Brouwerij 't IJ Reviews

I.P.A! That's nice beer. Nice place, large terrace.

Great place to have special beers. Legal environment. Loved the balcony. You have to pay everything on time. Food in one place, drink in another, which displeased me a bit, but nothing much.

It's not the cheapest place, but it's worth every euro you spend Great atmosphere and better beer. The cheese of the Abbey of San Bernardo is addictive

Great value for the price. Good beers and snacks to eat.

Really cool place to try local craft beer. Ambiance is nice with a huge authentic windmill. Big tables and large crowds. Low prices. Food is minimum just cheese and sausages.

Wonderful microbrewery - great ales. We just stopped for a couple which was plenty. May return for a tour around the brewery in future.

Great beers and a nice brewery to visit. The tasting room makes your visit worthwhile.

We walked 40 minutes to try their beer and eat dinner. Arrived at 8:10 pm on a Saturday night and they were closed. Lots of people hanging around finishing their brews, but we were very disappointed not to try their craft beer selections. However, the staff directed us next door and we had a lovely meal (the brewery only had snacks). The next door restaurant had a nice selection of craft beers and after trying a small sample of several beers, chose one we liked and really enjoyed our dinner and being served at this sit down restaurant.

One of the peculiarities of this type of breweries is that they do not play music, so the atmosphere is created by the bustle of people and believe me that you will not need anything more than to go for another round.

It is a factory so they have a variety of own beers that you can enjoy from the barrel and the site is located below a typical mill in the area.

They close early type 8 pm so you should get to precopear to that place.

Fun, unique beer garden... Not too touristy. Definitely with a visit!

Excellent brasserie with own elaboration and meeting place

This is a very good place for a variety of beers,also they brew on site

Different beers from our own production can be tried.

The beer is amazing and the atmosphere is vibrant. Really great placed for groups sorry it does get very crowded

I loved the atmosphere. Good beer, sausages and cheese.

Perhaps my favourite drinking establishment in Amsterdam. Their beer is better than good, and the local snacks are simple and genuine. (I always go for the dry sausage.) Can get crowded.

The beer is good, but the place was so fully packed, I doubt anybody can really enjoy this. Probably better in the summer, when you can sit down outside the windmill.

The beer here was some of the best I've had overseas, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

This is one of the oldest and most popular breweries in Amsterdam. It's inside a windmill and they have snacks. What more could you ask for?

The setting was great, I like that you have to go to the counter to order, and the beer was pretty good.

Chill place, nice beers. Not too hip, just nice here. A bit busy.

This is a must if you like good beer and nice people

Be sure to visit it and try their beers. The food is worth nothing and is expensive but as anywhere like this there. The experience is purely beer and is great. In addition, the mill and the surrounding canal give a very nice atmosphere.
The atmosphere of people is brutal.
It is reached by tram in 10 minutes from the center

Just the best. Great beer, great space, delicious cheese and meats. Awesome destination for a lovely cycle ride as well.

A very quirky bar which is located by a windmill, spectacular range of ales, which are all brewed onsite in their own brewery! Tours are available but we didn't do the tour on this occasion.

Very good beer, the tasting platters are very simple. French sausage and cubes of cheese.

Good place to have a craft beer in a good atmosphere, with good prices

Tasty white beer. Free peanuts in bags. True, the table may be sticky ..

A cozy corner in the middle of the snow, a great decor, hundreds of tastes! Their platter of cold meats and cheeses are also excellent

cool people behind the bar, nice terrace, typical dutch bites, great beers...what else?!

Awesome spot for well priced (for Amsterdam) beer that is also phenomenal. Easily the best brewery in Amsterdam.

duur=expansive, slechte bediening=dutch service, touristic=you can buy the beer also in the supermarket across the street and sit nearby

Open 2pm - 8pm, but stop serving flights at 5.
Tried the Flink and the New England Mango IPA. Both really good. However, when I got there I ordered a flight at 5:01 PM and they said they stopped serving flights at 5. I told her it was my last night in Amsterdam and the brewery was the last stop of my trip, but to no avail. Did not expect this kind of service in Amsterdam of all places. Seems like the place attracts a lot of tourists and don t care as much anymore. Also, try Bar Langendijk next door where they serve beers from another local brewery called Amsterdam Brewboys. They serve flights after 5pm, and the servers are way nicer!

