Nice brewpub and bar situated on the brink of the Red Light District in central Amsterdam. Fairly large and nice bar with wooden interior. The tables outside are quite nice on a warm afternoon (but I could live without the smell of weed from the coffee shop next door). They had three beers from their own brewery on my visit (late July 2009) and a good but hardly exciting selection of other beers on tap and in bottles. Friendly and efficint service. Definitely worth a visit, it’s centrally located and their own beers are worth trying.

This place should be tip top given the competition in the neighbourhood. It should shove its beery credentials down the throats of passers by and, like it did in the old days, produce some top rate cooking. All the basics are there. It just lacks, well, passion.

I was here in the afternoon and it was great. The stuff was very friendly, the beers were ok. Tthe brewhouse is nice with the great hopper on the mashing tun.

I accidentaly ran into this brewpub. Except their own beer, usual selection of belgian and dutch bottled beers. I was there about 10p.m. and there was too many people so the staff were slowly.

Large pub @ the Nieuwmarkt, decent selection of beers, lots of space, small terrace outside. Nice place for a dinner with friends to enjoy some good beers or nice housebeers and an OK meal. Food is not great, but decent.

Large pub with friendly staff and beery ambiance. We had air to breathe in here, and you can’t say that about many pubs in Amsterdam. Enjoyed a glass of the above-average and refreshing Blonde Ros. Unfortunately they served us possibly the worst chips and salsa we’ve ever had. She should have known better than to order that in Europe anyway.

Nice place. The beers are allright, the food not fantastic but OK regarding the price. A place to visit if you really want rare beers.

Nice, Dutch pub with a dark wooden look. Quite big, with lots of seating, and usually very loud with conversation. Has wifi, good food, and a decent selection of Belgian beers. Service is OK. Definitely a nice place to go, and good for large groups, but there’s more beer to be had elsewhere.

A popular spot close to the city centre and Red light area. One of those places where loads of customers will be standing by the bar chatting while almost all the tables are empty. It makes a friendly atmosphere. Their own beers were less than satisfying though, rather generic and they really should be the reason not to simply go to Arendsnest for the Xth time, but they don’t make it worthwhile I must say.
