Hoppe in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Vibes vibes vibes. Bartenders are nice and friendly and super welcoming! It is hoppin after work!

A classic Amsterdam brown café that’s perfect for a quick stop. I popped in for a half pint, and it was exactly what I was looking for—good beer, a relaxed atmosphere, and a mix of locals and visitors enjoying the afternoon. The historic interior gives it plenty of character, while the open front makes it easy to sit back and soak in the energy of the city.

Super fun place, great staff, and a good atmosphere. A bit noisy, though, but otherwise a solid 10.

I didn't like a certain situation. I was at a table on the sidewalk. My daughter had gone to buy potatoes and saw me there. She just stopped to talk to me, standing there with her potatoes, on her way to the hotel. The employee was a bit rude, saying that she had to go eat her potatoes on the other side of the street! Totally absurd! She was standing on the sidewalk and obviously wasn't going to sit at my table and eat the food there.

Beers, bitterballen and some pungent delish dutch mustard. Perfection!

Super friendly people and the food was great!

Best Ginger tea, no tea bags, and plenty of ginger root. Perfect wake up brew watching the world go by! Service fast and efficient!

We have seen this place randomly while we were walking around. We drunk Chardonnay white wine and it was really good. The atmosphere is night, they are open till 1 am even the weekdays

A totally local spot. If you want a place where there are no one but people from Amsterdam, you've found it.

Very nice café, very clean, bright and welcoming. We sat at the bar and the staff were without exception really, really friendly and attentive. Good selection of beer on tap. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon and although the place was pretty busy, it didn't feel crowded or chaotic and people had time for us. Recommended.

A traditional Dutch pub in a nice location. Try bitterballen a typical Dutch delicacy

Horrible services to tourists - we were in a group and they asked to leave and stay on the other side of the street.

My friends and I are from another country and we experienced xenophobia from the staff at this place. Terrible service!

Rude to Americans/tourists. My friend and I were enjoying beers and meatballs when the server told us we need to cash out and leave because our table was “reserved”. There were many other guests but we were the only ones told to leave. Would not recommend spending your money here as there is a clear bias to tourists.

A special place! I recommend it to everyone!

Best beer in the area. Skilled waiters who enjoy chatting!

The Dutch people are simply wonderful, everything is great. And it's worth a visit, whether Amsterdam or the surrounding area, you simply have to go.

Nice atmosphere and great service. True professionals!

Great pub, enjoy a quiet beer and watch the world go by. Great staff, really friendly and warm.

My first stop when I visit Amsterdam. They look after their beer and bottles of Spirits /Liquors properly, everything is spotlessly clean and I suspect their beer lines are the same which is why their beer tastes so good. They have a huge selection of beers and spirits, well large enough for my needs, they even have a menu explaining the different drinks with a short paragraph on the drink. My first drink is normally a large Amstel from the taps, refreshing and tasty, tastes like more, dangerous stuff. The ambience is exactly what a good pub should be, people chatting and having a laugh. I normally stay in the bar area where you can order food but typically this area is for the drinkers, a separate area is where you can have a sit down meal, very convenient. It is easy to start or join a conversation and I found the clientele friendly, looking forward to my next visit.

I have never had such a bad experience: the bartenders are so unbelievably rude. One literally pretended he was deaf to not answer our question. I would NEVER go to this establishment. What an embarrassment.

One of my favorite spots in the city center! Always good and will always stay that way!

My favorite beer bar in Amsterdam. Good for easy dinner. Perfect beer, super-waiters and great finger food

Very centrally located. A typical tavern, a very cozy café. Here you can sample typical Dutch beers and local dishes. We tried the biterballem, which are like our meatballs but without sauce. 👍

Hoppe remains a great place. For me. Especially on Mondays with Jaap.

If you are a tourist, beware of abuse. The waitress added orders to our table herself, making it difficult to make ourselves understood and complain.

Super popular yet old school bar. Place gets RAMMED with exuberant younger (than me) locals on weekend nights. Much more serene (like me) during the day. Recommended!

One of the most emblematic places in Amsterdam. With great tradition, this bar restaurant serves exquisite bitterballen

Super nice place, friendly service!

Super nice cafe!! One of the most famous cafes in Amsterdam, and for good reason; always a cozy atmosphere and good service. Definitely a must-visit if you are in Amsterdam.

this is one of my fav bars in Ams!! Great ambiance and good beer! perfect spot to have a drink in the afternoon!

It's a very charming, historic place. We've been twice and were pleased both times. Jonge Hoppe is worth trying.

