Skatecafe in Noordelijke IJ-oevers Oost

Fuck off about the women's toilet becoming unisex, but men still being able to relieve themselves in private at the MEN'S TOILET

Really nice place.. i dont know if its because they are cutting costs (which would be lame) but all the drinks have almost none alcohol. They pour so little amount and if you ask the will tell you that |"its like that everywhere"

I loved this place! It's huge, offers lots of fun activities, and seems like the perfect spot for any time of day. I highly recommend it.

Best club I’ve been to and I’ve been to at least 5 clubs

the bounces are rude and racist. they treat english speakers rudely, and are all on some power trip. The club itself is nice but there should be a reevaluation of the door staff.

We paid 16 euros entry with a big group of 15. One of our friends accidentally went out after being being harassed by a woman for being gay (what type of audience is this??) and then then he immediately noticed and wanted to get back in. The woman and man working there who saw him going out in that moment (black guy and black haired woman) just basically waited for him to get out and immediately told him he can’t go back in. Even after he proved he had paid and that he didn’t know this was the exit. The door was opened when he left so he didn’t even see the exit sign on the door. The security man said he can give him a deal and make him pay only 8 euro to get back in but to be honest, I expect more from Amsterdam Noord. Acting inclusive while trying to make money and probably get commission by letting drunk people exit by themselves and charge them more to get back in, knowing they are drunk and with a big group. We all left afterwards because i’d rather party in the city with an inclusive, Amsterdam-type of vibe than go up all the way to Noord for this naughty and non-cooperative behavior. What a nasty place

I usually don’t write bad reviews, but this time I feel I need to speak up because I really did not have a good experience at this club. At one point, a woman repeatedly told me to move away from her in a very hostile way, even though I had not done anything to her. I experienced this as homophobic and, understandably, it made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. I eventually just wanted to find my friends and leave the situation. Unfortunately, there was then a misunderstanding. I thought my friends had gone behind the football court, so I checked the map and walked in that direction without realizing that I had already left the club premises. As soon as I realized what had happened, I immediately turned around and tried to go back inside. However, security, specifically a Black man and a dark-haired woman, would not let me back in, even though all of my belongings were still in a locker inside. What followed was around 10 to 20 minutes of discussion about whether I could re-enter. One of my friends also tried to help me get back inside, but by that point I had honestly given up. I no longer wanted to go back in. I just wanted to go home because after everything that had happened, I simply did not feel welcome there anymore. I understand that security has rules to follow, and I’m not questioning their right to enforce them. But the way the situation was handled, combined with the homophobic treatment I experienced earlier that night, left me with a really negative impression. I hope the club takes this kind of experience seriously, because nobody should have to feel unwelcome or targeted simply for being themselves.

Cool place to hang out, play football, pingpong listen to músic

15 euro entrance fee... absolutely ridiculous. And they keep complaining that the nightlife is being destroyed.

Wonderful place with nice concept, we tried BBQ set, food was nice

Really fun spot for a night out, they have multiple dance floors with different music as well as a lot of open space for people to chill. Drinks are decently priced. Crowd is fun and somewhat social.

Super good time, bathrooms leave a lot to be desired. Taking a number two is hardly possible. Atmosphere generally good, lots of young people and no aggression.

Was a vegan, now I eat chicken 🐔

Nastiest cocktails I have ever been served in a bar or restaurant. I got flashbacks to when I was 16 and mixed ginger beer with vodka. No fizz, no lime, really gross. Furthermore, I got a tonic while I had ordered a ginger beer, but my friends wouldn't let me say anything about it. I am not coming back.

We came for drinks on Thursday evening. At 11:45 PM, we could no longer order drinks at the bar, even though it was open until 1:00 AM. Only the bartender's friends could get drinks, as they kept coming outside with new drinks. When we brought this up, they responded dismissively. We stayed seated for a little while longer, but this continued. Eventually, around 12:45 AM, the bartender started flying a drone low over the terrace, probably to scare us away. We left after that. Very unfriendly staff.

Nice place where nothing is weird!

Great place for a dub festival. Great pizza and lovely staff

Reggae dub night...it was really hot and muggy...nice location!

Not that great to be honest, the outdour facilities including football cage is fun, but it is just overpriced and service was alsno not that quick. Ordered a Ribeye for €28,50, but it didn't come with any sides whatsoever. Just a piece of meat with a litre of gravy and some flavorless chips. It tasted good, but for this price one should expect some fries or salad with it. The dessert was also nice but it was just an expensive McFlurry - €8,50 and it tasted exactly the same as a McFlurry

Very very nice restaurant, everything we ordered was delicious! The vibe is very good too.

so fun!! they have loads of games outside (football, basketball, ping pong), a photobooth, and cute places to sit. inside I enjoyed how they had some different rooms with different DJs. inside the main room they also had a half pipe with a guy skateboard which was so cool, definitely recommend!

