Café van Beeren in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Large beer selection. Cozy place for a late-night drink.

A pub with a unique beer-on-the-draw experience. Great service. But for the price, you can tell you're in Amsterdam. A bit pricey, but we had a good time.

The old man that works here it’s unfriendly, rude, arrogant, the worst service i’ve ever had in my life. DONT COME!!!

The service was terrible. The bartender was rude and arrogant. Don’t go

very unfriendly service. I don't recommend this!!!!!

I stumbled across this cafe/bar when out wandering. Managed to sit outside even though it was extremely busy around. Had the best Aperol spritz. It was so so nice. Went again a couple more times and the lady who could be one of the owners was very attentive and knew what I wanted even before I said anything. Can’t wait to come back in a few months!!!

An excellent experience from start to finish. The café has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, great quality products, and outstanding service. I would especially like to highlight Marco, the waiter who took care of us during our visit. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, always making sure we had everything we needed and making us feel truly welcome. It's rare to find someone who is so passionate about providing excellent customer service. Marco's positive attitude and dedication made our visit even more enjoyable. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this café to anyone looking for a great experience. Thank you, Marco, for your exceptional service! ☕👏

We were just escaping the rain and ended up trying some delicious Dutch beers. What a pleasant surprise!

Lovely beers and great selection. Chill but warm interior with lovely service. +++ cat

Don't be fooled by the beautiful decor. The prices are exorbitant, and the card reader is faster than you can blink.

Cozy pub! But ask about the price first, then order.

The waiter was a delight! Very friendly! I'll definitely be back.

Why tooooo expensive one grolsch draft can't be 9.5 EUR!!! Damn no ! Place is great but no tooooo 🫰🏼 expensive.. you can buy t-shirt near by with 9 eur

We didn't like the waitress's service.

Very friendly bartender and authentic Dutch atmosphere.

Nice, authentic little Amsterdam cafe, but the prices are really outrageous anymore: €17 for two beers, 400ml at that. 🥲

Café van Beeren is a very well-rated spot with a lovely location, reasonable prices, and plenty of options. It's an old bar with a beautifully nostalgic feel

Decent bar to enjoy a beer or two. Quite close to Damrak but rushed nor crowded. Friendly staff.

The staff were very welcoming, smiling, and pleasant. I recommend it for a good beer.

Paid for 4 beers. €34. Not normal

Really nice beer bar and pub! Plenty of craft beers! Service it's great and people!, ambient and style!

Many different types of grate and tasty beers 🍺

Very nice place to have a good beer and nice talks

We stopped for a drink; the staff were very friendly.

2 beers + 2 colas = €30 Unbelievable…pure rip-off!

The place is really cool, but €17 for two beers is outrageous even for Amsterdam.

Friendly, helpful, excellent service and excellent beers

Unnecessarily expensive. There's nothing special about it either.

Two beers, €22, the customer service was very unpleasant, we weren't welcome. Plus, no menu. Don't go there. Two stars because the beer was good.

Nice place , great beers on tap . Tables outside to smoke , nice staff .

No menu, the price is set arbitrarily. For €11 a beer, we at least expected a smile from the owner. Instead, nothing but an exchange as cold as the local weather. After spending a fortune, I would have hoped to find clean restrooms. Quite the opposite, as even toilet paper was nowhere to be found. The good beer and the rather pleasant atmosphere save this bar from an even lower rating.

Good beer selection, nice place, however the prices are high and the staff are quite arrogant!

Disgraceful place. They charge different rates for tourists than for locals.

Delicious beer, good service, convenient location, I recommend it

Great little spot to get a beer. A variety of Amsterdam breweries ro select a tasty beer. Friendly staff and service.

Paid for a beer and a coke: 13 euros. And that for a completely ordinary place. Disgraceful! NEVER go here! You've been warned.

Good beers! It's a quiet bar with a good atmosphere.

1 Beer €13 because we were tourist and he wanted to scam us, no menu with prices available…definitely do not recommend

Old brown café, friendly service, though the seating is a bit cramped. Wine is expensive, but hey, it's Amsterdam.

Really nice place for beers and cocktails

Great beer choice. Very good service in the heart of the city. Loved it.

Looked like a nice cosy cafe, so popped in for a beer after a wander around the shops. Tracey was very friendly and the beers were good. They had a good selection, but I'm a lager drinker, so it was the Grolsch for me.

Poor experience. The waiter couldn't even serve us. We waited for 10 minutes or more while he served the table next to us, four women who came after us. Would not recommend!

Marco is a fantastic bar tender, and we had a fabulous time trying the delicious Nocturnum. Nocturnum reminded me of a stout, similar to Guinness

Beware Tourist Trap! 8 Euros 50 for a 3/4 pint of bang average lager what a rip off! No prices shown, woman was quite abrupt and I got the feeling she was sniggering about ripping us off! There are much cheaper bars to drink at in Amsterdam.

One of the best pubs in Amsterdam

Excellent drinks, atmosphere, and service. One of the best places we found to drink in Amsterdam.

Loved this little bar. Our keeper was friendly and very helpful and whole load of fun!

The stuff was so rude! Please dont buy a small beer for 10 euros! Just walk a little bit more and find a nicer place, this bar has no good attitude specially for women! And the toilet was so dirty, dont go here

They are expensive and rude. Never gonna come here again. Don't recommend at all.

Beers were was so good expensive. Service was terrible. The stuff was so rude.

The coffee didn't say much, but despite this, the coffee is in a very good location and the service was impeccable. A good spot to take a break while watching the market go by.

