St. James's Gate in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Nice pub with a nice seating area outside to have food & a beer. The ribs were very nice & would recommend them.

The lady who served us was the nicest person we met on holiday. The Guiness was amazing and she even brought our dog some treats. Best experience and we will definitely visit again next time we are over.

To the young black hair guy in the bar who said cannot lift the cover up for 10cm for the tables in the back watch the game: You will see the clipper in the cover as the solution, lazy boy 😉

a cozy bar on the central square

There are many things that are great about this bar but, when these combine, things become superb. Firstly, they know how to keep and serve Guinness - my 5th pint was as good as my first. Second, the staff are slick and on the ball, well managed by Claudia who reads a room like a book. Third, the owner's playlist hasn't a bad song on it and goes to version level detail to polish a shine into the mix. The location is excellent and the food was quick and tasty - give it a visit and bask in the ambience!

Irish pub? Of the 22 beers on tap, there are exactly 8 Irish.....Also many non-Irish bottled beers....a farce to call it an Irish Pub....

We liked this pub. It looked like an authentic Irish pub. The food was pretty good. I had a cheese sandwich. The Irish coffee was authentic.

Great fish & chips 😀 And the beer is also very good 👍

St. James's Gate is a must-visit for anyone looking for an authentic Irish pub experience in Amsterdam! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and traditional, making it the perfect place to relax with a pint. The food was surprisingly good and very satisfying. While the service was friendly, it could be a bit faster during the busier evening hours, but it didn't take away from the great vibe. It’s a fantastic spot with a lot of character and great energy. I'll definitely be coming back for another round!

Pub atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was delicious.

Great place to meet. Lovely staff and great service.

The food and beer were delicious. Cozy place.

Nice pub where you can enjoy a good meal in a cozy atmosphere.

A true Irish pub that lives up to expectations, not your typical tourist spot. Good food and good beers!

The price-performance ratio is completely off. A totally overpriced tourist trap.

Male waitress rude, during early morning too unfriendly, refused to close the door because cold, we had to leave as they were really u polite to us.

This place should get a reward for their worst waiter, the rudest in town, the most impolite, incapable of saying hello, throwing menus on your table without even looking at you, CHANGE YOUR JOB !!! What a terrible behavior !

It was a bad experience. Mostly because the attention was terrible. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place.

Great place. Special thank you to Andreas. He has such a great personality!!!

A really nice bar right in the center of Amsterdam. The atmosphere is rather quiet inside, which is a shame because the bar is perfect for game nights, singing, and epic sports nights. Good beer, good fries, a good bar. One of the waitresses even gave us some recommendations for places to visit during our stay.

Irish pubs are always good, and this one is no exception. The food is good and tasty, and the staff is friendly, and the Guinness was excellent.

Nice and friendly staff. Guinness, Ijwit, ... What more could you desire :)

Fantastic staff and atmosphere food was fantastic and good value

Waiters are so rude and they put us close to door and they dont care if its cold outside or no and beers are too expensive!

Amazing. Definitely a place I strongly recommend! Phenominal food, friendly staff, great ambiance and location!

A typical Irish pub with good beer, food, and sports on TV. I recommend the fish & chips and ribs.

Very good location. Bitter balls and beers were fantastic. Service was rude and not attempted.

Cozy cafe to watch football. Nicely decorated. There can be some loud Brits there, though.

Good place to watch the football.

Greatest night ever, Guillermo the waiter was the Goat, If you want to have the best pub experience in Amsterdam, i’d definitely go here, Guillermo is your guy.

Decent pub in a busy square, with lots of outdoor seating, great for people watching. Good selection of bottled and draught beers. Staff were friendly. Football on a big screen and a few smaller ones

Was nice food staff were friendly and polite

A very nice Irish pub with friendly staff. The dog was immediately given water. All in all, a lovely pub.

We were there for the Darts World Championship final; everything was broadcast perfectly and the atmosphere was fantastic. I highly recommend going there for a Guinness.

We found this to be our favourite pub in the city easily. Visited on a quieter evening for some pints and it was nice and chill with great music. Visited again during NYE, busier than the last visit but really great atmosphere to be. Service is quick and servers were all really nice and friendly. One of the best Irish Pubs we have visited while travelling.

Very unfriendly and unfair staff they messed up an order and forced us to pay for it waiter and “boss” both very childish never in my life have I experienced service this terrible

A typical pub where you can spend a relaxing evening, drinking a delicious Guinness and enjoying excellent food, including snacks and fish and chips! The people are very nice, but the real highlight is the owner...very kind, she makes you feel at home. A wonderful memory of Amsterdam.

