Uiltje Bar in Oude Stad

Lots of delicious and surprising beers on tap. Great fun to sample different types, and very tasty snacks too!

Great bar with one of the widest and coolest selections of IPA beers. And really friendly and helpful bar lady.

Renger ... ! Really someone who knows how his beers taste ...💖.

One of the best European beers is brewed in Haarlem, and they have a small, cozy bar there with a good selection of beers (mostly hoppy). And even better: a knowledgeable, very pleasant, and friendly waitress with great recommendations.

Nicest bar in Haarlem!!!! Absolutely amazing

Cool spot right in the middle of Haarlem. They really have a huge selection of Uiltje specialty beers. We did a tasting where we got to choose our own beers, highly recommended! The staff is relaxed and open, and the fact that you get free water is a big plus. It's certainly not cheap, so bring a well-stocked wallet, but as far as I'm concerned, it's absolutely worth it 🍻

Quite pricey, and I'm not much of a fan of the tasting with the really ridiculously small glasses either. I really expected more from the Uiltje bar.

Great find just walking around Haarlem. Had number 25 and 30. 80s music...yeah!

Just buying a quick juice to take home after the concert... will definitely come back to Haarlem to enjoy a quiet beer here.

Fantastic beer selection. Knowledgeable, friendly service. Great shop.

Cozy place to have a beer. Taking a seat at the bar is highly recommended. The staff are open to nice interaction and can explain the different types of beer very well.

Worthless barmaid, spent more time on the phone than with customers. I did get my beer, but my wife's glass was half full when tapping, after which the keg was empty. That can happen, of course, but you just mention it and then you get either another glass or they mention they are changing the keg and you get your beer a bit lower, but nothing of the sort; this glass just stayed half full under the tap??. When paying, they wanted to charge for 2 beers? No thanks, never again for us!

Best bar in town. Great beers, nice vibes, friendly staff!

Great vibe, fun to try different beers, and a wonderfully diverse crowd.

Always good! Top beer selection

Eyes closed and beaks shut, but we are never going to this place again.

🇬🇧 Menu below 🇹🇼 🇩🇪 Special menu under 🇳🇱 Menu here Went here on April 12th, 2026. We got in, but there was no staff, although there were already 2 tables with people drinking. We had to wait for the staff to come out to work, which was after almost 20 minutes.... The beer was nice, though. There were other customers drinking, but the staff went to the back and didn't come out for almost 20 minutes... but the beer was good.

Very cozy pub with knowledgeable staff who are happy to help you and tell you more about their beers.

Fun bar. Good beer, cool staff and good atmosphere. If you like beer and are in Haarlem it is well worth a visit.

Best burgers in Harlem and one of the best in the Netherlands.

Very wide selection of tasty beers

delicious pizza with amazing IPA

Lovely staff, great beer selection (both guest beers and Uiltje brews), nice atmosphere. Will definitely come again when in Haarlem.

Uiltje Bar is a lovely spot to grab a beer in old brewery in Haarlem. The atmosphere is cosy and very easy-going, making it a great place to relax with friends or start an evening out. They have a great selection of beers with lots of choices, especially if you enjoy trying different styles. It’s also nice that you can order some small snacks to go along with your drinks. The only thing to keep in mind is that it can get busy quite quickly, especially later in the evening. If you want a more relaxed spot to sit, it’s better to come a bit earlier. Overall, a great bar for good beers and a laid-back vibe.

Been there several times. Always good beers on tap and staff with the beer knowledge to help you find the perfect next specialty beer. Great!

Really nice place, with alot of atmosphere. Cozy space, food was very tasty. I had a Paingriller, it was very delicious. 😋

SAD when your staff stands outside to piss people off!

This was one of my stops while bar-hopping in Haarlem on Valentine's Day. I was already a bit tipsy when I walked in, but the staff was welcoming and relaxed. I was able to sit at the bar by myself. I already liked their beer, and this evening didn't disappoint. I'll definitely be back with friends next time.

Best beer selection in town, foreign and more uncommon beers too. Always a surprise. Recommended!

Great service and drinks! Andre gave us an excellent experience, and didn’t hesitate to help us and give recommendations. Definitely come by on your visit to Haarlem! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nice place but it is regularly out of Guinness on Saturdays

The best choice of local and international craft beers in Haarlem. Great service, very helpful. I recommend for all the beer lovers out there.