Super nice place, great drinks and friendly team, they even brought over a book about the history of this type of bar for my friend after seeing she was interested in the decor. Really friendly and prices are the same as across the rest of the city.

tptal overpriced, someone has to finance their cox

A beautiful, chic, cozy, and elegant venue. The prices are a little high, but the beauty of the place makes it worth it.

Super bartender! Great IPA and good mood guaranteed))

Beers were a bit more expensive, but atmosphere was great. So overall satisfaction was great.

Great place to sit down, chill out and have a drink. Atmosphere was great and you can have a drink on the terrace over the river. A great place for couples and larger groups of people. Lots of beers on tap as well. 🍺

€8.5 for a half pint, it’s €4 just around the corner

Good beer, nice bartender, awesome vibe.

Very cozy place, nice atmosphere. The barman was very kind, tried to speak Russian with us. Very tasty variety of beer.

Bar service is good, but a woman was so unfriendly around the bar. A friend of mine went to the restroom and picked up his beer glass without permission. I can understand if the bar is super busy, you might do it, but it wasn't. She didn't even ask me if he was finished. When he came back from the restroom, he asked, "Where's my beer?" I also took a photo of the beer glass, but unfortunately, I can't upload it. I go often, but this incident ruins the bar.

We visted this place one Monday July 2025, around night time. Very quite place and the server was nice. One of the recommended place.

Very expensive for what it offers €9.50 for a beer

A little bar in the middle of Amsterdam

A great, cozy coffee shop in a shady corner of the shopping district. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, taking their time with their customers. A good selection of local beers. A bit more expensive than elsewhere, but perfectly fine considering the location and the selection.

Very friendly women. Nice place. Some tables outside. Inside with aircondition. Prices are normal. Of course you pay a but more but you are in the central and Main passage.

Great beer and great bartender…worth it!

Nice bar just off the shopping streets. Good bar staff and a nice place to sit and people watch.

Nice place, great atmosphere - but very expensive!! Apple Cider - €11.50 0.5 Pilsner - €10.00

Cracking little place. Excellent ipa

Kool bar with excellent service. The bartender from Italy was very attentive and ensured the drinks kept coming. Only shame for me was they didn't have Dilerium Red available.

We had 2 beers 0.5 l Moersleutel 0.5 l Delirium €25!!! Yes, craft beer is expensive, and the location and the area also cost a bit more. But two beers for €25 is absurd. Especially since there's no drinks menu or posted prices.

Great Place to be Good drinks, friendly Barkeeper

What a fantastic little bar to sit and watch the world go by. Good tunes and great barman. Very friendly, I would highly recommend a visit here.

Very nice place that resembles English pubs! Great bartender and nice beers

Great beers on tap, fantastic for all craft beer lovers!

We recommend it, the waitress speaks Spanish and other languages ​​and is super friendly He recommended us a brouwerijt'tij Amsterdam beer and another with a peach flavor, he also helped us by recommending a quality coffee shop that we were looking for nearby, it is right next to this bar and the price was reasonable so I recommend it 💯

would give 0 stars if i could, service is very rude

Magnífico café, tantas buenas bebidas, ubicación fantástica, lugar perfecto en el sol de la tarde para unas cervezas y cócteles, camareros muy divertidos y acogedores cuando visitamos

The place is beautiful, service good; but unfortunately, you will pay Tourist prices. Better to find another pub more down Amsterdam, where u don’t pay 11 euros for one beer !

It's a pub not a café in my opinion. It's ok - not more nor less.

Super recommended the best service

Great choose of tab beverage for a small bar in a crowded part of Amsterdam! They have some Delirium specials, which is hard to find on tap in Netherlands!

Top brown pub. Cozy, good service, decent beer and nice music

Great stop for a drink. Central close to trains

Great bar with classier feel. Good choice of craft beers and freindly service

Warm and welcoming pub that is an island of calm in a madding tourist sea. Maybe it was the moment I was there, but it was a particularly "chatty" pub, in good way. Very solid beer list too.

Delicious beer, great ambience and great service What more could you want?

The atmosphere is very good, but the price of the beers is very high, but they are good beers.

I love the aesthetic of Cafe van Beeren but the prices and beers on tap leave something to be desired. They don’t serve vaasjes or fluitjes, but size their beers as ‘medium’ or ‘large’. I paid €8.50 for a medium Grolsch - I’d hate to think what a large costs! Also Grolsch is pretty much objectively the worst Dutch beer - the expensive price wouldn’t hurt so much if it were a Heineken or Hertog Jan… but Grolsch? Nice staff though. I like the people behind the bar.

A wonderful place. The ambience is second to none. Wide selection of beers and spirits. The service is excellent. Ginette was brilliant.

Almost 18 euros for a coke & .5L beer. I have receipt. Too expensive.

Super expensive!!!! 25 euros for two beers! 🍻

Great beer and great service from Guido

A beautiful coffee that left a very bad taste in our mouths due to the atmosphere. It was empty when my partner and I entered, except for a group of boys (friends of the waiter) who as soon as they saw us began to harass me and provoke my partner. The waiter did absolutely nothing to stop the situation. We drank the beer (which had cost us about 7 euros each) in two gulps and left. I want to think that it was an isolated situation (which does not always happen) but we certainly will not return.

Definitely my favorite place in Amsterdam, absolutely adore the atmosphere, and beer selection is good!

Best of the best!!!!! Good people working here, good atmosphere 10/10 would recommend

Super place ,nice and busy ,sat at the bar having a friendly conversation with the locals . Great local beers on tap.worth the time .

Rip off no price lists on thd tables 12 euros for one glass of beer.