If you dont order every 20 minutes, they have the intention to get you out

Irish pub with a great food menu; everything is delicious and tasty. A warm and welcoming place with excellent service 👋👋 I highly recommend it.

Great place! We had a wonderful time watching the World Darts Championship. Thanks for the great service, Claudia!

Not one to usually leave reviews but i would avoid at all costs. From the moment we entered the waitress was extremely rude and dismissive. So unhelpful, and this was 9am when it had only opened. Chef refused to make scrambled egg instead of fried when we were the only 2 people in the whole place, avoid. So many better and friendly places!!

Excellent service, friendly staff and good food!

The setting, the service, the meal, the atmosphere. Everything was perfect.

Fairly typical Irish Pub with lots of heated outdoor seating. There were more people outside than inside. The food was good with generous portions, adequate beer selection and friendly, attentive bartenders and waitstaff.

Best chips in Amsterdam... Seriously

Very nice atmosphere, the food was very nice, ordered fish and chips and grilled chicken. It was very well done!

Nice location and decent food/drinks. However, it took an hour for our food to come, and when we politely asked the waitress if the food was still coming, she gave my parents a very rude and passive aggressive answer. There was not even an apology. Quite disappointed by this experience.

sorry, but definitely not the best fish n chips in Amsterdam, as they claim

Guiness and beer etc. What else do you expect?

The staff were just the most arrogant, uninterested staff I've ever had the mispleasure of meeting. They slammed my drinks down on the bar. The Guinness was awful and the food was just the dryest piece of cardboard I've ever had the mispleasure of attempting to eat. Not recommended. Stay clear

A nice, atmospheric place, delicious food, and excellent service. I highly recommend it!

Amazing place to get your Guinness! Service especially by Dimi, Ola and Guillermo is just exquisite! Love to come back and have a drink at that place!

I had the entrecot on my first day here in beautiful Amsterdam and the evening before I left in had the fish and and chips. Both great choices. Loved it, the fries and salad I recommend 👌

It’s a fantastic bar, but if you go there,Mr. Guillermo , is the best bartender and host!

The seating is great, the view is amazing, and the food is delicious 👍

Great service, warm thanks to Diana Claudia!!

Not good when in an Irish pub, they "don't know" how many milligrams are in a "pint" 😎

Tavern with quality food, excellent service and atmosphere, thank you Guillermo for your attention

Had a wonderful afternoon enjoying Irish beer, Kilkenny, delicious beef and Guinness pie, football, and Formula 1. Plenty of screens showing sports. Heated terrace right on Museumplein. Inside, it's almost like a real Irish pub, like you'd find in Ireland. Prices are on the high side, but the atmosphere and entertainment more than make up for it.

Great service, but most importantly, delicious beer 🍻

The staff here are very unfriendly. I had a bad experience and won't be returning.

Nice spot location wise, but otherwise a tourist trap. Overpriced even for Amsterdam standards and on top of that, charges even customers to use the bathroom.

I don't usually post reviews, but I just wanted to let you know that the owner, who was the best, lacked any kindness whatsoever. I was with three friends, and before we could even order, we were thrown out because we were a "group." Afterward, we were having a drink in the cafe next door, and then the man at Saint James Gate gave us the finger without any shame. Luckily, we laughed it off, but this is just too bizarre for words.

Nice place. Spareribs are very good here

Great pub and lovely staff. Good choice of beers. Irish breakfast was tasty!

The staff was friendly and attentive. The Pornstar Martini will be my favorite cocktail from now on.👌

A very nice place with a good atmosphere, today it's still nice to eat

Preciosa comida guiso irlandés grandes porciones y un buen precio. Nuestro hotel el Atlanta estaba justo al lado. Volvería allí la próxima vez en Amsterdam.

A winner! Good service and atmosphere. Loved our appetizer

Very good service and tasty food

The Irish stew was nothing to write home about. The gravy in it was thin and the flavoring was average. The stew and one beer cost me a little over 30 euro.

Nice Irish pub in a good location, offering classic bar food and a solid selection of beer. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. Prices were a bit on the higher side for what you get, but overall it was an enjoyable stop.