A 69-year-old who thinks the atmosphere at Skatecafe is great. Compliments.

Skatecafe is an icon. I hope they continue elsewhere later.

What a shitty place. Acting all important at the door and turning people away because they don't know exactly which DJ is playing that evening. Thinking they're Club Bergheim, lol.

Very nice, cozy, open atmosphere. Nice decor. Affordable beer. Recommended for a quiet beer with mates. Friendly staff. It's really cool that there's a skate park inside.

This used to be a really nice place, too bad the menu has become so fancy and decadent instead of the down to earth and affordable vibe it used to be.

High quality toilet paper in the bathroom: Thick, soft, bleached. Really great.

Super chill service. Contrary to some other reviews, very attentive. Food was better than expected. Fresh, well-seasoned, tasty combinations. A bit (very) noisy due to skateboarding kids, though.

Food was delicious. We waited over one hour for it tho. One cook looked super cute. Service was not good.

Been here a few times and its a really good venue! The facility offers both indoor/outdoor event spaces, making it compatible for both day and night parties. Talking about the facilities, the stages are all very well ornamented and the sound is great. There us plenty of relaxing space and they also have a restaurant and make amazing pizzas! Definitely worth visiting!

this place cannot decide what to be !

We stumbled upon this place by chance, looking for somewhere to eat, as it was late and we had just arrived in the city. It wasn't lunchtime, but they did bring us some appetizers: bread with spiced butter and some delicious vegetable croquettes. The service was very friendly and the atmosphere was great—we loved it.

Unexpectedly fun nightlife spot. You can eat, drink, and watch performances there. Great.

Really great place to hang out overall. We made a reservation online, but later found out that the day we had chosen was “soup day,” so we had to change it. After that, we emailed them again to adjust our reservation, but didn’t receive a response for three days. Luckily, when we showed up despite not getting a reply, there were still plenty of empty seats, so everything worked out. I really enjoyed both the events (parties) and the restaurant itself. After 7 PM, the vibe is amazing. Perfect for Instagram if you’re into that, or simply for a nice date. The wine that was recommended to us was a solid 10/10. The food was good, but in my opinion, extremely overpriced. Overall, I would definitely go again, both for dinner and for the parties.

Really mixed experience but overall poor. We had high hopes for this place, having been recommended by a friend, but it just didn’t deliver. Would not recommend. Firstly, the location and venue is very cool. The front of house who seated us was very warm and welcoming. However, after being seated, we were effectively ignored for the rest of the night - after 20+ minutes we had to beckon someone to take our drinks order, and we then had to constantly get someone’s attention for the rest of the evening… there seemed to be lots of staff, all “looking busy” but no one really seemed to be responsible for any specific area of the restaurant. Our starters were good (ceviche, sausage) when they arrived but our mains were then forgotten, and after a further 20 minutes (again) having to get the attention of the server we then found out he had forgotten to update the system once he’d cleared our starters - no real apology or offer of anything. Once the mains turned up, the chicken (piri piri) was mediocre and strangely “wet”, and the fish made my partner feel sick instantly - I tried some and it tasted very off. By this time it had been nearly 2hrs so we paid the bill (again, no one was paying attention so we had to walk up to the bar to pay) and then left to get the ferry back. This place has such great potential, it’s just really missing the mark. Perhaps it was a bad night, but I would not recommend it to anyone. It was Valentine’s Day as well, but not busy, so just really disappointing overall.

Dear angel at the door, she granted me 🤍

What an aesthetic, really beautiful

It was just not good. The staff was very busy, especially with themselves and each other. The food took a long time, and dessert took at least 45 minutes. We eventually had to walk around to get a drink because I think the staff had forgotten our table. We were a group of 10 and were seated near the door to the courtyard. This door opened five times a minute, and with an outside temperature of -1°C, after a while half of our group was wearing coats because it was simply too cold. Not to mention that a constantly slamming door was incredibly annoying.

Great location! Appetizers delicious! Main course mediocre. Service: as a guest, you're lucky to be in this uber-hip restaurant. That feeling.

Here you can enjoy a wonderful game of chess

One of the best sound systems in the city.

I've never left a review before, so this is my first. I've been here so many times, but the last two times I've been served by a blonde girl with a nose piercing, and she absolutely makes the evening. The food is fantastic too. Thank you so much, and it deserves my first review.

