Uiltje Bar in Oude Stad

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.

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.

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

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!

The serve delicious burgers in the back of the bar. I mean really delicious, lot’s of choice too. Beers are also nice, of course ;)

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!!!!

Excellent Swedish dipa. Still, if you have to pay €7.90 for 0.25 cl, that detracts quite a bit from the taste! Furthermore, nice service, possibility to taste and apparently serves good burgers.

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.

Cool bar with 20 taps. You can order 4 tasting glasses on a shelf to get acquainted with the beers.

Great range of craft beer with expert knowledge. Delicious (the best in Haarlem so far) Burgers, which are served there independently of Uiltje by #grillin' in the name Recommended… very cozy, feels like a neighborhood café

They try to hard, the beers are weird, we took a 5 beer tasting option. I didn't like any. The place is too woke for my taste

Always fun, with the beer sommelier behind the bar!

Great selection of beers, both theirs and guests, and helpful, friendly staff. Beers were of a high standard.

Last Saturday we did a beer and food pairing at Uiltje Bar with a group of 10 people. We were a little early, but we were greeted kindly and were able to sit down. We tasted several beers with different flavors. The food pairings that were provided were very tasty and surprising and made the tasting a true taste experience! Definitely recommended if you are in Haarlem!

Atmosphere is good, beer is good and the food is delicious. We came for the burgers, but unfortunately the chef was not there. The pizzas we got were tasty too.

Nice place, well informed about the beers and the cheese board. Too bad the benches and table were not yet dry after the paint job ;-)

I was very curious about this tent. I am a fan of the owl beer and often buy it in the supermarket in Amsterdam. Now finally in Haarlem I come to Uilltje with my girlfriend. The first thing I notice is that food and drinks are charged separately. No problem of course, but different than I am used to. I order some beer at the bar and a burger at the other internal tent. I pay neatly. I get a nice burger and nice beer as always. Until a boy with short hair comes to our table. I ask, because I'm not used to it, whether I can order food or drinks now. I don't know the concept and ask about the condition... well I get outraged. Also a sneer from him. 'Yes you should understand, food and beer are separate' 'you are from Amsterdam' and he said he felt attacked. In which I said why, I just wanted to know if I could order food or beer? Then he walked away. I also left with a strange feeling in my stomach. Very unfortunate and I got the feeling as if I was not welcome. I won't be back.

Love the atmosphere and beer selection

Cozy little bar with kind staff

Lucky if you can sit outside, not much space. The craft beers are among the best

Lovely beer cafe, knowledgeable staff and many beers on tap. There is something for every taste, even several malt beers available. Definitely worth it!!

We loved the experience in this bar! First of all the vibes, absolutely great! I loved the interiors, the availability of table games and the toilets completely covered in uiltje labels. We wanted to try a beer tasting and I found it great that you can decide which beers to include in your 4 sample tasting. Also, the personnel is very knowledgeable and can guide you through the choice. Absolutely worth a visit!

Last week enjoying another extreme and just awesome beer. One of the best pubs in Haarlem with high quality craft beer.

Bartender had a lot of knowledge about beer and the area. Beers were tasty. Felt a bit soulless inside, maybe because it was a quiet Tuesday during the summer holidays 😀

We went all the way from Utrecht just to find out that they were closing 2 hours ahead of normal time, so we had time for just one beer. At least some post on instagram would have been nice. I love the beer, which is a pity. Was expecting more of this bar

Nice cozy location with a wide choice of beer from the Het Oiltje brewery. The smell from the kitchen was somewhat less.

Top place for nice beers, delicious cheeses and tasty pizza. Not to be missed when you are in Haarlem.

This place is freaking expensive, minimum 6 euros for 25cl, craft beer craft beer, but this is theft!

A friendly bar with a good range of beers from Uiltje brewery

Nice brewery, lots of beers, pleasant atmosphere.

Great beers and fantastic service. Really good vibe. Wish I’d had the food…next time.