Stopped here twice during our stay in Amsterdam. Once for an after dinner drink and once for dinner and drinks. Not fancy. I did like that they had blankets out because it was cold the first night we stopped. Food was tasty and delivered quickly. There is no host so it was a little weird trying to figure out the seating, but all in all a good place.

Fine for a drink and a bite to eat, but not very special. The service could be better, we had to wait a long time before we were helped

An Irish Pub with great staff. I recommend it if you want to have a pleasant and quiet time in Rembrandtplein.

Good service but i got a wine bottle that costs €3 in the supermarket for €40 here. And it tastes very bad . I think for €40 you can expect atleast a little bit good wine right?

I got very Nice night, drink and especialy service from Jana and Diana. Deffinetly I will come back.

A very nice, typical Irish bar with good beer and food. Great music and atmosphere, and especially the service. Mateo served us in Spanish and was incredibly attentive. Highly recommended.

My food was really good. I got the fish and chips which was really fresh, crispy and tasty as I like it! Big portion as well for the big price. Drinks as usual, nice draft Guinness was going down fast. The stuff looked busy, because most of the time they did not catch my calling or waving. Also they said that we can not payed separately which was a huge lie, because in the end we did so. Nice place for more people, foodwise lovely for sure

Wir waren hier auf einem Samstagmittag. Hatten uns einen Tisch gesucht und gewartet. Nach einer Weile wurde die Speisekarte gebracht. Wir haben zwei Bier bestellt. Leider hat es auch etwas gefeiert. Ich muss den vorhergehenden Bewertung Recht geben die Bedienung ist wirklich nicht sehr freundlich aber das ist sehr gemütlich. Schön dunkel und bequem und bei einem Guinness sieht man sogar über die Bedienung hinweg Also zu empfehlen, wenn man einfach ruhig das Essen und Trinken will . Wenn man vom Kellner verwöhnt werden will, nicht zu sehr.

Very nice breakfast and friendly service...

There is a racist waitress who has an attitude towards non-white people that's abhorrent and absolutely despicable. Totally opposite to how Irish people are in Ireland. Best to avoid. Nothing in common with the fighting Irish who give a shit about other cultures.

Very tasty waiterd are kind and you should vome

Were in Amsterdam for a short trip over a few days. The service was super good and it was quick too. Good atmosphere, nice ambience and fair prices. Would come back immediately!!!!!!

Come here regularly for lunch..😁👍

While traveling in the Netherlands, I stopped by an Irish pub. Seeing as there were a lot of British guests, I expected it to be traditional British and of a high standard. I ordered English breakfast and fish and chips, and both were delicious. The English breakfast was good except that the bacon was a bit salty, and the toast was especially well-cooked and delicious. The fish and chips were grilled a bit thickly, but they were evenly cooked on the inside and there was no fishy smell at all. The house beer had a light lager style feel. The fish and chips are in the upper-middle class even by local British standards, so it's worth recommending.

They wouldn't put the rugby on, so we went to Cocos Aussie bar to watch Munster play... go figure.

Had nice breakfast here today 😋

Ridiculous prices and unfriendly staff, definitely not recommended.

Good choice of draft beers, nice terrace with heating and blankets, nice atmosphere, oke food. Not cheap though, but hey! It's Rembrandplein. We had a good waiter but in the Netherlands you never know what you get🤔. But don't try to speak Dutch, Dutch waiters don't exist anymore in Amsterdam.

Had a lovely English Breakfast. Absolutely delicious. A good sized plate !

It sounded like they were breaking or slamming dishes and glasses. Outside seating is better.

Amazing place for Irish Experience. Ideally located in Rembrandtplein, just infront of the square. Good selection of beers and other drinks. Snacks and Main Courses tasted good. Third visit....

Little bit expensive but on a sunday night they had a band, and everyone was dancing. Heating outside with blankets, it was very "gezellig!".

Very well located place with live sports broadcast, very lively, many types of draft beer and very good food. In addition, a Spanish waiter (Guillermo) who advised us and treated us wonderfully. Highly recommended

Tried their fish and chips and cottage pie. Liked the pie more ;)

Beautiful Irish pub, staff are so friendly and full of conversation. Can't fault them in the slightest...highly recommend

Great bar, good selection of drinks, friendly service, great for watching sport.

Expensive beer and they take your blankets 30min before they close so you can freeze 🥶

Overpriced. We asked for glasses for the beers and they didn’t bring any. We were asked to give the blankets back because there were closing and the guy just literally pulled up the blanket from my chair while I was standing. Terrible place, terrible service.
