My fiance and I visited Amsterdam from the US with 2 friends of ours for my fiances birthday week. We visited De Kroon bar everyday, sometimes we would swing in more than once a day. We love dive bars and this place has that great dive bar feeling so we felt right at home here. FERRY & ROSE were our favorite bartenders! They were so welcoming and friendly and helpful with local information and directing us to good places to eat. Football was on some of the we visited & we love how everyone gets into the games. The beers on tap offer a nice range to choose from & the cocktails were great as well. You are able to smoke here, but it's still a bar so as a customer, you do need to buy a drink while you hang out. Whether it's alcohol or a soda. This is how the bartenders make their money, just like any other bar you would visit. We appreciated the fact that Rose wouldn't let groups of people just take up space for long periods of time if they weren't drinking. It's a small place so in order to keep business going & give others seeking a place to drink and smoke somewhere to sit and relax, they have to be able to turn the tables. We understood this as we owned a small restaurant ourselves. They do have two tables outside with seating as well. Although they dont serve food here (its a drinking bar afterall), there is a plethora of food options all around it. Just ask which ones are the good ones. We definitely will be back to Amsterdam and back here to what became our favorite bar while on vacation. We hope to see Rose & Ferry again when we do! Cheers!

Absolutely rude. I get that there is a policy to buy something to sit at an establishment.  My husband wanted a beer and sit outside to smoke. That's was fine. I wanted something hot as it's 33° out. This place only served cold drinks. I said no thank you. I was told I couldn't be there even though he got a beer. This place was empty inside and out. Watched multiple people go in and then immediately leave. Now what if I decided after his beer came that I did want something, there went a sale. So instead I went across the way and got a hot coffee and sat there. We talked to each other across the ally. I recommend avoiding business with this place. See rude sign attached.

This is a great place to grab a drink and have a smoke. The bartender is super helpful and friendly. Ignore the negative reviews. Definitely saw people trying to take up seats without paying for anything which is just plain rude. Be polite and spend some money.

A nice bar to try the Amsterdam beer on your way up, Bartender is really nice and gives recommendations for the beginners. Little expensive for a beer but worth it