Super nice place to have drinks, cozy location in the center!!

Nice café and it is always cozy. Drank a delicious glass of wine on the terrace.

We didn't try the food because we just wanted some beers. The waiter was super friendly. The place is big; for dessert, we were in the smaller lounge in the back. Good atmosphere, a mix of locals and tourists.

A very nice place to be, the staff is very friendly and it offers good value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice atmosphere and I was served quickly. Nice place to have a drink.

It is always very cozy here. We usually sit here in a small group and are always served nicely!

Good service, and always pleasant!

The prices are reasonable, the food is quite good, and the best part is having a beer while watching people go by; highly recommended.

Cozy cafe! The staff was very friendly and helpful, the food was good, and the service was fast. Definitely recommended.

One of Amsterdam's most charming pubs! Right in the city center and always a great atmosphere.

Helped quickly, friendly staff, and always a nice atmosphere :)

Had a wonderful time with friends here yesterday! The service and atmosphere were excellent. The old character and company of all generations give it an authentic feel. The perfect pub in the heart of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam's coziest pub! Always a warm, friendly atmosphere and excellent drinks and snacks!

A great bar in Amsterdam. The prices are reasonable and you can get some good snacks. Highly recommended.

Café Hoppe is a truly wonderful place in the center of Amsterdam. The atmosphere is always great, and it's a perfect spot for drinks with friends. The beers are well-drafted, and the terrace on the Spui is lovely, especially when the weather is nice. Highly recommended for drinks. 🍻

It's such a cozy spot for drinks! Highly recommended.

Super nice place to have drinks, cozy location in the center!!

The best casual bar in Amsterdam!!! Quite local

Great cafe for a cup of coffee and a good conversation!

A nice bar to chill and recharge after a long walk through Amsterdam.

We went for a coffee to relax our legs and take a break while eating a typical biscuit, but in a very inappropriate and unkind way, the older woman serving us told us we couldn't. We were very disappointed with this service. Not recommended.

Food alright. The employees are awful though.

Nice lady serving, cozy atmosphere. The meatballs are really great.

Very friendly staff and cozy old vibe!

My wife and I always stop for a beer, wine, coffee, sandwich, apple pie, whenever we come to Amsterdam, and we’ve been coming for over 20 years ! Staff friendly and service always excellent. Hope I’m still coming in another 20 years !! We love it, a typical Dutch bar !!

Loved it. Cosy, warm, great service, great beer.

Lovely old Amsterdam brown café on the Spui

Beautiful café with a view but some of the staff are straight up rude. Really unprofessional.

Local café with good beers and food

One of the best pubs I visited in Amsterdam. Many different beers with excellent service. Prices (reasonable) for Amsterdam 7 to 8€ most good beers

Perfect spot for beer and quick bites

As usual, nice food and beer, friendly service - Hoppe...

I haven't had the chance to explore the inside of this place yet, but I must say the exterior is a real showstopper. I've rarely seen a bow tie of such size, and honestly, it almost deserves a standing ovation for its construction. So, I'm leaving this as a preliminary note before I go sit down and try the drinks. But just to say: from the outside, this bar is a real eye-catcher, and that's probably the best review I could give it without having even set foot inside.

Didn't eat, beer good, service ok

Great atmosphere. The brown wood, old watering hole decor and attentive and experienced bartenders make this place a must stop, especially for those who find themselves shopping in the Kalverstraat area and need relief from the peaceful mob. The energy was perfect. 4 fam members, 4 beers and a few bitterbollen and cheese sticks. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Great beer selection and service.

Cosy and popular atmospheric bar in central Amsterdam with outdoor seating located in a 1600s building overlooking a square. Very friendly staff

Lovely place. Even the exterior is inviting. The hot chocolate is also delicious.

Honestly, it's just so-so. Limited service, no atmosphere. But it's still well located.

Café Hoppe is simply perfect: an absolute Amsterdam classic that fully lives up to its reputation. We stopped by in the middle of a hectic day, and it was the ideal place to warm up, relax, and escape the chaos. We loved all the beers we tried, and we also had the typical Dutch jenever, which was such a fun and delicious addition. The bitterballen were excellent, perfectly crispy and exactly what you hope for with a cold drink. The iconic sand on the floor gave it that old-school, authentic feel, and despite being right in the middle of the city, it felt cozy and calm (we went at midday). The atmosphere is warm, charming, and genuinely local. Service was super friendly, welcoming, and fast, which made the whole experience even better.

Great Buzz , Perfect spot for your Amsterdam trip - cold beers and an all round good time .

