Brouwerij 't IJ Reviews

Wonderful beers and great atmosphere. Get in early for the tour though! You need to be there by 2 for a place!

Really cool on site brewery in an old windmill, and excellent on site beers. I like the Flink, a lot!

A brewery and a windmill!! A little out of the way but definitely worth the trip. Great outdoor area to relax and try some beers with friends. They also offer a small snack menu. No table service but it was easy and fast to order drinks.

Very very good beer and snacks (hmmm, meat and cheese). We went while it was pack to the brim : I wish I could've sit and eat there.

Awesome brewery/pub. Fantastic to drink in a bar that is part of a windmill. Some really nice beers on tap and great merchandise for souvenirs. The food is pretty decent too. Situated in a really nice part of Amsterdam, it is a good venue to add as part of a bar/pub crawl. Highly recommended

Always crowded, always good beer and delicious Dutch snacks. Touristy but definitely worth a visit.

Great atmosphere, good beer selection, and yummy appetizers. I really enjoyed spending if you after noon hours here.

Amazing!!! Rich beer and delicious snaks. An environment similar to Pubs in England.

Excellent, to do absolutely.
Relaxed atmosphere.

Great food, very good beer, a little crowded in the afternoon.

Super tasty beer for a small amount of money (UP to 3 Euro)

If you like beer to visit, wonderful location great beers.

Best bar / brewery that we visited while in town for a few days. Tripels were perfect, IPA was solid as well. Get the cheese and sausage!

Typical Dutch experience. After living nearby for a while it became on my favorite spot to show to people visiting me. Famous local beer with different selection of taste. Beers can be quite strong so keep an eye on how many you drink. The place is lovely with the old windmill. You ca find also cheese and ham plates that fits with your beer selection. During sunny days be aware that finding a spot to sit isn t easy. Close at 8pm though.

One local spot to visit !

This is a hopping little bar! Seating options are pretty good, decent amount of room inside, and some nice views and tables outside. The flight is really the way to go to try all their brews. We all enjoyed our visit and would gladly come back. Make sure to check it out.

Special beers, spacious bar, fast service. Very busy, many tourists

Wonderful atmosphere, great beer, cheap, what more could you want?

Huge craft beer menu, beer snacks. Good atmosphere. Not for lunch or dinner only snacks

Excellent beers, it is possible to play petanque, very good food (obviously we are talking about pub food)

One of the biggest and most famous craft beer breweries in Amsterdam. The tasting room offers all beers and some small food items (like cheese) at very reasonable prices.

Is always busy though, especially with good weather.

We preferred this brewery to the tourist visit to the heineken and we were satisfied. It has many craft beers (we tasted a couple) very good. There is also the possibility of taking something to eat and we especially liked having found the local people and not just tourists. Go there!

Amazing beers and snacks for great value! Most beers are 2.50 and of fantastic quality.
Only thing I wish it did was stay open later than 8pm

Lovely ambience and great beers. The merch is pretty sick too..

Great beer. Try the taster line to find your favourite. Service is great as well.

Amazing beers and friendly people. Must visit for any beer lover.

Nice place to drink very good artisanal and cheep beers in Amsterdam

Excellent beer, good meats. Food price a little high.

Excellent tasting of 5 beers accompanied by the mini cutting board of salami and cheese.
The place is always very crowded and almost impossible to conquer a table that also happens to be shared with others but the concept is to be together and drink, everything else does not count.
Average prices and top quality craft beers!

Great pub. Definitely stop by and make the beer tasting

Nice place for a beer. Note the opening times, it is officially a tasting room and therefore closes at 8 p.m.
I personally do not recommend the lager, Brouwerij 't IJ is not good at that and that is not necessary either, drink a specialty beer.

Great local draft beer and nice cozy place with friendly staff.

Dry sausage prep pier, session IPA of a pitting character - during the drying of a rain shower ... reload.

The beer is excellent, and the raw beef sausage is a must. Delicious. We'll be back...

Good beer, nice and big terras. The food is overpriced though.

Great beer! Ambiance crowded but very relaxed and lively.

Nice place with lots of tasty beers for a alright price

Great and cheap beer! It is a must stop place while in Amsterdam

The best beer I tasted in my life, and at the best price !! A must worth the walk.

What better place to have a micro brewery then next to the windmill that helps mills the very ingredient for the golden liquid of life. Great place to try craft beers and dine on local Amsterdam street eats and bar finger food. The cheese and sausages are a must try with the beer in hand.

Great atmosphere. Better beer. I wish I tried them all.

Brilliant definitely worth a visit when in Amsterdam, having drunk the whole beer menu twice, I can't recommend it enough.

Really cool environment. The place it's always packed with people drinking and having a good time. There is also some appetizers to order with the beer, and some non alcoholic beverages.

We drank each kind of beer in a glass) an excellent choice (16 varieties, of which 4 in bottles) and everything is delicious. Snacks are chic, especially like sheep cheese brie. The prices are low. Brew beer and sell. There are a lot of tables, but there are many people. Mandatory for acquaintance with Dutch brewing. You can buy a T-shirt with a naked woman :)

Beautiful location is located at an old mill in Amsterdam, have many different types of beer, very popular with tourists, always nice to visit

The original Amsterdam brewery, great beer choice, not too overpriced and nice vibe!

Great atmosphere...
Nice blend of local and tourists.

Cool brewery with lots of beers ...... A dream for anyone who would like to try some unusual beers.

Nice beers nice atmosphere just quite full in rain. But definitely worth it.

Nice place with good beers. The not so good part of it is that they don't have a lot of food options (basically cheese and sausages), and close early (8pm).

Nice place with nice beers. A bit busy but it is more than enough space to have a nice time with a nice beer!

Great brewery, great variety. It eats well. Good prices. Great deal.

craft brewery quality, has a tram that for almost the front, the values are fair and a good variation of chopps!

3 euros for a beer and small glasses. It has become too hip here. Unfortunately.

Good beer and good selection. Not so much food options but ok for sneaks, we had good time

I loved the fact one can try several beers. This degustation is 9 euros. Just stay away from the appetizers, not really good

I wanted to come here for 2 solid reasons... 1) beer. Needs no other explanation. 2) one of the only 8 windmills in the city proper.

So to be honest, the windmill was a little underwhelming. But it was cute and I got a few good photos of it.

I wanted to take a brewery tour but didn't plan it out properly so I ended up just grabbing a sampler at the bar and people watching. I made the huge mistake of forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day and wow was this place crowded. I could hardly make my way through the bar but luckily they were well staffed and I was able to get my beers and settle in quite quickly.

The beer they have is great. They have a nice variety. I really found the Zatte (a tripel) really nice. But I tend to go for heavy blondes (like myself!
HA!) The nice couple standing next to me thought all the beers were a little too fruity but I tend to like that so I was pretty pleased with my experience.

Better and cheaper than Heineken. Very nice beer and history.