Nice beer bar. The taps are quite expensive, especially compared to the other craft beer cafes in Haarlem. It's a shame that, contrary to what the website says, they don't really serve lunch. Only sausage and cheese. Ultimately, I decided to have lunch elsewhere after drinking two beers on an empty stomach.

Lots of great special beers on tap!

What a great place to taste delicious beers, the drinks platter could be a bit better

We had a great time with friends! This place has a large variety of tasty beers, friendly staff, nice atmosphere :)

If you want to try unique beers, you've come to the right place. They have 30 different beers on tap. They also have low-alcohol beer. For those who have to drive :). You can order cheeses and other things. The atmosphere is friendly and informal.

Those barrels stacked everywhere really created such a cool atmosphere, a bit industrial yet cozy. The beer was nice and cold and full of flavor; I could have easily had two more. The service was relaxed, although they briefly forgot about our nachos, but they sorted it out later. The music was a bit loud, but it fit the overall atmosphere.

Fun life bar friendly bartender

Excellent fries and kebabs. Very clean and open late at night.

Really cozy place!! Will be back

A beer bar for beer lovers. That's all you need to know.

A busy, noisy bar, but always good laughs. The DJ sometimes plays odd songs, but that's what makes it fun. Cold beers, sharp service, relaxed atmosphere. Sometimes there's a bit of pushing and shoving at the bar, but never any arguments.

A good place to have some delicious beers. The place is pleasant and has a good atmosphere. Recommended.

A wonderful bar for a (craft) beer. Professional and friendly staff. 32 taps, so the selection is enormous! Especially for IPA lovers. So don't expect many dubbels or trippels. They do have stouts in all percentages, sours, and some seasonal beers. They also have excellent cheese and meat platters, not to mention the pizzas. The atmosphere, the taste—in short, highly recommended.

Absolutely amazing experience of Haarlem and dutch beer 🍻 we had a tasting with paired cheeses and purchased some canned beer for later. Barman was on top of everything — he knew what we want, when we want and offered his guidance on all the beers and cheese pairings. This was our top Haarlem experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A family atmosphere, I felt so welcome here. My husband and I highly recommend it. 🍺 Excellent beer, top-notch service. 👌

beerable, you don't need to know anything more.

They serve delicious burgers in the back of the bar. I mean really delicious, lots of choice too. Beers are also nice, of course ;)

Great Place for craftbeer. 30 on tap

Great beer selection. West coast IPAs excellent

Come here to drink beer, listen to music and laugh

Today I was introduced to the Uiltje as a bar for the first time. We had a tasting of four beers that you can choose from. The service was very friendly. The beers were delicious, especially with a piece of cheese 😉.

I'm a big fan of Uiltje's beers, and the bar was definitely recommended. There's a wide selection of taps and a wide variety of beers. (There are also many from guest breweries, but we didn't try any of those). They also offer a small tasting with four tasting glasses. This gives you the chance to try lots of new things. A really great place to visit while in town. And the restroom has a nice surprise when you enter.

Nice place with their own beer! So many choices and you can ask staffs to recommend any beer you like to try. They are friendly and helpful. Thanks for good evening.

Excellent service and delicious beer, a wide variety of flavors.

If you like your craft ale then this little bar is about your only place in town. Good job then it's a keeper. The town by the way is really pretty, but then you will know that by the time you have found this place. A couple of benches outside in the sun an indoor window seat then a darker seating area which leads to a separately owned burger place. You can order both beer and burger but you pay each place separately. The bar also does a cheese pairing - beer and cheese are most agreeable bed fellows, but I'm rotund enough. The burgers looked fair price in a pricy country. Beers came in at around 9.50 Euros for a 44cl glass. Rather steep if you want 5, but fine to savour a couple. Compared to the rubbish mass produced lager on tap in many bars elsewhere, Im worth it. The beers are more often served in 25cl glasses or you can have a flight of 4 different 15cl for i think around 13E. Most of the guests were sampling 4. Noteworthy in a country where the folk tend to be fit and skinny cyclists, your average beer drinker in here was rather more padded than average. No one told me that when I was 20. A great choice of beer on the taps, some local some German and one or two British (I saw a tasty looking Track collaboration with a German brewery on offer). As is the way in this world, most are over 6% but there were a couple in the 5 -6% range (my usual travelling sweetspot as I dont want to wander around slaughtered) and one under 5%. Beer was well kept and perfectly pleasant. Choice of blonde, IPA, wheat, larger, dark and sour so something for everyone. Bar nice and tidy but suitably Boho. The gents loos is to the right and behind a slightly concealed door before the little step up. Glad JK Rowling wasnt in, as most of the men were using the ladies. She would have had a meltdown.