This was our go-to place for beer during our 3 days in Amsterdam. The Bitterballen is really delicious. Ijwit is a great option for those who like light beers. The atmosphere is very nice, and it's a place mostly preferred by locals. We met lots of people. They also have heaters outside, which is great; sitting outside and breathing in the city air is really nice in the winter months. It became our favorite place in Amsterdam :)

Friendly bartenders, excellent beer and jenever choices, food was awesome (we had the grilled sausage and smoked salmon sandwich), it was warm on a rainy late November day….and did I mention the beer?

Traditional, cosy, inviting, Hoppe has everything you want in a pub. The old barrels, dark wood and massive paintings are really atmospheric, the beer is excellent, it's mainly full of locals which adds to the atmosphere. The staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive although service can be slow when it's busy. We have been coming to Hoppe annually for the last 7 years, it's the first place we go when we arrive in the city, absolutely love it here. We've spent many happy hours in Hoppe on rainy November evenings and look forward to many more.

Bitterballen and Amstel, what more do you need on a visit to the Dam ? Our favourite bar in the Dam ,one of the oldest and not lost its charm at all. No music , history on every wall , great staff and you know its a proper bar with sand on the floor ! Will always be a port of call for us

We came to this great brown bar pretty late in the evening, and we enjoyed our time in it - the whole bar/pub ambiance is excellent, and the sand on the floors just adds to it!

Good old style historic bar. Good beers and good bar snacks. Worth a visit if you are a beer drinker. Went on a Monday evening and surprisingly not to busy.

Delicious Hoppe Vieux with cola, thoroughly enjoyed. My husband enjoyed his draft beer. We both enjoyed the excellent bitterballen (bitterballen), Amsterdam onions, and platters.

Friendly staff, left side was closing at 8:30pm on a weeknight and asked if I get food. They said go to the right side entrance bc the pub side was open late. No hot food after 8:30pm so I had a beer and some cheese and olives. I was hoping for bitterballen but the fryer was off on a Sunday night. Cosy atmosphere, quiet pub. Staff were friendly but had to go to the bar to ask for food and pay. Good snack and beer 🍻

My niece who lives in Amsterdam recommend Hoppe. Took a bit of time to get served but our bartender Dirk turned out to be super friendly. Beer was delish. Great example of a brown bar. It surely gets crowded in busier times, but we got a spot at the bar inside.

Service is not quite good for tourists. You buy something the coffee there and a cake from another place and the workers front to all others visitors prohibit to eat your food. That’s totally insane. You must to be loyal to all customers. I think you should revisit your policy about that. 1/5

Very historic vibes in this place. We stopped in for drinks. Staff did not like us moving chairs around so we had our kids sit at one and we took another. The patio was great for people watching and we saw it was bumping the next day when we walked by again.

Great service! And a wonderful atmosphere!

Hops are still popular with young and old!

A great Amsterdam café. Friendly service. And a view of the Spui, where the book market is held on Fridays.

A good bar with a rich history. We had a beer and relaxed. There were a lot of people there, and there was a wait for a table.

We had a good time in this bar. Service was good, staff were super nice and friendly.

The atmosphere is a plus, reminiscent of a 400-year-old atmosphere, with sand on the floor—they clean it as customers walk by. A large selection of local spirits—Genever in every form. The downside is the staff, who seem fed up with the crowds and tourists—they'd probably feel more comfortable with local customers.

I loved the historical and authentic bar atmosphere, the snacks were delicious and nice.

The bitterballen was delicious. The beers were also good, and you might want to try their winter specials. It's a place to sit, people-watch, and chill.

Top chef in the making, Zonneveld

Great service and one of the oldest bars in the city centre close to the canals. Their Bitterballen was just amazing and felt so fresh along with the mustard sauce. Totally worth a visit and choose this if you are first timer and thinking which bars to go.

Simply the oldest and best pub in the Netherlands

Nice atmosphere, very cozy, I am a real Amsterdammer myself so great

Enthusiastic and skilled men working with a keen eye for their guests! A great atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon! Thank you and best regards, Richard R. Lieuwes

Owner should learn to fight with his fists

Worst place EVER. Never visit this place. We were 4 people, ordered some beer and snacks (which were awful). Since we wanted to try the traditional Amsterdam fries they do not sell, so went to a nearby place to get the fries... We got kicked out cause we couldn't have the fries in the same table... The waitress basically shout us out like we were dogs, and even the ower treated as if we were committing a crime... Of course we asked for the check and left this horrible place. DO NOT RECOMMEND
