Cafe Heuvel in De Weteringschans

The waiter or owner was very rude. He pretended he didn't speak any English but was chatting with someone he know fluently in English. Please skip this place if you are visiting Amsterdam.. This cafe gives the worst impression to the foreign visitors!

Lovely authentic atmosphere and super friendly bar staff. If I had a pub myself I would hire the lady behind the bar immediately. You don't see many like this.

Unfreundlicher Besitzer, viel zu teuer für ne Bierkneipe und superdreckige Toiletten. Spart euch den Besuch und nehmt was anderes.

Great spot with excellent views, very reasonably priced

It's almost impossible to be old, lumpy and messy. Has something.

Great service and the service is great. If I die, then on a hill

Two small beers (3,75) is cheaper than 1 big beer (8,50). Weird. When I pointed this out by asking for two small beers poured into a big glass I was ignored service :,). Enjoy!

We were kicked out while we were still deciding what to order. The waiter came over and asked what we’d like, and we said we were still choosing. We were reading the menu and checking photos of the dishes on our phones since we’re not familiar with the food, it was our first time in the Netherlands. The waiter then said, ‘Well, you’re not reading the menu, you’re on your phones.’ Rude. But honestly, maybe it was a good thing we didn’t stay. After reading some of the other reviews of the place, you get a pretty clear idea of what it’s like.

If you really care about the scores and reviews, just fire that guy then everything will works fine. Solve the problem at its root, this guy doesn't really have much connection with modern civilization. But if you don't, there would be another shop name lined up for you: "Café Foreigners GTFO, Baldhead FK The World"

Grandes cafés marrones (también conocido como pub). Cómodo y acogedor. Servicio amable. Genial cerveza. Vale la pena detenerse si estás de paso.

Good drinks and authentic Dutch appies.

The bald waiter (the one everyone seems to have the same issue with) tried to force my friend to drink alcohol - there were four of us and the other three had bought drinks (myself included). He stood over my friend and told her she either had to buy alcohol or leave and insisted this is a rule in Amsterdam. Really intimidating experience and made everyone deeply uncomfortable. They have since responded with an immature and irrelevant comment so I will give one back - they don't allow drugs? They also clearly don't allow hair. Do better for yourself!

Wonderful little bar... Just great.

Very cozy without airs and graces Amsterdam cafe with real naughty rascals behind the bar. Where the clientele often consists of famous Dutch people, the concept in Amsterdam

Super cozy, pure Amsterdam café, we will definitely come back

As a born Amsterdammer I can say that this is truly one of the nicest places in Amsterdam. In addition, always laughing with the staff.

We were sitting on the terrace with an aperol and we were cold and then Robbert came to us with a few blankets, such personal service! I love it!

El camarero / camarero se acercó a nosotros tres veces en probablemente tres minutos, progresivamente cada vez más grosero, ya que dijimos que nuestro amigo estaba adentro pidiendo. Luego volvió a entrar para comprobar si nuestro amigo estaba pidiendo - también vale la pena señalar que todo el lado en el que estábamos sentados estaba completamente vacío, no estábamos tomando una mesa valiosa. Volvió a la mesa, procediendo a decir que no podía encontrar a nuestro amigo e incluso si está pagando por una bebida, no estamos pagando a los clientes, así que me ofrecí a irme, pero dijo que estaba bien. Luego entró al baño y verificó si estaba en el baño. Mi amigo volvió y se sentó y el camarero volvió la tercera vez para decir que no podíamos sentarnos allí, a pesar de decirnos lo contrario dos veces antes. Específicamente la forma en que hablaba era tan innecesariamente degradante.

Had a lovely seat on the canal. Top waitress. We will be back!

All reviews about rudeness, people being pushed away by staff, too direct and the like. I can certainly deny it. There are always two sides to the story and they are not presented here. As long as you can just say thank you, please, and goodbye (as you should) then you've come a long way. In short, a wonderful tent, with a great atmosphere! Café Heuvel is one of the best cafés in Amsterdam

Great neighborhood pub, we have been coming here a few times a week for 20 years, hospitality reigns supreme, nice and friendly staff.

I spent 1 hour and 15 minutes in this café today. I noticed that the level of friendliness from the two people behind the counter varies depending on the customer: Dutch customer: very friendly White foreign customers: moderately friendly Non-white foreign customers: very unfriendly When I simply asked for a price, the bartender accused me of causing trouble... Strange attitude.

Fantastic pub, very cozy. Top staff!

Great tent! Great service, especially for tourists. Feel welcome.

