Skybox Amstel in Wijk 05 Oost

One of Utrecht's coziest and oldest cafés. No radio, no name-calling, Niek Veerman loves a pleasant atmosphere. And the drinks are sublime, especially his open wines.

After a long time, nuts are finally available. Staff could be a bit friendlier. The atmosphere is created by the guests and it is good. It is a typical beer pub. Many types of beer.

A truly great place hosting so many different creative events. The people are all volunteers, they do it for the community, for artists for friends - a fine place they should be proud of.

I very rarely give a 5 star review but we came in here. My partner dehydrated because the air conditioning didn't work enough on a 36 degree day. And they immediately got a chair and a glass of water and everything you could wish for and were extremely extremely helpful far and beyond what can normally be expected from a thank you cafe. Thanks guys for helping my girlfriend and me, you are heroes.

Here on May 24, 2025, a look behind the scenes. The history of vandeStreek was discussed and how the company has grown to what it is today. This was done by an enthusiastic girl, she also deserves five stars. There is a wide choice of specialty beers and they also taste excellent. A real recommendation for the beer lover. Afterwards we also received glasses as a gift.
