The weather in Amsterdam has been incredible for weeks now. When the weather service initially warned of a heat wave back in early June, I chuckled. But when the sun kept shining, with temperatures at unprecedented 30 degrees centigrade for weeks on end, I smiled. And while this meant less eating out, it also meant lots of time on Amsterdam’s terraces enjoying many a Weihenstephaner Weissbier or IJwit from Brouwerij ‘t IJ.
With more nice days expected to follow, I decided to update my list of Best Amsterdam Terraces and added long-time favorite Café Onder de Ooievaar as well as the new crowd pleaser Bar Brandstof. So check out Amsterdam’s best spots for a cool brew, hope for more good weather and join us for a cool brew: Best Amsterdam Terraces
Good Amsterdam food from a trusted source - not a vending machine.
The bar doesn’t have a terrace as such but on a recent trip to Amsterdam, my favourite bar to sample some proper dutch beer was ´t Arendsnest on Herengracht 90 – 30 beers on tap and 120 bottles, all from Dutch breweries. Really knowledgeable bar staff and the perfect place to sample a few beers and relax after a day’s walking around the city centre. Highly recommended

Good suggestion, Griff! I’ve been meaning to make a list of best beer bars / pubs for a while. ‘t Arendsnest would be on there, as well as Gollem, de Zotte and a few others.