Visited twice in one day it was so good.Sarah behind the bar was an excellent host and made us feel comfortable and at home.Plenty of local craft beers to choose from and a very laid back atmosphere.Thanks again Sarah for making our visit so memorable.Will return again. Terry

We had a really good stay in the Uiltje Bar! The staff had been super friendly and gave us explanations to the different sorts of beer. We really enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next visit. Thank you! ^^

Popped in to this impressive little taproom for 1 beer, wish we could have stayed for more! Guy behind the bar was very welcoming and happily gave us a few beer recommendations. I ended up having the Chocolate, raspberry and caramel sour which was a b dutiful balance of sweet, sour and interesting. Played a few quick rounds of Jenga and then had to head off, but I wish we could have stayed for hours. The Cheese board looked awesome and the Pizzas sound incredible. I’ll be back for sure!🍻

In the middle of Haarlem a small cafe of the Netherlands' tastiest specialty beer with a village feeling inside. 30 different, and not just Uiltje, beers on tap. It is a bit pricey, but that is okay for once, especially if you are a fan of Uiltje. If you are hungry, there is a guy in the back of the shop who makes delicious burgers and such. The only pity is that it can be really busy, so you might not have a spot. The stools at the box are actually just too low for people under 1.75m, including me. Nevertheless, a very nice cafe with a nice atmosphere and delicious beer, more than worth the hour's travel!

We had a great beer tasting here with a cocktail nut. We were very satisfied, the beer was tasty and the nuts too. The service was good and the place had a nice atmosphere. It was a bit pricey for what you got but in my opinion it was worth it. I would definitely go there again.

I was on my way somewhere else, but walked by and was drawn in by the large collection of beers. The Juicy Lucy is a great NEIPA. They also have an extensive snack menu ( I had the duck rilette) and there is a separate burger shop in the back.

I'll come back for dinner later. What a beautiful place.

Super nice bar with lots of beers on tap, definitely recommended if you like specialty beers.

Nice pub. Tasty pizza and lots of tasty beers

If you're a beer lover, this is the place you were looking for. There are plenty of beers to choose on the menu. From mild to very bitter beers.

Great craft beer bar with friendly staff. Nice place to hang out.

Very nice bar, which serves as a taproom for the famous Uiltje brewery. The craft beer selection is excellent, with nitro and cask beers. The cheese snacks are superb. However, the prices are very high.

Amazing place! We absolutely loved the variety of beers available!

Nice bar with a large assortment of beers, both Uiltje and other breweries. Were there at a quiet moment, and could order quickly. Also a large selection of non-alcoholic beers.

Cozy and friendly spot offering a fantastic range of Uiltje brews along with some great guest beers. As a Ukrainian fan who used to buy Uiltje beers in local supermarkets, I was thrilled to visit the real source of these amazing drinks. The atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, and the craft beers are absolutely delicious. A must-visit for any craft beer lover in Haarlem!

One of my favorite places in Haarlem an absolute must for beer lovers and anyone else actually. The beer is just 👌🏻

Delicious selection of excellent beers. Lovely service. The food really lets them down. They have some bizarre burgers in the back served by a different company. I really think they should just expand and improve the also not great snacks in the front.

Great place with a wide variety of craft beers. Perfect for beer lovers! They also offer delicious snacks and burgers. Friendly staff

Very chill, I was looking for a cheese board for dessert and the owl bar completely fulfilled this wish. Of course accompanied by an IPA and tripel from the owl. 4 cheeses for 16 eu. Perfect!

I was helped by a nice, tall, handsome bartender, he was extremely helpful and knew the beers well. Top experience!

Fantastic craft beers (best in NL?) and burger bar is equally good!

This is a great bar if you like good beers. The owner is a very nice, friendly man who will help you choose a nice beer. Nice atmosphere!

Good beer, nice people, no food, and the heat was cranked up. On entering my glasses fogged up like I was coming into a ski lodge 😁

Uiltje Bar is a must-visit for beer lovers in Haarlem. The selection is top-notch, with a rotating lineup of craft brews and a staff that actually knows their stuff. And the burgers? Easily the best in town—juicy, flavorful, and the perfect match for a cold pint. Whether you're here for a quick drink or a full meal, you won’t be disappointed!

