Jasmine in Noord

This is a great bar to visit. Amazing bitterballe and the staff really know what they are doing. Jan is like an encyclopedia of beers, suggested great pieces and knew the story and description of over 100 beers. You will be in good hands.

This used to be a good spot to meet friends, however yesterday this experience completely changed. As our friend group sat at one of the high top tables and had a drink, the waitress came and said they just received a reservation for that table and needed us to move to a table in the back. Mind you, those spots in the back are bright and loud due to the music over the speakers. This was by far not our idea of going to our 'regular' brewdog spot and weren't amused. However it came down to move or get out. The manager of the night has been highly unprofessional about the situation and with this as he came acted almost hostile at our table. They have lost us at customers at this location !

Banger beer, banger design, happy me

Vinimos aquí después de caminar desde el paseo marítimo, ya que pasamos el día en Kinderdijk y Dodrecht. Estábamos aquí un domingo por la noche alrededor de las 6 PM. El lugar estaba muerto. Pedimos cerveza y vino y nos sentamos afuera. Los camareros no podrían haber sido más amables y nos informaron que era el día del recuerdo, así que a las 8 PM. Fue un silencio de dos minutos en todo el país que estuvimos allí durante aproximadamente una hora. Gran cerveza gran vino no puede quejarse. Volvería en un santiamén. El bar está situado en una sección de arte callejero muy concurrida de Rotterdam bastante cool.

There is nothing better to do on a sunny summer's day when you get off work around 5 and there's still about 5 hours worth of sun. You're off for a feed with your colleague and your throat is conveniently thirsty. Something that a nice glass of homebrew beer would fix. De Gele Kanarie checks all these boxes, with surprisingly good bar food, predictably good beer and just a chill atmosphere. There's also a bunch of whacky decor of humans with yellow canary heads, which I think is the Dutch name of the joint. I think if you drink enough beer in here you might end up with a yellow canary head yourself. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing who knows.