Excessive prices, friendly staff

Tuve una experiencia decepcionante en este café. Pedimos dos expresos, y el personal era antipático y poco atractivo — sin saludos, sin conversaciones y apenas reconocimiento. Cuando llegó el momento de pagar, ni siquiera miraron hacia arriba, simplemente colocaron el recibo en el mostrador en silencio. El café en sí era muy caro por la calidad. En general, un lugar que no recomendaría si valoras el buen servicio y un ambiente acogedor.

Small bar. Excellent capuchino. Good atmosphere. Interesting decor.

Super friendly staff, really Amsterdam ;)

We came in to have a tea and the bald man serving at the bar scoffed and was unhappy. I think he was unhappy we only ordered one thing but there was literally no one there so it’s not like we were taking room away. It was an uncomfortable experience. Why would you treat paying customers like that? Embarrassing. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

Always fun!! Nice old-fashioned pub to have a chat at the bar

The nicest café in Amsterdam and the bartenders are all great. Highly recommended

Incredibly rude service. We would not return nor recommend it to anyone.

I have been coming to Cafe Heuvel every week for a long time and, contrary to the reviews below, I have never had an unpleasant or unpleasant experience. All the employees are great and I always have a pleasant evening here. A cozy atmosphere and good service!

Cozy nice bar in the heart of Amsterdam with super nice staff ♥️

Nicest café in Amsterdam. Always fun and great service :)!

Luckily they still exist! A café as it should be!

Lovely real Amsterdam pub with a good atmosphere and top staff

Heuvel is a friendly bar, popular with locals, they also have a great terrace where you can relax and watch the world go by.

Super fun! Nice atmosphere, friendly staff...

Old-fashioned cozy brown pub with a very diverse audience and excellent service!!

Great local bar, true Amsterdam vibe.

Old-fashioned Amsterdam pub in the heart of the city center, very cozy! Enjoy a beer there with friends!

Arrogant, unfriendly and above all incompetent!!! After waiting for more than 20 minutes, you weren't served, even though the café wasn't overly busy. One can do it, the other can't. These two guys definitely don't know how to do gastronomy!!!!

Quaint pub with a friendly landlord. A nice place to stay. We didn't eat anything, so there's no rating for it.

Bald man behind the bar insists on tipping while his service is poor and rude. As he walked away, he said to us: “Fuck off”. So 1 star for that bald egg head behind the bar.

there were 2 of them, the bald bartender made all kinds of comments about how short our skirts supposedly were and wanted to smoke a cigarette with us outside in an alley, very threatening atmosphere, we had to walk away with someone else because otherwise we thought we would not get away safely

Onbeschofte kale barkeeper; licht je op met extra servicekosten ook als je maar liefst 10 drankjes tegelijk bestelt. Ga hier nooit meer heen.

Owner was very rude, said to fuck off when we left, mediocre atmosphere and unfriendly employee

Strange guy behind the counter bald arie

Never come back here again. The employees are rude, rude and arrogant. You will be treated inhumanely here. The location is dirty and poorly maintained. Definitely don't waste your money on these abuses.

Fantastic bar the chap behind the bar is a great host. Great place to people watch 🙈.

¡Personal horrible, lugar horrible! Francamente, estas personas no merecen estar en el negocio si no pueden ser corteses y amigables con sus clientes.

Went there for drinks last night with my friends, a girl was hyperventilating on the floor and the servers were not helpful and tried to kick her out, I’m definitely not going back, to a place that treats the patrons this way

I had a shocking experience at this bar. A waiter forcefully pushed me out of his way without warning. When I calmly questioned him, he dismissed me, saying he works there, as if that justified his behavior. When I asserted that it wasn’t okay, he became hostile and started mocking me, even as I became visibly distressed and began to cry. Feeling overwhelmed and unsafe, I reacted, and instead of de-escalating the situation, the staff sided with him and treated me with zero empathy, despite the fact that I was on the floor, hyperventilating. The complete lack of professionalism and compassion from the staff was deeply upsetting. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, respectful environment.

I have been to this place a few times for a casual drink as I live around the corner. After today’s experience will not come back. I suggested this place to my friends and we went for a drink in the terrace in December. When we arrived 2 out of 3 friends ordered and one of them decided he did not want to order anything at the moment. The waiter very quickly replied “oh you are enjoying the warmth of the heater right? Then you are going to order something!” Acting like it was rush hour and we were occupying a table and not consuming. Important to highlight that the terrace was half empty, so for sure we were not keeping them from making money. This is the type of bullying attitude I will not tolerate, and having worked in hospitality, the waiter has a huge lack of customer service and respect. I’m not the type of person to make a scene, so I have ordered 2 Tonics for myself to “cover” my friend, we had our drink and left. so Really hope those couple of euros helped reach your target and pay the electricity bill for the heaters of your empty terrace.🌈

El servicio más horrible en Amsterdam. Mis amigos y yo estábamos teniendo un día maravilloso, disfrutando del sol y el ambiente encantador de la ciudad, solo para que se arruine completamente por el barman grosero, verbalmente abusivo, horrible (¿quizás incluso propietario?). Quédate muy, muy lejos de este lugar. La peor experiencia que he tenido desde que me mudé a los Países Bajos.

