Brouwerij 't IJ Reviews

Excellent beer menu
address not to be missed in Amsterdam. I recommend

Unique brewery that should be included in anyone's visit to Amsterdam. It has a great setup, with cosy outdoor picnic style tables. The real stars are the beers, which are brewed here, delicious and reasonably priced. Try the beer flight if you're not sure which one to try first!

Great beer for a great price.
The finger food are also delicious to eat while drinking and talking away.

Good place for a beer. Not expensive compared to the rest of Amsterdam.
She is an artisan, but they serve haste ... They serve beer very poorly.
Too bad they didn't "throw it" well because it would be better.

One of the best places in town. Great beers and vibes

Sensational place for those who like craft beer, a very good snack, and of course the beer is excellent from trippel to porter.

We love this place!! Flew in from Massachusetts to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary here as we had such find memories from our last visit. The cardamom beer is amazing and the cheese/sausage/egg platters are the perfect accompaniment.

Beautiful brewery with delicious beers. Cozy tent with friendly staff.

Nice place to go for a beer. The IJwit in-house brew is worth trying (we tried 4 of them). The bar food is satisfactory, nothing special. The friendly staff, decent beer, and proximity to a cool windmill make for a must-do visit.

Great brewery and trendy hotspot during the weekends in Amsterdam. Not plenty of space inside (and Amsterdam windy weather could be a challenge) but if you score a good day you can sit on the benches in front of the place.
Beers are good and cheap, food is easy Dutch style. Worth trying!

Prices are reasonable and beers are tasty. The brewery is unassociated with the windmill upstairs, despite the company s logo. I remember enjoying the IPA.

delicious beer, great when sunny for outside space, laid back, real people

Cool microbrewery at a picturesque location - at a windmill. Great taster board selection. Perfect on a sunny day.

Great place for local beer. The snacks are OK. The best is the grilled sausage but nothing special. Nice location and if the weather is nice seating outside is a must. It had a small tour but if it is crowded (usually it is on the weekend) forget it.

What a brewery bar ... under a windmill .... there is no way you could try all the beers in a day :-0 quatlty beers ... Nice food ... like beer ? Then this is the place for you !

Downside or big downside. The young service lacks experience in the field of hospitality. For example, without making eye contact or any form of communication, the empty tray of glasses from a Spanish couple is taken off the table. Perhaps there is just too many staff scheduled and they are bored to death. Taking the Christmas group photo, on the other hand, requires a lot of attention from the staff. A bit of a shame after the personal and pleasant service at the De Prael brewery. 4 stars because of the special environment. IJbok also delicious the IPA was disappointing

Excellent Amsterdam beer at low prices. Perfect place to bring a group of friends, especially on a summer afternoon :)

Great beer, atmosphere. Variety of different beer types. Can buy by the pint or they do a tasting flight. They also have some snacks, cheese, salami, nuts, etc.

Best beer in Amsterdam! Ask for the cheese and sausage combo!

Beautiful place, attention to the schedule closes at 20:00

Awesome brewery bar with tasty beers. The windmill adds to the picturesque nature especially if you catch it on a good day. The snacks (cheese and meat) are good too. The cheese especially so as it is from the farm that originally takes a waste product from the the brewing process to feed the animals with.

Beware though that there is a bit of a rush at opening time, presumably to get hold of the very limited tour tickets. However, although the tour guide is very knowledgeable and it was good to learn about the brewery, the tour is quite short. I therefore think the the low price which includes a small beer is very fair but therefore not a deal breaker if you don't manage to get a tour ticket.

Great beer and garden under the windmill. The Plzen is great taste, also is the Flink, more fruity. The Combi (raw sausage meat and cheese) is great price and awesome taste. Recommended visit here in Amsterdam.

Typical Dutch atmosphere far from sightseeing. Also try the very soft typical salami. Obviously a great choice of beer

1 of the most pleasant and culturally diverse places in Amsterdam. In good weather it is always full of picnic tables and I have never seen it cozy. In addition, the IPA I think is the best in the Netherlands, that and the other nice beers are also nice

One of my favorite places on Earth. My wife and I have been to Amsterdam twice in the last two years. Brouwerij 't IJ is our home base. I'll be frank. European beer culture is pretty weak on the whole. I've spent time in Scotland, England, Germany, and the Netherlands... The beer is not up to the New England standards I'm used to. Brouwerij 't IJ is the exception. The beer is excellent, the atmosphere and location are charming, the bathrooms are clean, and the bar food is refreshingly simple and good!

