Traveler reviews
Jenny Bowlas
★★★★★4 months agoOne of my favourite spots in Amsterdam! Chilled in the day and comes alive at the night-time. Best seats are downstairs by the window, could spend all day here....and often have!! Only downside is its a little bit pricey, a pint of IPA is €10, definitely worth it for view and atmosphere though!!
