helpful in a playful manner. Start with something you like as a starting point for your journey, then let the staff make picks for you. Get ready for a journey into the world of serious beers!

Great selection of kraft beers with unique flavors

Classical beer bar. Quite internationaliriented

Huge selection of decent beer. Truly something for everyone. Blows the door off

A perfect selection of craft beers from around the world. A top bartender who knows his stuff. An absolute must for beer lovers in Amsterdam!

Nice bar to drink beer. The list of draught beer is Huge !

A cozy pub with about a dozen beers on tap and hundreds of bottles. Ask the owner for a "Kopstootje." He'll be happy to take your expert order and advise you!

Great selection of beers on tap and even more in bottles and cans. The Gollem IPA was delicious.

What a fabulous craft beer bar! Friendly, knowledgeable bartender and a great selection of craft beers

Brilliant place for a variety of Craft beer. So much to choose from and friendly staff and atmosphere

We found this place by accident when visiting Amsterdam and were so happy we did. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable and the selection was beyond vast. My personal favourite was a Limoncello sour that I wish I could buy at home!

Not a very big place but cozy and original, with a good atmosphere and a multitude of different beers, I think all craft. We tried the sweet cherry and the peach and they were spectacular. And with the friendliest waiter in Amsterdam! In short: if you want to try different beers at a good price in a cool place where you will be treated wonderfully, you won't be disappointed.

A lovely traditional 'brown cafe' just off Waterlooplein serving a vast selection of beers. Very chilled and quiet whilst there but I expect it will fill up and be a lively hangout in the evening and weekends. Not one for the tourists but if you want a proper taste of the "bruin cafe" atmosphere you'll be very pleased.

It was weirdly empty for the location and the list of beers. I enjoyed the silence

Wonderful! A craft beer-lover's mecca. Friendly staff. Great variety. Several gluten- free beers on bottles (none on tap). Super cozy atmosphere. Really nicely located.

Great place for any beer lover. There is something for everyone as they always have at least 30 beers on tap and many more bottled beers. The only thing missing was proper food as they only serve snacks and some toast. This is a big miss as some nice and tasty fingerfood such as wings would pair well with their extensive beer menu. The place is pretty small and fills up quickly, so be mindful when going with big groups.

Very wide variety of craft beer and very cozy atmosphere

Can get crowded with students at times, but great selection of craft beers.

Lots of beers in a beautiful place

We had 2 beers at the place. The barman said it will be €23 (which is expensive enough but fine) and then charged 38 on the terminal, purposely not showing us the terminal. Unfortunately i didnt check as i am the first time facing this. Total scam.

A very nice place to have a good beer among a lot of variety!! Simple, small and very good. Advisable

Cozy with nice selection of beers especially IPA

Best place for good beer.close to rembrandt.just watch the stairs to the toilet.

Drinks were delicious, interior was cozy, and the bartender (Blake) was incredibly helpful and pleasant.

One of the best pubs in Amsterdam, with over 30 options on tap and countless bottles! Very good service!

Cozy bar with lots of variety of beers and selection of games to play

A small-scale specialty beer cafe with many types of beer on tap. The cheese board is highly recommended.

Apart from the wide selection, a very bad experience. The bartender doesn't know what hospitality means. An average snack bar has more atmosphere. Disinterested service.

Amazing selection of beer with very knowledgeable staff that are passionate on what they are serving! Absolute gem of a find

ITS THE GOAT FOR BEER LOVERS❤️ love Chris or Kris….. who knows!!!!!!!!

Very nice and not expensive place. Gollem Blond on tap is very good for just a few euros.

Such an awesome place to have some Cool beers on tap or cans or pints, absolutely loved it, tried the Sunshine indoors(mango with saffron) beer, you gotta try it, Rick is the man, he is absolutely a great bartender & his recommendations are worth it.

These guys had an Amazing selection of beers from small breweries. Me and Mike sampled a few. We had a coffee beer at the end which was REALLY nice. My fave was the IPA.....it was gorgeous !!!

Friendly bar. Stopped by for a drink alone (work trip) and didn’t feel out of place or unwelcome…in fact felt like I’d stumbled on a local spot (vs all the crowded and noisy touristy places nearby). It was easy to get a drink - the bartender kindly made a good recommendation.

All of the Gollem's are worthy of a stop for tasty brews with friendly knowledgeable barkeeps.

Cafe Gollem has an amazing beer selection, deserving of a solid 4 stars. A must-visit for beer enthusiasts!

Very cosy place in A’Dam, the bartender Christian will choose together either you the beer that better matches your taste. Very large selection of beer. Highly recommend.

We didn't eat anything, we just chose from the large selection of different beers. A great selection with friendly staff behind the counter.

Best coffee and very good advice regarding the rest of the offerings

Amazing atmosphere. Absolutely huge selection of beers from all around the world.

Cosy little beer cafe with a healthy selection of craft beers on tap. My mate had a milkshake ale which was seriously like a strawberry milkshake. Awesome. Sadly, while I love beer, I’m off alcohol which meant the 0,0+- were my only choice. Thankfully, they had the best zero percenter the Netherlands have to offer: van der Streek’s “playground ipa”. If you have to go soft, go an IPA - they’re supremely better than any blonde or wheat beer could claim. A pils is also good. Wished we had gone straight here after our ribs. Great for a chill and chat and several supreme beverages to round off an evening. Highly recommend.