Delicious food for a great price! Nice open kitchen, great atmosphere, and the chefs dance or sing along.

I went to Skatecafe for the first time with Too Many Zooz, and it was amazing! I've never seen such an epic place.

I was there for a concert - it's the coolest venue I've ever been to! The sound was good and the atmosphere in the skate cafe is unique and special.

It's strange that they empty your paid-for locker during the evening and dump your belongings in the lost and found. When you tell them you find this strange, to say the least, they don't understand. The atmosphere and music weren't great either.

Great place , brilliant staff. A hidden way gem behind the the main Skate Cafe . Great atmosphere

The atmosphere is so unique — part restaurant, part skate spot, with a really fun and creative vibe. The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the food was delicious with great cocktails too. It felt like a true local gem rather than a touristy place. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re visiting Amsterdam and want something different and authentic! 🛹✨

Great place for a drink, food and to skate. Also suitabel to have fun with friends, kids, a party etc. Very informal , nice music, super friendly staff. Food is OK for the money, just good and tastefull. Also vegan options. Not suitable for a romantic quiet night. Cheap or free parking in front!

Get more restrooms. You can never have too many restrooms. Besides, your crowd is mediocre and the music weird, but I'll mess with it.

Definitely one of the best clubs in Amsterdam. Also great food, with three restaurants to choose from 🤯

Amazing place! Nice staff, great food, drinks and location.

One of the greatest place to be in Amsterdam whether you are looking for some divine food or the best parties in town ❤️‍🔥

One of the best places in Amsterdam, great to see so many Palestine flags too ❤️❤️❤️

everywhere palestine flags, very disappointing

The doorman was really caring. Thank you to the lovely gentleman who helped me time leaving the bar to get to my uber!

Unique space with unique events!!!🤸🤸‍♀️🤩

For 2025 it lacks more vegetarian options. The food we tried was alright but nothing which really stood out. Service is friendly but a bit slow and the waiter made a mistake and served us the wrong dish. Voicing this didnt receive the understanding I hoped for. Also the food wasnt served at the same time, while that was offered. The place itself is good and its location special, unfortunatly we didnt have the time to stick around for the party.

Very cool venue. I don't know what it looks like during the day, but they have good music programming and a very unique space.

Great secret place in a rishing up neighborhood. Friendly, big and great environment

You kidding me? Sooooo cooool. Skatepark and amazing food all in the same room. Big ideas mean big fun, blown away

Went there at night for partying. The music was good and the vibe was nice. They have a football field and a nice outside area.

The location is really cool!! Haven’t tried the food but the club environment at night is great. Only downside is the soundsystem. It is just not loud enough. I get that the venue is difficult to master regarding sound acoustics but I thinks a much better job can be done.

Security were rude and unhelpful in finding lost keys, Sam in particular who requested my phone as access to the venue, despite already having a stamp.

Nice place. The staff wasn't really into it.

Original dishes, fast service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than your schedule allows. I'll be back—hungry and full of anticipation!

surprisingly tasty food, nice, funny, casual service, nice, messy place, I'm a fan

This restaurant offers not only excellent food but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are surprising and perfectly balanced. The attentive staff makes the visit extra special. Absolutely recommended for food lovers!

This restaurant surprised me positively! The dishes were prepared with care, full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy and the staff friendly and attentive. A place where you don't just eat, but really enjoy. I will definitely come back!

Cozy, enough space, good atmosphere, good line-up and not long waiting at the bar.🏆 And then in the middle of the night a game of table football or outside football in the football cage? 🤯 What a cool place to go out!

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere and friendly service. A place where you want to come back again and again!

Skatecafe in Amsterdam is a unique and vibrant place with a great atmosphere. The combination of good music, tasty food and a relaxed atmosphere makes it the ideal place to chill. Whether you come for the skate vibe or just for a fun night out, it is definitely worth a visit.

A completely crazy place with a skate track, a mini-oven playground, a barefoot art walk, a terrace in front of the kitchen, and even tables under a carousel roof further inside near the second bar with live music! The food was fabulous on the outdoor terrace. Plenty of vegetables, herbs, spices, and sauces for a tasty dinner. A small wine menu and drinks to go with it. It's often crowded.

Cool spot with tasty vegetarian options. The menu changes regularly, so I couldn't see anything online about the current offer, exciting because I'm not necessarily an easy eater. In the end I ate a dish that I might never have chosen but that was very tasty!

