Brouwerij 't IJ Reviews

Great beers, cute spot under the windmill. Very busy on weekend. They offer tasty snacks too!

Highly overrated tourist trap, all of the 12 samples I had there were rushed through production, and as such had the creamed corn fault that is the result of a rushed production.

Great place and variety of beers!! For sure I'll visit it again!

Incredible beer in an old wind mill. Can get pretty crowded but worth a visit. Make sure to order some cheese and meat as well.

Great brewery in the heart of Amsterdam. Nice vibe and place. You must drink the in place made beers. Recommended.

If you are a brewer, this is your essential stop in Amsterdam. 9 types of beer made by them in a place that is an old mill ... do not miss it!

A fantastic outdoor patio bar that has a great vibe and delicious craft beers.

Like drinking a good beer, of their selection in a mill turned into a brewery

Best brewery in Amsterdam. Do not let to go. Simple service, 2 types of portion, cheese or salami (can mix) but the beer is fantastic

Great place. Great beer. One of my favourite beers in Amsterdam. Only criticism is not enough bar stools and the place gets busy with a lot of tourists ordering beer "flights". Get there at opening time for the seat of your choice

The beer is uninteresting but the food is nice and the frame is not unpleasant.

Right at the heart of the city. Amazing location with serene views around. The services are at point and the taste of the food and beverages served are perfect ! Highly rcommeneded.

Outstanding selection of delicious beer that honors both the German and American style craft scenes. Light fare with an assortment of cheese and meats to go with your booze.

Beer was great. Do not expect a lot of food options

Excellent formula, where you can take several small glasses to taste several beers at the same time!

What a place ..!! Loved it.. the beers were so nice..ask for the story behind the name and duck logo !!

Love this place. What could be better than enjoying a flavorful IPA inside of a windmill?!

One of the first (maybe the first?) local brewers, which maintains this rebel's squatters groove despite the fact that their beers have become mainstream and may be found at many bars in and out of town, as well as in supermarkets and gas stations... Drink standing on wet floors or seated at beer garden tables, but take care with some of the brews, as it's easy to get one too many of them. Ah, you can get gift packs, beer tasting trays and t-shirts too!

Very pleasant moments are spent in this place. Next to a large traditional windmill. Good local beers and good atmosphere. You must visit and live the experience of a place with the local life of Amsterdam.

A good place to enjoy beer in the centre of Amsterdam.

Really a pass to !! A brewery that is a mill outside! All kinds of beers and tapas to snack very good !! Friendly and friendly staff !!

Cozy and relaxed drinking a beer directly from the brewery

Drink beer in a wind mill. Closes early and can get busy.

Friendly barmen who are knowledgeable and able to educate anyone on their flavours of beer. Did the tasting and the beers tasted amazing. Best way to taste is with a delicious with a cheese platter. Definitely a place worth visiting. Even if it's just for the windmill.

Very nice restaurant with many seating outside. Until 17:00 there is a Tastingangebot with 5 different delicious beers.

Wow, this place is awesome! Amazing beer, and food is epic as well. Must come here again!!!

Here, friends and I buy a glass of Ijwit and take ossenworst (some kind of soft, half-baked, half-smoked sausage) with mustard for a snack. In this institution, there is almost always a large influx of visitors and it is very difficult to find a table if you do not arrive in advance. This place seems to be very popular with locals.

Delicious locally brewed beers, nice atmosphere in this former brewery.

Some excellent beers here. They have a stock range of about 10 beers and a couple of one off brews for the hell of it. Well worth a visit.

Good and cheap beer in Amsterdam. 12 varieties at TAP, made right there. I tried 4 and liked them all, very good in style. The almost hour-long walk from the center of Amsterdam is well worth it.

Awesome beer! Super nice people! And.. do try the snacks!

One of my favorite bars in Amsterdam, with one of the city's best and biggest selections of beer. Great

If you're fan of beer, one of the must visit places.

Arrive by bicycle from downtown
Completely sober and I left Curao as a peak
The beer is good, I recommend the beer tasting for 10.5eur
Which lets you try the different pilsen that are available
The place does not have table service
So you have to jog to a bar (man) (woman) to serve you (paying at the moment)
Snacks are requested in a separate area in the same way

Great place, very busy, good beers of their production.