A fabulous bar, with a huge variety of beers. The super attentive and friendly waiter advises you at all times.

If you don't know where to drink a good beer, come here and you won't be disappointed. Large beer selection and friendly staff. After trying it on the first night I went back all week

So many good draft beers ! I love a sour and they had plenty to choose from (bonus thay they were also local) along with so many others ! Blake is the best and charged my phone when it died and made so many good local suggestions for food and things to do in the city ! I will be back !

Very nice pub, wide availability of board games and an infinite number of beers and ciders on tap and in bottles.

Went to Cafe Gollum last night with my buddy. The pub initially seemed a bit raw with a bad ambiance, but bartender Rick, an energetic Italian, turned that around completely. His kindness and dedication made our visit to this bar very special. The tapping was done down to the last detail for each glass and the way he served each beer showed true craftsmanship. At one point I got completely hard from him. If I were a woman I would have taken it home. This is a cafe we ​​will definitely go to more often👍👍🤩🤩

beer from 23 local breweries, the bartenders are nice, active and friendly. Immediately upon shaking hands, they asked what kind of beer the customer likes, and based on that, the bartender started suggesting a selection. The beers were fresh and that was really noticeable in the taste. There were plenty of options for alcohol content between 3.3-9%. Their cheeseplatter was excellent and worked nicely with the new england pale ales I had. At the end, I forgot a pack of cigarettes in the bar and the waiter ran after me to bring it. The service was exceptionally good for the entire visit and apparently afterwards as well.

Excellent selection of beers and worth the walk

A lot of options of beer on draft and bottles, from all over. The staff knows their stuff

Simply the best bar in Amsterdam (and I've had tons of it here)

Great bar with great vibes Great service

Quite a few beer choices. The terrace is not too big but it’s still super nice to go there and enjoy a little original beer.

Great craft beer and great crowd! Three locations in Amsterdam - the original is still the oldest craft beer pub in the city. 50 years old in 2024. :-)

Dazzling drink choices at a surprisingly reasonable cost for the area, excellent service, good vibes, even gooder music and open til late. Loved it!

Blake was a great server and we had some amazing beers here, recommend fully for any craft beer lovers!

It was great experience to try new beer in Amsterdam! 😌 we didn’t know much about the beer here in Europe, but Staff who helped us was so nice and kind to made us try to taste great beer! 🎉 thank youu! And the Cheese platter was so yum! 👏🏻

Cozy, atmospheric bar with a ton of personality great service and a huge selection of brewed bear!

Super chill place, alright selection of beers and always plenty of space to sit down for a cheeky pint with the lads

Place looks good. Service was a disaster. We ordered some special beers, paid at well price, but not served as it deserves. We asked for a reason and they simply said it is like it is, you don’t like it, simply go.

Incredibile selection of beers in a venue with lots of charm and great atmosphere. The barman was very helpful with his recommendations, which were excellent.

One of my favorite bars in Amsterdam for sure! Soo many choices, super cozy.

Really cute and cozy bar, it can be quite full inside but it’s definitely worth it. The bartender and the staff is super helpful and friendly, always ready to recommend beers based on own’s personal preferences. One of my fav pubs in Amsterdam!

Beer, Music, Peanuts, Service top! 👍🏻

Wide variety of beers on tap and bottle. Good service. To accompany it there is a very good Dutch cheese board.

Lots of choice! Something for everyone. The time flew.

Love this place! Great beers on tap.

Great bartender, beer selection and cheese board.

Cute pub with good selection of beers in a very central area of Amsterdam. Prices are quite normal. A bit chaotic inside but I think it’s part of the atmosphere. Was good fun!

Very nice cafe with fantastic selection of beers. One star less because the door handles were falling off in the toilets and several people got stuck and needed to knock so they could be let out.

Great craft beer spot In Amsterdam with friendly service and a wide range of craft beer styles in cans, bottles and in draft

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff, great draft selection.

Great selection of beers, too little air inside

Very well known pub in Amsterdam, very large beer selection. Very noisy and frequented by tourists and locals

Adorable little bar with an amazing beer menu. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is super relaxed. You will definitely find a beer that suits your taste here and they also have quite some special ones such as lambiek and barrel aged beers here.

Great beer choices! Server is really knowledgeable on the recommendations

Lots of beers from around the world!

Nice bar, multiple beers to choose, very nice in all aspects.

Excellent selection of craft beers, local and international. It has a pleasant atmosphere and is a good place to stop for a beer.

Great and diverse beer selection. They have a good location and a nice ambiance and atmosphere. Good service, attentive. I would recommend the stop to anyone who likes beer. There are a few other drinks as well if you are with someone who does not like beer. Overall a good stop, the large menu from beer all around Europe a d location seems to be the best features.

Delicious beers of which 30 on tap.

Brilliant spot! So many amazing beers and the service is first class

Fuimos a tomar cervezas. Tenía mucha variedad de cervezas artesanales. Merece mucho la pena. El servicio bastante bueno

Tasty beer with loads of choice. Cosy vibe if quiet. Recommended.

Amazing! Love it! I'll come again and buy a t-shirt!

Great craft beers menu. Ricky is a great bartender!

Amazing way to explore what kind ofbeers you like So many to tast, great help from behind thebar
