A traditional bar/pub offering a wide selection of German beers, perfect for enjoying a quiet drink. We arrived around 3pm on a Friday when it was empty but by 4pm, the tables quickly filled up. The bartender was so friendly, talking us through the beer options and giving recommendations based on our taste preferences

Cannot say enough about this bar. It should be an institution. A neighborhood gathering spot. It was so great that I had to return, which I rarely do at any establishment. Great location next to a canal and right off of a very busy/touristy street. An escape from the crowds, it's like you time warp into an older time when a barkeep was like the local mayor. The options and the quality are off the charts. They make their own spirits, some unique genever, carry some other great European booze, and the highlight is the German beer offerings, both draft and bottle. They had stuff I can't even find in Germany! For food, a small board of old cheese and fresh salami is available. Everyone who comes in is genuine and they're for good company and good drink. I can confidently say this is one of the best bars in Amsterdam and it was certainly one of my best memories from my visit to a great city.

This is truly one of the reasons to come back to Amsterdam. Amazing beer variety with Lambics and Franconian lagers, which are arguably best styles in the world  right now they go hand in hand with one of the best in class craft liquors in a glass you can imagine to accompany your beer. The place might be a clear definition of "cosy bar". Can't wait to get there again and ask for blackcurrant drink with my kellerbier

Really great cozy bar, with an amazing selection of German lagers. They are also specialized in jenever, but that's not my jam, so I can't judge. Service is also really good. No food avaliable except cheese, dried sausage, and peanuts.

Returned after several years and it is still an amazing tasting room.   Quality selection of beers and self made Liquors.   Great service  and nice restrooms.
