Ziggy's Bar in Burgwallen-Oude Zijde

No alcohol in cocktails, tourist scam

Badest Long island ice tea we‘ve ever had! No alcohol at all for 14€. Never again

Expensive, an Amstel Radler and a draft beer €21, just as they bring you the drink you get the dataphone in desperation, it seems very inelegant to me, I'm not a criminal nor would I leave without paying. The good thing, they offer payment facilities, I was able to leave my kidney as a payment method.

It’s frozen pizza and crap like that, way over heated in a microwave. I literally burned my lips on the cheese sticks. 4 drinks, 1 microwave pizza, 2 paninis, a hot dog that we never got, 120 euro. We packed up and left, the burn on my lip may end up being a funny story later, but we regret waisting one of our meals here with so many other great options. The service, however was awesome.

Really cute bar! That’s about all the good I can say though. Our poor server, bless her, did well at being the only one working doing food and drinks and serving. Drinks were very expensive and the food was obviously frozen and just heated up.

Expensive and shit. Don't bother 😂

Fantastic bar staff, always made us welcome

6 drinks coming to a cost of €85, one coke one beer 2wines and 2coke and vodka. This was a crazy amount, when going to pay on card both my cards were declined so we had to pay cash. (Both cards worked fine anywhere else. If drinking here check prices before you order, they put the Dam in Amsterdam!

Even though the Menu said one price then the waitress charged another one. €17 for a Guinness and a small bottle of Radler (200 ml). Avoid this bar at all cost

Super expensive, the guy changes the prices at the moment

I'm so embarrassed that I brought my family here and it's the most disappointing pizza (like a cheap frozen one). Sangria has nothing to do with the original one. Red bull was good though. P.s. went back second time on football game because there were no other places available on July 10th, 2024. We figured we would order some snacks because how can you screw that up, but yet they did... their chips were stale and ran out half way through the game. The bitter ballen were the worst that we ever had. On to the drinks, martini was from a premade mix, was not at all the original taste, but it was still 14-15 euros just like a real homemade cocktail. We only went because it was the only place with a table to watch the game.

My favourite spot in Amsterdam, visit everytime

We just stopped for drinks. What surprised me was the fact that the waiter came with the bill and we had to pay as soon as drinks arrived. I guess if we ordered seconds we have to pay every time. Not that is bothering me, is just strange. The terrace was cute, with view towards the church.

Despite the seemingly ideal location, you shouldn’t stop to drink here. The bartender who served us was extremely rude. His manner was that of distain towards his customers who ordered soft drinks, despite the order coming to €24. He also added a 10% tip to the charge without informing us. Furthermore, the bartender couldn’t have been less accommodating, replying in a short and aggressive tone when denying a request to make a Cafe Latte (an item on the drinks menu) despite the bar being close to empty. The toilets inside were disgusting, with no locks on the male toilet doors. To make matters so much worse, not even a single David Bowie song was played!

Rude service and automatically adds service charge - poor show

Way overpriced. Charges 1€ for tap water. Sneakily adds tip to the bill. Better options in the area.

Lovely bar man, to the other reviews about using the toilets, if you’re using the establishment for just the toilets, you will be expected to purchase something? Brilliant atmosphere and music ☺️

Great little spot to grab a beer and have a chat with the bartender

I wish I could leave 0 star for this establishment but unfortunately Google won't let me. This is the worse place to go in Amsterdam, staff is absolutely awfully unpleasant and make you feel most unwelcomed. I guess the one star will go for the fact they have a billard available maybe 🤷🏼‍♂️ Avoid at all cost!

Got an espresso martini which tasted like water. The staff refused to taste it, and would not make a new one, the reason was that this was how their boss had teached them how to do it 😂

The waiter, pleasant, what is said pleasant, is not. I went to the bathroom and there was no lock. I had to pee holding the door. When I left I put soap on my hands but the tap didn't provide water. I had to rinse off in the men's bathroom.

Top atmosphere, top playlist, good beers, top service 🫡

Terrible service and terrible Spritz.

Nice bar, really bad service and not clean

We drank lots of beers and had Aperol, pizza etc for 3-4 hours. We stopped at some time and we were not drinking for the last 20 minutes. They requested us to leave because we did not want anything to drink in the empty pub… I will not be going even around anymore.

They said us to “go” out of the pub because we are not giving anymore orders after we had 5 beers, 2 aperols and 1 pizza while they are having free tables, no lines and we had our last drink like 30 min ago. Just terrible terrible service, won’t come there again and don’t recommend.

Music ok, owner(?) rude, couldn’t setup a tab, asked for a large and got told “we aren’t mcdonald’s” spend your money elsewhere, no tab? at a BAR?