This is a great place to unwind after a long day. A great place to place to hang out and plan your future. Hell, a great place period. I could not recommend it any higher!

The best craft beer factory in Amsterdam. They have more than 10 varieties, some available all year round like the Flink (4.7%) normal blonde, Plze (5%) pilsener hopped, Natte (6.5%) dubbel toast, IJwit (6.5%) wheat, IPA (7%) , Zatte (8%) tripel, strong but very rich, Columbus (9%) amber hopped and Struis (9%) sweet and dark.

The beers cost around 3 varying a bit depending on which you choose.

It is located next to the De Gooyer windmill, a wooden mill built around the year 1609, considered a national monument.

You can also order sausage tapas, pepper stew, cheese cubes, fried peanuts and something I've only eaten in Holland called Ossenworst and it's a kind of raw veal sausage, which is a vice. The only thing that would be missing to be perfect are bread spikes or just bread :)

Closed at 8:00 p.m.

We had so much fun here! Great beer, and beautiful at sunset, being on 2 canals.

Historic brewery in Amsterdam, where you can taste an excellent selection of beers of all types with a view of an ancient Dutch mill. Low prices. Hours: 14 - 20

Great brewery, great beers. No table service (totally fine) and snack-ish food only. Service was friendly and immediate. Only reason for 4 stars was food wasn't super great and there weren't very many options.

Crowded place but good beers that compensate for this. Although you can get these beers elsewhere.

Great place to try local beers. I visited Amsterdam twice and went there both times. My friends liked it very much too. It s a windmill from outside with great atmosphere from inside.
Bears + snacks :)

Cool place -- a brewery in a windmill. Good, but not great, beers. Gets crowded. Still better than doing the Heineken tour.

Just a lot of fun. Good with a group of mental friends

Excellent craft beer, you have to try them all. There is usually a line from before opening hours, so go a little earlier

Must to go place if you're visiting Amsterdam. Nice place to hangout with friends or to drop by for couple of beers before dinner.

I love this place great bear and try the osse worst

The atmospere, everybody joyful & of course the beer & food

Away from the crowded downtown, perfect place for a beer and a quick snack! I recommend the IPA

The best pub in Amsterdam by a mile. Great setting; freindly service; a nice selection of snacks; and most importantly of all, truly amazing beer!

Just check it out yourself, if you like good beer you won't be disappointed. Egg on the side is a must!

A landmark building, has a place to drink beer and hang out.

Spectacular location for having a beer and having a chat with the locals, all inside the mill

Delicious beer, a typical place in Holland, cheese with mustard is a feast of flavors!

Good place for a beer with a good conversation.
The brewery is easily accessible and this promotes mutual contacts.
And then I haven't even mentioned the Columbus. Just taste and you're up.
Recommended! !!!

I love windmills and this windmill is fantastic to look at. It's no longer functional, but they tell me it used to pump water to keep the canal water table at a certain level.

A place with many beers. Anyone who likes beer should visit it.

Top beer and tasty snacks! Staff could have been a bit friendlier.

The frothies are a bit expensive, that aside, cool venue, genuinely diverse and interesting crowd. Weird opening hours though. Be alert. Like batman.

Great atmosphere.
Even greater beers.
** Coses at 8pm
** No table service or restaurant
** Simple sausage cheese and penauts as snacks

Drinking locally brewed beer in a windmill what's a better way to experience Dutch lifestyle?

This was a great atmosphere, reminded me of home in Canada

Great neighborhood brewery with a good selection fo beers. Lively crowd. If you're bringing a group be sure to get there early!

Great selection of beers and a lovely place to relax.

Good beer. You can buy a tasting menu of beer here.

Great place with really nice atmosphere and really good beers. On a sunny day you can sit outside on the cool terrace. The place is in an old public bath building converted into a brewery. It is really nicely decorated and its location under a windmill is really cool. We shared the tastings options and even sharing, I was a bit tipcy in the end as the beers are a bit strong, so consider ordering some snacks (:

A wonderful place in the Vondelpark. Large terrace where you can relax. The pavilion and the terrace have undergone major refurbishment following the takeover by Brouwerij 't IJ. Of course you can drink the delicious beers from this brewery here. There is not so much space inside, but the terrace is grand as ever. Too bad the weather was disappointing.

At t IJ they already have the new summer beer, including Cardamom. Fantastic beer on a great terrace.

A beer hall located in an old mill. Highly recommend!!!