Horrible experience. Avoid if you don’t want your day ruined.

One of the worst experiences I’ve had in Amsterdam. Horrible people, rude staff, awful place.

Situated in a beautiful location on the canal. Excellent service and a cozy atmosphere.

Gran lugar para sentarse fuera y ver el mundo pasar mientras toma un par de pintas a la hora del almuerzo. El bar está en una encrucijada muy pequeña donde las bicicletas mandan. Muy entretenido ver a los lugareños virando para evitar que los turistas deambulen por el carril bici. La cerveza es buena, los servidores todo amigable, si ves una mesa agarrala como las barras si se pone muy ocupada

El barman más oxidado, pero un café / bar muy pintoresco. Actuó como misógino en mi contra (soy una mujer para el contexto). Llevaba una camisa blanca. Pedí un 2 Heinekens, uno para mi mamá y yo (en Irlanda que normalmente significaría una pinta). Empezó a servir un vaso pequeño, luego dije “Lo siento, quería decir 2 pintas” y luego dijo “Nunca dijiste pintas”. Mirando hacia atrás, tal vez debería haberlo hecho. Le dije que en Irlanda nunca tenemos que decirlo en Irlanda (para que supiera por qué ya que la cultura es diferente). Luego dijo groseramente “Bueno no estás en Irlanda estás en Holanda” (gracias por escenificar lo obvio por cierto : ) ) ni siquiera fue lo que dijo sino la forma en que me miró y sonrió. Me pareció extraño... de alguna manera me quedé sintiéndome avergonzado frente al bar y pensé que él se lo habría dicho a mi hermano y a mi papá... creo que no. Volveremos a los Países Bajos, pero no aquí nunca más.

Very cozy Amsterdam cafe with very friendly service

To flee! To be avoided at all costs...to summarize, we were almost insulted by the waiter because my three-year-old son stayed in the toilet for more than 3 minutes and he told us that we were scaring away the customers (so if we scares customers away, so much the better they will thank us). Basically, I had ordered a zero coke, while my husband was in the toilet with our son, when he came back, he told me that the woman inside the cafe is angry because my son was in the toilet (a real sketch) so I tell the waiter that I'm paying zero for my coke and we leave and then he gets angry saying that we didn't order enough that there are three of us etc and that we had taken advantage of the toilets hahaha. A real crazy person! In short, really the kind of place to avoid...read the other comments, I'm not the only one...it's quite hilarious!

Friendly people and a nice spot on the corner

Best pub in Amsterdam! And what a view of the intersection.

Top service!!!! And nice and cheap

Nice places for a quick beer if you go to the Paradiso

We wanted to have a drink outside on the terrace. Many tables are empty, but there is a dirty ashtray on every table, which I personally don't like for my nose when I drink coffee. I put the dirty ashtray on another table, the waiter comes and just puts it back... Maybe there are other people who want to smoke was his answer. Not at a table where we sit? Weird and rude action. Coffee wasn't special either, just ready-made from the machine, not hot either.

a cozy cafe. you keep looking at the walls and ceiling

Terrible service. What kind of place denies tap water and don't let you split the check?

Rude. I asked for a cappuccino for myself. My wife didn't want anything. He told me that if there were two of us, it was necessary for two to consume. Not recommended even for a cappuccino!!!

Lovely cafe, great decor, friendly, helpful staff, nice clean toilets. Great drinks, service and food! Lovely cosy atmosphere.

Für uns die beste Kneipe in der Stadt! Gut gezapftes Bier, freundliche Bedienung mit Humor. Jeden Abend sind wir zum Abschlussbier gekommen mit der Hoffnung, einen freien Platz zu ergattern. Nicht immer einfach, das Lokal ist sehr beliebt. Wir kommen wieder !!!

Rude staff. We wanted to go for a drink and we were just sent outside. For no reason.

What bad bad service, incredibly rude. Had to wait a very long time to even place an order.

I was laughing on the terrace as the locals explained to tourists what a cycle path was.

What a rude woman worked there. Just stay away from here.

The worst experience ever. Overcharged by 9 beers, once we wanted to correct it, they were yelling at us, we were being pushed, threatened and got comments ‘learn dutch’, ‘leave the country’. Owner and waiters are extremely rude and unpleasant. Stay away from this place by all costs. There is a lovely bar ‘Cafe Hans en Gretje’ just a minute away with lovely staff and great views.

