Cafe Aran
Bindi S.

Fun Irish pub, good beer and good food. Service can be erratic but that seems normal for Amsterdam. My friends and I were there for a good 3 hours, we drank lots of beer but the food was super slow or missing on coming. Whatever we got was delicious and the crazy Irish guy serving us was hilarious.

Stopped here for lunch and had a pint of the Irish red beer with a cheese burger. Food and drink were good and the location was great for people watching. It was very crowded and the waitstaff did take awhile to get around to us. As well they make you pay your bill before you get the food which I thought was different. Overall the food and beer were good and we ended up coming back the next day with our friends (On a Sunday which was much quieter)

Cottage pie! 10/10!

Such good cottage pie! I was almost talked out of it but my friends agreed who ordered different things (ribs and burger) that this dish was the table favorite.

Loved eating here by the water, great ambience and entrees, we got the fish and chips and salmon fillet, the salmon was by far the best. 4 stars instead of five because the fries were very bland, they don't make cocktails and very smoky on the outside patio. Very reasonably priced though and overall a lot of fun so would try again!

Pretty good Irish pub with nice view on canal and Vondel park. Be ready that here will be lot of people all time because this is touristy place. Also popular causino is near by. We've tried here 2 half pints of Guinness. But it wasn't so good as I expected.

Chicken Satay and BBQ Spare Ribs in the back

Awesome place to grab some food and drink beer. This place was close to my hotel when I stayed in Amsterdam and it was a nice spot after a long day of walking to relax and people watch. It's also not pricey and the staff is quick to serve you. Their chicken skewers with the peanut sauce were really good, this became my favorite go to dish in Amsterdam. Even tho it's an Indonesian dish you could find it everywhere in the city. So good! The ribs there were pretty good too.

Salmon sandwich, spicy chicken wings (not spicy), and leak soup!

Aran Pub is in a great location, we stopped in here just wanting to grab a quick drink, but ended up staying a little longer. The view is great, you can look out over the canal. Everything is averaged price, the atmosphere is pretty typical pub atmosphere, perfect for what we were looking for today. My dad got the salmon sandwich and loved it, I ordered the spicy chicken wings, which weren't very spicy, but that was fine with me, and my mom got the leak soup, which was a huge cup and a whole baguette of bread (not expected, but lovely).

See all

This bar was recommended to me by a bartender in Berlin. The first time I came I didn't have a…read morereservation but since it was just me, they were able to squeeze me in at the bar. The bartenders were busy but nice and took care to explain the creative and extensive menu. The second time I came I made a reservation for two online. You pay for the reservation but that amount is then applied to your check. The drinks are quite good and I understand the need for the reservation. It's not a big space but it's very popular so it's consistently full. This is a great bar so I can see why it's so popular. Don't miss Flying Dutchmen Cocktails in Amsterdam.

We stopped here for a cocktail. We did not have reservations so we had to wait until something…read moreopened. The server brought over a pinkish liquid and I asked what it was. He said water, so I assumed it was it was tinted from the lighting. When I took a sip it was a flavored water. I asked if it was gluten-free and he was very rude in his response. Basically was like um yea it just has spices in it. Spices may not be gluten free and could be of concern for a celiac. I asked him if any drinks were gluten free and he said all but 2. I wasn't confident that the drinks would be made separately from the non- gluten drinks so I opted not to get one. My friend got the bees knees and said it was really tasty. The server did come back and switch my water to regular at the end but he should have been upfront with what he gave to prevent any exposure to peoples allergies.
