If you love beer or just want to see something different from Heineken or Amstel come here. Great selection of 30 draft beers and crazy 100 bottled beers. The bar is also a very nice building with small canal side seating. No wifi though, whic on our visit was unusual for Amsterdam.

no shortage of beers on tap or on the blackboard. Nice copper fittings. Staff a bit stand-offish _ they talked amongst themselves while I waited. No wifi.

The dutch beers that were served, a few stouts and the one porter they had, was less than impressive. The staff was skilled and knowledgable and the locale itself was nice.

Cool little place to sit a while away a few hours, enjoying great Dutch beers and ales. A selection of ever-changing 30 micro brews on tap, with another 70 by the bottle. I tried an amazing IPA and then had the "Bloed, Zweet & Tranen" (Blood, Sweat & Tears) Smoked Stout. Wow, tasted like carbonated peat smoke in a glass!... More

There are so many great beers on tap that I could have stayed for weeks. The bartender was great in helping to determine which local brew we should try. Will be back again next time we're in town.

Only after I visited with a friend who lives in Amsterdam, did I discover that Arendsnest was ranked #1 restaurant in Amsterdam on TripAdvisor (at the time). While there is little food (small selection of munchies), the beer menu is epic. All Dutch breweries on offer, which was surprising at the options. Apparently the Belgians didn't hoard this all to...

Great selection of Dutch beer and a relaxed atmosphere. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. It does get busy and crowded, but if you go on a weekday or during the afternoon, you will find a very attentive bar staff. We really enjoyed ourselves!