Very bad treatment, terrible service

Love this cafe nice seats outside we had a beer. Nice service from the waiter.

Spent a really fun evening here. Drinks were delicious and the bartender was funny.

Great bar! Super friendly bartenders, authentic location, good beer and toasties.

Would give 0/5 star if we could. We went in to share a drink as it was pouring outside and the cafe was quite empty. We were asked what else we wanted because we just ordered 1 drink out of 2 people, to share , and the TALL BALD (so bald) waiter said we couldn’t do that - “consumption is necessary per person”. We left as this is not the service anyone should receive. Being two young girls in Amsterdam we found this experience unsettling unprofessional and down right inappropriate as this is not the case for the service we received elsewhere. I have severe allergies and cannot tolerate a lot of the things served in places and this experience was truly shocking. P.S if you need hair transplant options I’m happy to recommend someone - being rude isn’t a good look either.

Terrible experience!! My wife and I sat on a table outside because we wanted to drink a coffee but since my children weren't having anything they rudely asked us to leave. "There are 4 of you or order everyone else away!" Absolutely disgraceful service! Absolutely avoid! I think it's a habit for them given the previous comments!

Super cozy old-fashioned café with fantastic staff with a great sense of Amsterdam humor. Alone or with friends, this café is always worth a visit. Small terrace with one of the best views in Amsterdam, great for people watching all day or chatting with the other guests.

Nice man! Typical Amsterdam pub with fantastic service 👍

Unfriendly service and snacks not commensurate with the price. We feel cheated out of money.

I enjoyed being here, quiet place, nice place to pass time either alone or with friends.

Good cafeteria in an emblematic location, good service.

Very bad service. When we asked the bartender to tell us about the beer in the place, she rudely replied that the menu was on the table. After that we ordered drinks, but two of the company did not want to order anything, the bartender said that those people who did not order anything should leave. Very rude attitude to clients. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

"we are not a workstation" I was told after seating there for 20 minutes and ordering. I understand this is not the place to work all day. I was literally waiting for my friend. And the place was not busy.

Sitting down for a drink with a guest from abroad. My guest ordered coffee. I also wanted a coffee, but that wasn't possible because I wanted a vegan coffee, and they didn't have oat milk there. It can happen, so normally I think about what to take. But you don't even get the opportunity because you are immediately informed that as soon as there are more people, your seat will be taken. What a rude person. I ordered another drink because I wanted something to drink and instead of staying there, I quickly left. Without the usual tip, because it is of course out of place here. Some people like to think about it for a while if their first option is not in a catering tent.

I went to the toilet and after some waiting the lady's one got empty, went inside as it was an individual one, after some seconds a tall bald guy went inside and he grabbed me by the arm with force and he pulled me down the stairs. I told him what he was doing, he said something like this is the ladies toilet, I told him this was not ok, then he left and called me cancer in Dutch.

We really liked the place. We only stopped to drink a few beers. Very nice place and the service was really nice too.

We had a very bad experience with discrimination in this cafe which kicked us out of its terrace because we do not consume alcohol Plus I was pregnant it was 5 p.m. it was last August I wanted a cappuccino we sat down my sister my husband and I the waiter comes to see us we give him our order he looks at us and he starts to sneer with a haughty air saying you're serious you want a cappuccino but it's aperitif time!!! I reply that I don't drink alcohol, he stares at me and tells me if you want a cappuccino, go look elsewhere, he left us in a lurch and left, muttering hhhhhh they want a cappuccino!!!! Very bad experience

We just jumped in for a coffee before visiting Rijk Museum. The place has a really good atmosphere with all those decorations. The owner ( we met the woman) was kind with us. We were talking about a lots of things, including some tourists' behavior, which we have seen on the spot. A group arrived, they didn't even say hello to the owner, they didn't order, just went to the toilet. Unbelievable. We were sitting at the window, wondering the view on the bridge and the canal.

Worst service I’ve ever witnessed. The tall/bald waiter was extremely unfriendly towards anybody who’s not Dutch. Tourists are not welcome there, the waiter badmouthed/joked about us with other Dutch people. Would not go there again and would not recommend for any tourists to go there.

Ze hebben hier goddelijke warme chocolademelk! Super leuke en gezellige mensen. Top mensen! Dankjewel voor deze onvergetelijk smaak en sensatie. Dit café van Ron Brandsteder is een aanrader.

For a pub golf we wanted to get 6 special drinks, staff were very rude

Extremely rude bartender. Wasn’t welcoming at all and spoke to me like I was an idiot when asking about drinks being served?! Wouldn’t recommend.