Lovely small and cozy bar for Craft Beer from 't Uiltje and also various guest beers from the region and other countries. Small but nice, perhaps the biggest contrast with that famous Church a little further away... The bartender (Joost) was very friendly and offered a warm welcome. With more than 30 beers on tap and some in bottles and cans, so there is something for everyone and enough for a nice session. The most important thing is that there is a quick change of beers, and we work with small kegs. In addition, there is also a beer available on Cask by Handpump, which is actually a system from the United Kingdom. This can only be found in a handful of places throughout the Netherlands, so it is unique. A pleasure to see and taste this served. Then the food. Uiltje Bar itself offers various pizzas and in-house Burgers are made by Grillin' in the Name at the back of the bar (independent of 't Uiltje). As far as I read, these burgers are very good, unfortunately I arrived too early to taste them. Within the snacks, the range of cheeses is particularly striking, very refined with the various beers. But my best tip for a tasty bite to eat with beer; go to "the neighbors" Mama Mojo for a delicious Bàhn Mi Pork Belly (pork belly) sandwich, for example. This is marinated to perfection and prepared using Slow Cooking. Believe me, if you're into beer, nothing can beat a Pork Belly Sandwich, especially the one from Mama Mojo :) Craft Beer meets Craft Cooking. In short; I am very happy that I went to Uiltje Bar, it was a pleasure.

40 beers on tap. Food looked good too!

Very cozy bar with about 30 taps. Many beers from Uiltje itself that always taste great. Also a number of guest breweries on tap. The staff is knowledgeable and can provide the necessary advice regarding beer selection. Highly recommended if you are in Haarlem.

Very extensive range of tasty beers. The pizzas served with it will not win a Michelin star, but they are simply delicious. There is a wide choice of meats and cheeses, but no bitterballen: that is a sign of a good café. In addition, the Uiltje bar is within walking distance of the Jopenkerk, making both bars easy to combine. But this is only necessary if the wide choice of beers at Uiltje is not enough for you!

What a nasty little tent!! And no one came by with beer, nice to Jopen church much better🍻

Booked together with the group for 7 people. Upon arrival it turned out that we could fit a maximum of 4 people at the table. If we waited until people at the table behind us left, we were able to move them together but within a few minutes 2 new customers were pointed to this table. Now we went to the Jopenkerk with great pleasure and are really enjoying ourselves here.

Decent place where we do come back often. The place is not very big and often very busy on weekends. The beer is very good and there is a lot of choice. The staff were a bit of a hit or miss, many were very friendly but some a bit grumpy.

If you are in Haarlem and you like beer, a visit to the Uiltje bar should not be missed!

There are so many beers on tap! Very impressive, but it could be overwhelming. The guy serving helped us find the perfect beers with tasters and excellent recommendations. We had 3 different IPAs and 3 different stout/porters, and all were outstanding! If you like beer, go here.

Damn fine beers with damn fine collaborations. Reasonably priced, a cozy interior, and friendly staff make this a nice bar to go to. The food options they have are just as good as their beers.

We didn't eat so can't comment on the food. But we loved this place. Visited twice and both the ladies behind the bar were lovely. A great selection of beers and chilled atmosphere.

Great place to grab some biers and burgers before a show around the corner.

30 different types of beer on tap. Regular tap takeovers from craft brewers at home and abroad. For "beer geeks" who visit Haarlem, this is a must-visit place.

The Uiltje Bar is a cozy place with a wide choice of specialty beers. Perfect to taste and enjoy a delicious cheese board. Definitely recommended!

Uiltje Bar, you must have been there. And that is really true! Delicious beers and a great atmosphere among the guests. Unfortunately there was a lady behind the bar who didn't seem to be into it. Especially when you sit at the bar, this detracts from the experience!

I think this cafe is too expensive. I visit many specialty cafes and can therefore make good comparisons. The number of tables and chairs is too many. Therefore, the seating distance is small. The beers are also fine.

Uiltje Bar in Haarlem is a great bar! Had a good with some beers and a laid-back vibe. There is lots of beer from tap to choose from. You can get some food here as well but have not tried it yet. There are board games you can use. There is friendly staff, good crowd, and overall just a cool place to chill. Definitely recommend!

finally a bar where bartenders are beer experts. I got to taste and get suggestions on which beers to order based on my previous orders. amazing!!!!

Really nice brewery tucked away in Haarlem. Really great beer selection on tap of their own as well as guest taps. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly, took great care of us. They do have food available there, which I do wish I would have known before going as I would have liked to have tried their pizza. Highly recommend.