Top tent with good beers! Is being slow by tourists

Always busy, never boring. If you're a fan of beer and ales then this is your Beervana.

Their beers are much improved if late and worts visit.

Shocking service, staff are a new level of grumpy!!!!

Highly recommend! Love the vibe, great beer/snacks.

Wonderful place in Amsterdam for having some beers. Not very expensive, around 3 euros each, you can also order some "tapas" such as some cheese or a typical raw meat sausage.

BT is ahead of the curve. I first visited 4 years ago when craft brew was just beginning to make its way to Europe. The place has grown since then, but the quality and value has remained the same: an average pour is less than 4 euros; the ingredients in the beer are fresh and balanced; and the mix of locals and tourists is just the way it should be.

Anyone in Amsterdam has to stop by and try the beers brewed by Brouwerij't

A must visit for any beer lover! Excellent choices and very nice place.... has snacks also!

Share a magical moment here. The windmill just takes the cake..

Great brewery location and many different kinds of beer.

Fantastic craft beer.
I recommend trying the variety of tastings of the various beers they produce.

Cool building with great beer and some snacks if you get hungry. It was a busy place but if you are in town weather you like beer or not you need to stop by for a visit. It is not too far away from the city center.

Characteristic brewery located inside a mill. The beers are good and inexpensive, the cuisine consists of tastings of local cheese and cold cuts

Good place to drink some quality beers on the terrace. Excellent variety. Always very busy at the weekend.

Great place, great beer, reasonable Price shame it closes at 8PM

Good price! Yummy cheese and sausage keep calling beer!

Great place to try nice beers. Quite touristy but still a good spot

It has great local beers and snacks. It's located in a peaceful part of town and is full of locals. Amazing experience overall.

A guided tour. There was ample time and everything was explained nice and clear. Rather a guided tour here and enjoy good beer than an advertising walk through the Heineken Experience!

A beautiful windmill that has been converted into a cafe.
The cafe is very busy.

The place is very traditional and the bier is of course good, however if you go on a Saturday afternoon is super crowded so you will stay outside (and if it is cold is not pleasant). I suggest to go during the week to enjoy it more.

Absolutely wonderful- great great beer , wonderful ambiance! Very busy on Saturday afternoon but that just added to great vibe!

Very large selection of beers, all the ones I've tasted are very good. I took a testing lot (with 5 small glasses of different beers) and it was really nice. Their terrasse is very enjoyable during summer, they even have umbrellas. The place is generally quite crowded but there's no struggle to find a seat and no waiting line in the toilets.

Awesome place with gorgeous beer and tastiest snacks. Ox smoked raw and grilled sausages recommended! For first time take the set of 5 types of beer and then choose the best you like to order again) or even have one more set, its up to you :) i've got sweatshirt and glasses as souvenirs to keep nostalgia in my heart :D

Great, flavourful beers in a pretty awesome location. I love this spot and can't wait to go back!

Super beers from local brewery are. Very popular with tourists. Recommended

Are you into a special brew and microbrewery then you must visit IJ.
The slogan "A dam Good beer" just fits here ......

Tasty beer and well-selected offering of Dutch snacks.

Great beer, great food and a really lovely setting. Try the IPA and the grilled sausage-yum!

A must-do! Best Amsterdam beer experience. If you want to have a local glance with actually good local brewed beers (forget about Heineken, Amstel , etc). This is the place! Beers are all below 3. And the snacks are also Dutch style. My recommendation if you are going for first time is the sample trial. If you want to stick with just one then go for Columbus. Not much room though, so better go early to be comfortable inside during cold/windy days

I really liked beer, it has good variety. We did not eat anything but we came that many had a barbaric bite of salami and cheese.
The place is great, under the mill and surrounded by canals.
Inside they have good bar and good atmosphere. Excellent place to go to relax after a day of walking.

Good beer, good atmosphere, a must to visit in Amsterdam and in addition there is a mill.
