After I watched Degawa (Japanese Comedian) visited here on TV show, I came here and the meatball was amazing! Beer was good too and also the staff was so polite. Didn’t have to queue to get in which is rare in AMS!

I used it with a stroller! The friendly staff creates a comfortable atmosphere. Meatballs are as good as rumored! If you come to Amsterdam, you should definitely try it.

Excellent cafe/bar in a fabulous location canal-side, and with charming decor, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. It's clearly a neighborhood spot, and you will feel like a neighbor even if you are just passing through.

Very warm and cosy pub, very friendly and welcoming staff. It offers quite a variety of beers and drinks and some dishes. Most of the customers seemed like locals that came after their work to enjoy a drink which was quite an experience for us and we felt like we could blend in!

Very delicious finger food and good beer they have. They were also very kind and very helpful when I search for a good beer in the menu. I would definitely recommend this place if you want to spend nice time. (was great looking out of wide windows and watch people rushing on the street.)

A wonderful traditional dutch pub, the burger patty was quite tasty and seemed handmade which was quite refreshing as it felt like a home made burger. The side of fries was quite adequate enough that I could share some with my friends and still struggle to finish them all.

Excelent beer selection. The waitress was the sweetest and she gave us great recommendations. The interior is cute and the soundtrack was amazing: from Tame Impala to Kendrick Lamar. Seriously, perfect for a couple of beers!

Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff with a good selection of local and international beers. Nice relaxed atmosphere is welcoming for a mixture of people by day and night, meanwhile the music is pretty good too. Haven't tried any of the bar snacks yet but it looks slightly above typical bruin cafe fayre.

Typical Dutch pub just outside the centre of Amsterdam. Has a decent beer selection, and reasonable prices. Owner was a very friendly guy, and who was constantly running from customer to customer, as he was the only staff present the night I was there. Service was a bit slow because of that I but not a big problem.

Loved this spot! Made it our 'local' for the short time in Amsterdam. Best burgers on the planet. Really! Great beer selection and the people were friendly. Only disappointment was it wasn't open for dinner. Great location, relaxed here after a long day walking and to meet when separated. Not to far away from the Museumplein and close to the Amstel. Have something to eat here over a beer or coffee! Utrecht straatt is a great area. Ozzie Dutchies

Thank heavens for a real Amsterdam cafe that's not yuppified or 'millennialised' yet. With real Dutch food such as broodje bal or kroket, and Ajax games on the tv. Friendly staff too.
