Brouwerij 't IJ Reviews

Nice place to have good beer, and snack some afternoon

Large selection of tasty craft beers with punny names.

Friendly Staff and very good selection of brewed beer

Very cool to meet and take pictures of an old windmill without leaving Amsterdam.

Fantastic brewery with lots of beers. Small kitchen serving snacks (had grilled sausage and smoked sausage). Had the Columbia beer - delicious. Friendly staff too. Watch out for drunk Americans who like to jump the queues (lines)!!

The place to be in Amsterdam. Amazing beer and cheese.

It's a bit touristy -- you're drinking under a windwind. If that appeals to you, you're going to love this place. Once that excitment wears off the beers are average to good. The food is limited to snacks, which I did not taste. The bar was packed and I had to push my way through a few times.

Great spot a little outside of the city center. A lot of good beer for a good price.

there is 1 beer can on the table that is not ours (they have cameras) makes that arrogant bartender difficult "we are not already involved in bachelor parties" but hoppa accepting 300 for what drinks are hypocritical leather cousin. what should have been a pleasant afternoon is ended prematurely "OPROTTEN or I'll call the police".

Amazing beer collection and ambiance; tried peanuts and cheese as well. Reasonably priced

Great atmosphere and prices. Not a huge beer selection but the beer is very good.

Really recommended! Super place for a drink in the spring sun!

Very good place to have a beer in a mill and quiet environment. With some cheese, better than better.

nicest place in the east / center and also very nice beer and nice people I used to come here weekly

One of the best beers in Amsterdam! Great place to hang out on a sunny afternoon.

A brewery that serves fantastic beers. This is the first place we bring our friends to when they visit us. It's the best way to experience Amsterdam first hand.

Just delicious beer. Drink a beer from this brewery every week. Also nice to visit. Terrace, delicious beer, plate from the cloister and sausage. Absolutely great!

Nice brewery in Amsterdam. Good beer with good prices. Nice to try IPA and IJwit. Cheese is also really nice.

Delicious beer in a not standard atmosphere. Certainly cozy!

Beautiful location and great beer! Fantastic location and lovely beer!

Homemade brewery with cheap and tasty beer. An absolutely must!
The only problem is that it is normally crowded and they close at 20.30

We got referrals from friends and it was worth it! Tasting menu is always the best choice because the draft Belgians are too much.

A great place. Delicious beer and a nice atmosphere. Every beer drinker should visit this place. It is not open long. I recommend highly ;)

Amazing draft beer selection. But the people working there were a bit annoying. I asked if they had any sours and the dude acted like I was asking for a Shirley temple. But I enjoyed my time there and would recommend!

I have had some of the best beer in the United States, after running through the tap list I can safely say that I have some of the best in Europe!

Nice selection of taps beers, portions are quite small and space is limited

Sensational the bar, note 10. The tasting menu is served until 5pm.

A very bold brewery format "for their own". At the weekend, not to sit down, there is not much beer, but everything is delicious. Recommend.

Great beer. Good to sample different beer. Big terrace outside is happening when the weather is ok. Seating inside is fine as well, but can be crowded.

Awesome local brewery. I'm in love with the beer from there. Can't wait to come to Amsterdam so I can have a beer here.

Great brewery tap room serving their own beers.
Used to be a cool wee hole in the wall but is now expanded and seems to be a bit of a destination for tourists.
No hot food, but they do decent bar snacks.
Be warned - the beers are very strong.

Every time I have guests in town I use it as an excuse to go here. I've never been disappointed by their beer and the taproom is supergezellig.

Good beer, lots of dutch customers and a friendly atmosphere

Very good beer, nice ambience. Finally a drinkable Dutch beer

Really nice place, useful for an aperitif or a tasting.

Brewery 'T IJ brews highly regarded beers nationally and internationally. However, I am not a fan of drinking it on the terrace on the spot. It is a true tourist hotspot. It is better to just stock up on a beer and eat your bottle of beer at home on the couch.

Very nice place to finish a day of walking. Taste beers and hang a small snack on the terrace under the mill.

Great beer, very good cheese and snacks. Very relaxed beer hall experience with plenty of outdoor seating

The beer is great. As usual. But it is beoming more and more a tourist trap. pity.

Brouwerij t IJ is a very unique brewery, and a must-visit while in Amsterdam. I mean, a brewery + windmill within the city? We traveled via a short tram ride, but I would imagine it would be easy to get there by bike as well. Sadly, we only stayed for a beer each, as it was insanely crowded and difficult to get to the bar, much less even think about finding somewhere to sit. We made the mistake of going on a Saturday late afternoon; I would highly recommend trying a weekday shortly after they open for the day. Our visit was pretty disappointing, although I guess now we can say we ve been there.

We tried the Columbus Amber and the Tripel. The beers were both nice and clean, although comparable to plenty of other beers we tried on our trip. The food is allegedly good, but we couldn t even see the counter to order some snacks, much less be able to get to it to order. Apparently, they also have some fun swag, but again, we could barely even get in the door to order a beer.

If we returned to Amsterdam, I would come back early on a weekday, as I am a little sad we didn t get to experience much here. We even tried to go to the brew pub next door afterwards, but they were also pretty full, so we ended up just leaving and going to Brouwerij Homeland, which is within walking distance, has great beers, and serves a full menu of food.

Always be early, so you can be sure that you have a seat! Great beers and snacks!

Purely Dutch brewery with house beer and local atmosphere.

As a good Italian I should say that it is a 4 because there was nothing "panoso" and indispensable to accompany not only beer, but hard-boiled egg (as promised, perfectly cooked!) And dry sausage and hectograms of cheese ... especially because the pub is in a mill where it was baking!
But the place is too Dutch, nice, full of local & global people, cheerful staff, excellent cutting boards and very good beer at more than fair prices (I would say perfect), not to give my best;)

Great beer! Own brew/brewery on site. Always full/great ambiance! (Locals and 'in the know foreigners ') Beer sold to take!

It's really great, though it's a pity they close early...

Good brewery good choice of beer super location and nice map of salted

Unique framework, but many other tourists also have that. A bit too busy to really enjoy.

I you are having just a one beer stop in Amsterdam, have it here

It doesn't get more local or more Dutch than a brewery inside a windmilll. Great beer and atmosphere.hw

Nice beer and sausages. Big crowds. They close at 8pm oO

Good selection of beers. Big place with inside and outside seating (beer garden style) and a beautiful windmill as part of the premises. Design seems to be meant for fitting as many people as possible and not much else. Even when busy you can always find a seat or five.

Go here and have a good beer and real Dutch experience, instead of the Heineken factory down the road. Staff friendly and beers and bar food are top notch.

One of the best beerhouse in town(i'm a tourist with friends that work at Amsterdam).
Beautiful place, cheap prices, best fun, no headache!! Super suggested for beer lovers!!

Great neighborhood pub, but if the tourist buses drive into Amsterdam again, this can detract from the chill vibe that normally hangs there. Great beer!

Get there early! We got there right when they opened and luckily snagged a couple of spots at the bar because it was jam-packed immediately. It was easy to see why once we tried a flight of their beers; there are a ton of options and all delicious. The food from the walk-up window is also really good. We split some cheese and sausages and enjoyed everything. The location next to an old windmill is also awesome, definitely picturesque. Highly recommend!

Always good. Quick service. Unfortunately also a bit more expensive. But that is the case everywhere in Amsterdam ...