Wonderful place worth closing at 20: 00hs .... summer in Amsterdam sun until 22hs

One of the best brewery in Amsterdam. Situated below a windmill this brewery have amazing variety of beers

Perhaps the tastiest beer in the Netherlands. If you like beer you have to go here once.

A
Great drink. Note expensive.

Nice local brewery. Situated in an old windmill. Great beers, small selection of snacks.

This local brewery offers beer at lower cost ( 2.50 instead of 4.50 in bars!). At 15:30 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, visit the brewery in English for 4.50 and a beer included. You can enjoy your good beer at the foot of the mill or inside where the decoration is candle and beer bottles. A local beer to taste absolutely!

It is very unfortunate how in recent years the 't IJ Brewery has turned from a cultural venue into a tourist tent! Amsterdam's beer culture has now progressed so much that other local breweries are brewing more interesting specialty beers. Moreover, because of the many tourists it is often too busy to be able to enjoy your beer in peace.

Simply sausage beer and cheese diced .. no bread really bad!

Great beer. Lots of tourists, as there is hop on/hop off stop nearby.

Get your plate of cheese, and a dry sausage to snack like a local.

Great local hangout spot. Low key but busy so come early. Best peanuts in the world!

Cozy place, with very good tap beers. It might be very crowded.

Too bad it closes early at 20:00 every day of the week!

Beautiful brewery where you can sip different types of beer accompanied by excellent tastes of cheese and sausages. All in the shadow of a picturesque mill.

Worth a visit in a nice place of Amsterdam on the border of Center and East with delicious home-brewed beers.

Amazing place. Don't miss while staying in Amsterdam!

It's the best beer I've ever had. My girlfriend and I had heard of 't IJ through some previous visitors to the city and decided to walk over to check it out. First starting with the space its elecptic reminds me very much of a modern pub in ireland almost farm house charm but that makes sense since it's in a windmill. The Food- great as well for accompanying the beers not a large selection by any means but enough for there to be options for people the smoked ox sausage and the sheep's cheese were stellar. THE BEER! honestly and I saying this as someone who favors spirits normally it's the best beer I've ever had in my life. I've never been one to crave it or seek it out but this beer had me going back for seconds and thirds of styles of beer that frankly I'm not normally a fan of. As an example the girlfriend normally would never touch anything darker than an amber ale but the ibjok they have was perfect from her point of view. It was so good we went back a second day. Now I'm just here in the US wearing my sweatshirt and counting down the days till I can go back or until they start importing here. It's a great beer honestly and you feel the difference in the care in which its handled made and served to you by friendly staff. If your in amsterdam skip anything but Brouwerij' T Ij and you'll be sure to have an awesome trip. Cheers Prost Salud or whatever you may use!

Great craft beer, warm environment and friendly crowd. My favorite Dutch pub.

Excellent beer selection and very cheap. You could spend a lot of time here without breaking the bank.

A great selection of fantastic beers. The bar closes at 8 but that's probably a good thing after a few of their 9% Columbus ales. Oh, and it's located at a windmill!

A place where you can drink very good craft beers and eat some delicious snacks.

One of the if not the best beercafes in the Dam. By the way, all bio beer. Closing at 20:00 though. Easy going favorite.

It is a fantastic place to be. I love here and ,by now, consider myself a local. This place is an icon in this city.
A great place to go on a Sunday afternoon.. or any other afternoon.
The only thing that has changed in recent years, is the amount of tourism that 't IJ now receive.
It breaks the typical atmosphere in my (and others) opinion.
Yet, when I have the chance, I go to the Brouwerij for a beer and a nice chat with friends.

Great beers, fun atmosphere and nice little beer snacks. Lots of locals in the bar, packed out on a weeknight.

Delicious beers, cool little brewery with a view of the molen. Unfortunately you can't tour the windmill, but you can tour the brewery.

Great selection and atmosphere, would definitely return.

Great old windmill! Now is a brewery with all kind of local beers. High recommended to visit in Amsterdam.

Good beer, very decent prizes, good snacks and great location.

Brilliant brewpub. Always very crowded and therefore hard to find a place to sit most times. Not a problem if you're one or two people but more difficult as a group. Beer is good and really cheap.

Oldest Brewery in amsterdam, beer is amazing and actually really affordable.

Big beers for big boys big choices

Cheers..