The staff kept moving tables and chairs back and forth between the main rooms all evening. I felt gaslighted — and I loved it

My friends and I unknowingly stood infront of a door which apparently is not allowed. In response, a security guard cornered my friend, shouting at him and putting his hands on his shoulders. We calmly explained that we did not know we couldn’t stand there and we were then subsequently taken outside of the club, my friends were then threatened, shouted at, and pushed by said security guard. Of course we then left. Please do better on this front, if it was clearly advertised that we could not stand there, then we wouldn’t have, but the unnecessary violent and angry approach was uncalled for.

The sound could perhaps be worked on a bit... I was at a party, so perhaps on a normal day there would be more attention to the 'don't shout at each other to be able to hear each other' point... not that it would matter for adults, but for a 'developing child's ear' it would.

Fantastic! We were here for a party. Great atmosphere, delicious food and lots to do for the kids. Skate park, football. Really nice staff.

Come here regularly, food is always amazing (vegetarian options so so good). Lovely staff, really friendly and great service.

Skatecafé in Amsterdam-Noord really surprised me with a unique mix of raw charm, creative energy and a relaxed atmosphere. I love how you can skate, eat and dance there without it feeling forced. The food was great and the music made it complete. LOL. I stayed much longer than planned. 🫣

Will be back! Great vibe, food & hospitality!

Really enjoyed skate cafe, it’s two restaurants that turn into 3 club rooms at night towards 10 pm. Techno, house and other music is played depending on the night! I highly reccomend it, the bartenders are also very kind considering how full it can get!

not an open crowd, music is like generic af

Remains a beautiful, pleasant place.

Bad service, overpriced drinks and full of posers. Come on down 👇

Very nice place, prices are affordable and the servers are friendly.

superr fun, one of my fav cafes in amsterdam

5 stars - Coolest Spot in North Amsterdam Skatecafé Karin & Yvonne is such a cool hangout! The vibe is on point — great music, laid-back atmosphere, and an authentic underground modern feel. The staff were super friendly and just gave off that fun, welcoming energy. You can tell they enjoy being there, and that really adds to the experience. The skate ramp is a unique touch — perfect for snapping some epic photos and just chilling with friends. Food was tasty too, no complaints. Definitely recommend if you’re in the North and want to escape the busy city center for something a little more raw and real.

Being rejected because im not lhbtiq+

A really great location for an event, or just to have a bite to eat. Very nice staff, nice unique location

The skatepark is very nice and new. It is very spacious, and there is lots of space between obstacles. The music made the vibe amazing, too. The pizza came surprisingly fast. It was juicy and flavorful, but the crust wasn't the greatest. The worker there was very welcoming and friendly.

Nicely cooked chef bas!!! We'll come again 🍻

It's nice , it was a party and it's amazing

Skate cafe manages to walk the thin line between hippy, grunge-y, and strangely enough, elevated. Located in an old factory or commercial building, the walls are covered in graffiti, exposed steel beams are present, and bizarre decor, such as a small car hang from the roof. The dining room itself, has a floor of bare concrete but with elegantly set tables. And probably most distinctive of all, there’s a u-pipe for skaters, although it’s primarily used before dinner time. The bar, kitchen, u-pipe, and dining area are all in this same large room. You can watch your chef assemble your dish, your bartender mix your drink, and a skater do a drop down simultaneously. When you need to use the bathrooms, it’s clear that this location turns into a night club, with graffiti and stickers galore all over a very bare-bones bathroom. The food itself was delicious, I ordered the herb butter and bread, the octopus, and the redfish. Despite being a local’s spot (no English anywhere to be found) the waitstaff was more than accommodating and kind, even going as far as to find a sparkler to stick in a brownie for our friends birthday when we asked, even though this isn’t a tradition in the Netherlands. Only critiques would be the food being on the slightly pricier side, some cocktail glasses not matching the drinks which they contained, and our table having a bit of a wobble. But overall, a fantastic and unique experience, and would come back anytime I’m in Amsterdam again.

One of the best places I've been to party, super fun with three different scenes. The pleasant surprise was also linked to the football field in the middle of the outdoor area.

Unfortunately, the pizzas at the pizzeria at the Skatecafé (Dick & Dick) were not good. The dough was disgusting: soft and without taste, without salt, and the tomato sauce was not tasty either. There was little flavor to the margarita pizza. If the menu only consists of 4 pizzas and there seems to be a good oven, you would think that the pizzas are super good. Unfortunately that was not the case.

Super place. Well, a bit noisy, but that's part of the place.

Nice place, good vibes and service.

We went there Saturday night with a wheelchair and the staff was super nice and kind. The place is accessible and wheelchair friendly and so are the people. The music and the vibes were also awesome 🔥🔥🔥

I came here for a work dinner and the food was honestly so good! Really fun vibe and friendly staff as well, but the food was way above my expectations. I’d love to be back!
