Brouwerij 't IJ Reviews

A great outdoor beer garden environment with great beers! Keep it simple with the beers and apps makes it an non-complicated environment!

A brewery in a Windhond! Bustling little place with tasty beverages and cool vibe.

Very tasty locally brewed beers. Meat and salami is also nice. They also have tours in Dutch and English

Brewery and brewery directly in the old mill. Super unfiltered beer 6 kinds.Opravny pigeon u stol .

Best beer in the Netherlands. Especially Zatte and IJwit are really worth tasting. You can also buy their beer to take away and some snacks at the bar. Good atmosphere, but the bar is always filled to the brim and it's hard to find a seat. Great that they renovated the bathrooms recently.

One thing that bothered though. Last time we visited one of us got a dirty glass and when notified the bartender just quickly rinsed it in soap water (?) which was standing in the sink. That seemed a bit unhygienic but maybe its standard practice?

Gorgeous. Great beers, cool crowd and very clean & comfortable. Lovely bathrooms! Definitely worth the tram out of the city centre.

Brouwerij 't IJ is a fantastic brewery, and Amsterdam is proud of it, so their beers are stocked pretty much everywhere. Grocery stores, pubs, climbing gyms. Everywhere. The brewery itself is worth a visit, too it s on the ground floor of a windmill, near IJ, the body of water from which the brewery gets its name. The windmill brewery is near a street called Zeeburgerpad on the Eastern docklands, which makes me think of a grill restaurant with a cozy homely interior.

Serving some of the best beer in Amsterdam, you cannot miss this unique brewery. Serve solid bites and have incredible cheap prices.

Great beers! Super helpful gentlemans working behind the bar :)

Great flight of beer under a beautiful old windmill.

typical and atmospheric. exceptional choice of craft beers

Great place with great beer specially with good weather. Very popular place where a lot of locals go after work to have some beers with friends/colleagues. A must see I'm Amsterdam!

The best way to convert an old windmill in a top pub

Just perfect! The beers, incredible !!!!! Fair prices! A super nice atmosphere, friendly waiters and good skewers! Do not expect a great variety of skewers, they have cheeses and cold cuts but everything is very good and at a good price. For beer lovers it is more than recommended!

Excellent beer and very suggestive location, located under the only windmill left in the center ... And then while you drink you can admire the master brewers at work.

Excellent beers, beautiful place, definitely a stop to consider

Nice location, beautiful mill, good beer. Also just buy it to take home.

Lovley brewery great beer. A nice place to sit and enjoy yourself.

Always a nice place to be with great beer as a plus.

Very good artisan beers, especially the Natte. The place very emblematic and well preserved

One of the best places in Amsterdam to enjoy beer and interact with the locals. One of the varieties of beer that is available here is called "Columbus" and the place is quite famous for that. It is quite strong and bitter but definitely worth trying on a trip to Amsterdam.

The brewery in the old mill in the part of Amsterdam, where tourists no longer get. They cook several kinds (strong) and all are great. The local pub has an atmosphere, on Friday evening it was crammed to burst.

Beer was nice along with the food. The brewery tour is quick but I would suggest to do it

good craft beer.nice atmosphere,tasty cheese as snack with beer

Nice place with a lot of choice. Of course because of the virus it was less easy for food and table but very nice place.

A hotspot in Amsterdam, a great terrace and the beer is unbeatably good

Good place, although there were many people and there was no physical place to be. (Saturday night) beers between 2.50 and 4

Nice variety of craft beers and super Dutch venue in a windmill. Crowded, but easy to meet new folks!

Very cosy place especially after a long cycle around Amsterdam in autumn. A nice selection of beers and a nice gezellig atmosphere ;-)

Pressure, but not all my taste. They do not even have Coke, if you come with someone who does not drink beer.

Excellent craft brewery, they also serve tasty snacks! Don't miss it if you're in Amsterdam.

The brewery located at the foot of an old mill is easily accessible by tram. The environment is very beautiful, in the center is the double counter where you have to go to make the order, pay and then you can sit on the benches inside or outside. If you want something to eat on the left side of the counter there is a second counter that sells cheese, salami, a combination of the two, smoked sausages, hard-boiled eggs or peanuts, even here you choose, pay and bring to the table. More than to eat here one comes to drink.
I took the beertasting, a taste of their 5 beers that you can also find in supermarkets around Amsterdam.
FLINK, is a light and very fruity pale ale.
NATTE, is a dubble Belgian-style ale made from lightly toasted malts.
Zatte, is a very balanced triple much to hide his 8 degrees.
IJWIT, is a Belgian-style white beer, fresh and fragrant, with marked coriander and lemon scents.
COLUMBUS, is the strongest with its 9 degrees. It's a complex body beer, it starts off sweet and ends bitter, really good.
In general the beers are good, perhaps, according to my personal tastes, a little too delicate, the aromas and flavors are very subtle.