Nice bar, lots of beer choices, but you had to wait a long time to be helped because there was only 1 person behind the bar

Great selection of beers, nice atmosphere in the bar and you can also get a really good burger. Unfortunately though,what would have been a five star rating, is only a three because of the absolutely abysmal service. It seems like a few other people have experienced this as well, judging from the reviews. I wasn't once asked if I wanted another beer, even when taking away my empty glass. I ordered four different beers and each time I had to force myself to get one ordered. It is as if the staff wear blinkers. People were getting served who were clearly not before me and even people offered drinks when they still had beer remaining in their glass. It is not nice being made to feel invisible and soured the whole experience, which is unfortunate.

I didn't eat but will definitely go back.

Top place with lots of delicious beers and good food.👍

Cozy atmosphere and a large selection of beers! 😊

My to go place to have a good time with friends in Haarlem. Extensive list of available quality tap beer (around 30), super friendly staff, and great atmosphere.

Great place to try some delicious beer. Always nice vibe and knowledgeable staff. The burgers are top quality!

Great range of beers and the staff are very friendly. Would certainly return.

Great beer selection great atmosphere. Recommended

The beer is good, but the food is average. There is no doubt that it is one of the leading breweries in the Netherlands.

Had a nice drink. But the best was the bartender. Super nice, also lets people taste things outside their comfort zone.

One can of alcohol-free beer here was over 10 euros. Completely insane price for just a can. They couldn't find it in their system at first, so they couldn't tell me the price. Then after I drank it, they said it was over 10 euros. This was quite a shock and ruined my first experience here.

This is hands down our favorite local spot. Joost and the team are friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about beer. The tap list is always interesting, usually half Uiltje and half other breweries. Plus there is a fridge with great non-alcoholic options and cans from all over.

It was my first time and I thought it was fun and tasty “when life gives you lemons” very tasty Unfortunately the kitchen was not yet open

We have been coming here for years and love all the beers here, and it is also very nice that the dog is welcome. The only pity is that lately when we visit we can hardly get a seat and so we have to go somewhere else while we come to Haarlem specifically for Uiltjebar.

Really great (but correspondingly expensive) beers, nice staff, and yummy burgers.

Excellent beer. A cramped pub and only orders at the bar (even though it was not busy). The staff was not unfriendly, but did not seem enthusiastic either.

Cozy bar with lots of beers and tasty pizzas! Oh, and friendly and knowledgeable staff too. Top!

Pizza Margherita was delicious 😋. But the service was quite bad. You have to go to the bar, order, bring beers to the table and remember who ordered what. Trust me, it doesn’t work. You’re likely to drink a beer you didn’t order. We went on Easter day and the line was really big. Waiting time of more than 15 minutes. One of the bartenders was quite mean. Also, you had to specify if you serve the beers inside to receive the proper glasses, otherwise you would get the plastic ones. The last one was the quantity of beer you receive: depending on the type of glass 0.25 cl is not the same amount. 🫠

Amazing with a lot of beers ❤️ also a Blue One!

Top beer café with beautiful beers! If you are stressed about choosing between the 30 tap beers, there are many options to taste: regular size (25 cl), smaller glasses (15 cl) or a series of four tasting glasses. This way you can enjoy all those goodies to the fullest. Great atmosphere, very friendly bartender who can also give advice about what is on offer if desired. We were here once in 2020 during a city trip to Amsterdam, this time we chose Haarlem as the destination for our three-day outing and although there are many nice beer cafes in Haarlem, we still chose Uiltje several times for another tasty and surprising beer! Recommended :-)

Delicious beers, but they run out of money quickly

Great beer with regularly changing taps at a cozy bar. The burgers are a nice touch and recommended when pairing with beers. I always get the beer flights and am happy to see they serve it with an extra glass of water to cleanse the palette. My favourite bar in Haarlem!

What good service! Went to lamb for the first time today. Helped by a nice girl behind the bar, Irini. Very hospitable and friendly. Would definitely come here more often