Don’t go to this bar. Even though it looks cozy, they rip off tourists want to use toilet . Well I’m not even tourist but yeah, this is the conversation o had with the barman - B: how can I help you - we’re going to the toilet - is for customer only - I can pay for you - no it doesn’t work - can I get a bottle of water ? - 4.00 - ok can I use the toilet ? - now yes And the charge was 4.50 ….

We paid 34 euros for 2 cocktails instead of 24 euros. The prices were already exorbitant but for asking for 2 glasses of water, we paid 10 euros more??? Clearly theft.

⚠️⚠️⚠️ TOURIST TRAP ⚠️⚠️⚠️ TOURIST TRAP ⚠️⚠️⚠️

While we sat with my daughter and my son ordered a big beer an old guy wearing glasses asked me and my daughter if we wanted to drink or eat and we said thanks. He responded very rudely as you are sitting in my terrace then you need to eat or drink and I said my son is already drinking and we don’t want to do so. And he left with rude manners. Hr also replied my son’s request at the toilet for soap as this is an Amsterdam bar and did not give any soap. The four days we spent in this amazing and nice city with very nice people and this is the first place we had to embrace this level of rudeness. These type of places are shame for the cities and we as customers should be aware and make the difference between the good and bad.

Warning about the place! Pints ​​and drinking glasses were all rinsed in the same washing water, after which the soap was used again. Didn't drink Heineken.

They charge you more than drink are in menu.. not recommended

Nice bar but the owner hates his life

One of the bartenders very rude. Not much available

The worst place I've ever been, the worst bar and the worst bartender. The behavior of the waiters towards customers is really unnerving. The looks and sarcastic comments that constantly bother us, such people should not be in the market. The toilets don't even have doors, everyone including the bartender is drunk and aggressive. What problem do you have? Everyone is in a good mood in the Netherlands, learn from other people!!

Be careful tourist trap!!! Cubra libre ordered. We received it Captain Morgen with lemon, MINT and Cola. Outrageous prices, even for Amsterdam!!!

A few drinks at that place. Nice staff. Toilet very miserable.

We ordered 2 pints of the famous HK 15 euros on the menu, we were charged 17 euros, when we asked for an explanation "because we work for that", and well what would it be like if you didn't work champion!

The price is way too high. Not even a glass with the soft drinks for this price, forced to drink from the bottle. To go to the toilet it's worthy of Fort Boyard.

For alcoholics If I could I would put a 0 Destined to disappear. You try to order coffee and they tell you no, you try to go to the bathroom and they tell you that if you don't order you can't go, when they just denied you service, they only want to sell alcohol.

Avoid! Cocktails no go . Wine no choice. Rubbish from start to finish. Go next door , delightful 👍

Quiet little bar, lovely barman, reasonably priced, delicious cocktail!

Everything was great, it’s in a central location so the prices were fine for me, the staff was very polite and kind both times I went there, I will definitely be back!

As smiling as an original exhaust from a 7r, ad7r insta Nsm the boss

Very kind service, I have no words except perfect and friendly. If you are looking for a pleasant company, this is the right place for you!

Almost cheating when paying. requires 3 euros for separate payment and generally bad atmosphere

The waiter was nice, but the bartender charged us all 3 euros extra per person, because we wanted to split the bill. That’s just not ok.

There are warm drinks on menu but bar guys said no warm drinks. Ordered a cider with €6 and waited rain to stop. My friend ordered a 2% alcohol beer with €8. Our hair were wet, asked tissue but only got one piece of tissue.

Very nice bar ! The owner is very friendly

Tried to rip us off for 2 AU drinks saying we hadn't hadn't payed enough even though they admitted to a mistake. Shocking

Definitely not the best cocktails 🍹 but sitting outside people watching was nice 👍🏼

7€ for a 300ml bud and they didn't even clean the table

Popped in for a game of pool and a beer - friendly service, fresh beer and a great (single) pool table area.

Super Freundlich! Nur die toiletten sind nicht besonders toll

Locale intimo e di atmosfera con arredamento in legno ed un piccolo soppalco. Proprio di fronte una bella chiesa del seicento che tiene compagnia con varie melodie suonate dal carillon della torre campanaria.

Absolutely excellent bar. Found it after playing the most recent modern warfare game. Totally lives up to the hype. No weapons allowed.

Absolutely wonderful. If you’re too sensitive a snowflake to have a laugh with Dahli and the staff then, yes, move on. If you like a lovely spot, good fun and a great memory of Amsterdam then I hope to see you there next time I’m in town.

Erg duur en je word er gefilmd

Always try to bag the seats outside the window! Great beer and great atmosphere.

Lovely bar with charismatic & friendly staff. I will definitely be going back on future visits to Amsterdam.

Heel vriendelijk personeel, gezellig een drankje gedaan!

Love this place, always spend hours here when I'm in the city, great spot.

Very nice resort. Nice bars friendly staff

Old, not comfortable, not my cup of tea definitely