Amazing craft beers. Oldest craft brewery in Amsterdam. Good selection of finger food as well.

The beer is average, the facility is poor. It is extremely over crowded. But the staff is pitiful. I interacted with three different bartenders and all were unbelievably rude and this is come from someone who has worked on the other side of the counter. I honestly would not recommend this place at all...

Great beer, staff is quite busy and occupied so be prepared for a wait. The beer makes everything okay though!

The place is fine, it is nice to see a typical Dutch mill but the tapas. Very expensive and the waitress who served us very edge.

Authentic beer and tourist attraction (very busy often) because in a mill. Also many locals.

Great place for beer lovers. Reminds a bit of Biergarten Germany.

Tourists and locals in the same place. The beers are amazing and the windmill is really charming to appreciate the beer. Inside is really busy, but outside there's space for everyone.

One of the last windmill in Amsterdam. And it's a huge one! Well conserved :)
You can also go to their craft beers, they have a special tasting menu you can ask for

One of the last mill in Amsterdam. It is very well preserved, big and beautiful :)
You can also enjoy and drink a beer because the mill has its own brewery. They even offer a menu with several different beers to test

A windmill in the city where you can have a very good beer...what else?

Very nice and cozy experience to have a beer in a real windmill, where the beer is actually brewed. The crowd is always fun and very mixed: you can always find the locals and the expats (just not the fancy-in-a-business-suit the word might bring to mind). The place has been recently renovated, making it more spacious inside and with additional seats. Definitely a plus since the windy rainy weather Amsterdam can offer many times may spoil your "borrel" (Dutch for drinks with friends or colleagues). Although this doesn't depend on the place, if it was always sunny and warm it would be 5 stars straight!

There is no greater choice elsewhere !!!! For those who do not like beer, excellent ice cream parlor around the corner with, there too, an incomparable choice !!!!

Lovely, a bit crowded, historical beer brewery with a mill on top of the building. Very peculiar! The food is really good, especially if you want to have lunch with some typical dutch cheese and sausage. The beer is amazing, all of them. I suggest to try them all out, as they provide five glasses, each with one of their beers, to have a satisfactory taste test. Highly suggested!

The perfect place to stop by and taste local crafted beers with salami&cheese. It is well known among tourist, so tends to be crowded on pick time. If it is a sunny day enjoy the beautiful beer garden.

Nice place at the foot of a magnificent mill.
Very good beers.
The place is very busy.

nicely seated. with beer, cheese and sausage. delicious

Good brewery but no alcohol free beer available. Also very crowded.

Definitely one of the place to visit in Amsterdam. Typical windmill offering local beer and snacks. The atmosphere is really cosy but also quite busy

Super bar: the atmosphere is great, the servers are friendly and speak English. The decor is great, and the beer very good and inexpensive (even if the glasses are not very large).
We also witness the direct production of beer through the glass door.
I recommend the "beertasting" at 10 , it's great! (5 small glasses of house beers)

Awesome place with the best beer I had in Amsterdam. Too bad it closes early, would have stayed longer.

Don't go here if you want to avoid the tourists. But it is still worth it. Great locally brewed beer, and still an authentic atmosphere.

Nice setting and good place to get out, but for beer geeks, probably just ok.

Great brewery near the amsterdam center. Good chicken satay and we enjoyed the great drinks available.

Very good and fresh homemade beers.
A must see in Amsterdam.

One of my favorite places in the world. Perfect cheese and beer.

Brilliant beer, decent snacks, some of the rudest service I ve experienced. They made my sister in law feel so uncomfortable that she went home

Fantastic beer at great prices, good also salami and cheese

The Ij Brewery is definitely worth a visit. It is a "small" brewery with many types of special beer. Everything they brew on site is sold here on tap. The special thing is that all those different beers also taste different. We recommend a set of 5 different beers brewed there. Tours can also be booked here. That is also fun to do. I enjoyed it anyway.

Delicious beer from our own brewery, top service with friendly employees! Highly recommended!!

I had some great beers here, but they closed earlier than I was expecting. Either way, I thoroughly enjoyed myself here and the workers were friendly.
