Great beer, service and fun vibe! Being from the US, I always enjoy trying beers in other countries. This place nails a smooth beer that tastes just as described. The bitterballs (got regular and spicy chicken) were so good. The mustard served with them was phenomenal. The menu is in Dutch and English and servers spoke English with us. We felt very welcomed.
A brewery and a restaurant, Bierfabriek is known for their free-range charcoal grilled chicken and homemade beers. I loved my experience here. My bf and I trekked in the rain to Bierfabriek late, around 8pm or so. If you're looking for good beer, food, and atmosphere, I highly recommend this place. First of all, their menus are on wooden boards. The tables have peanuts and you can munch on them while you wait for your food. Service was attentive, maybe because we were one of the last people there, but nonetheless friendly. We had the roasted chicken which had great flavor. Chicken was not at all dry, and was rather juicy! The roasted chicken came with perfectly cooked fries and homemade sauces. DROOOOL.... Also had the Dutch Charcuterie Platter. So much meat!! Comes with a variety of cold cuts, served alongside sweet and sour onions and pickles. As for drinks, we tried the Puur (pilsner) and Nero (dark porter) beers--both delicious. Loved the atmosphere and how home-y it felt. There are picnic table style seating for large groups and small tables for smaller parties. Would love to eat here again if we ever visit Amsterdam again.
Came to the Bierfabriek as a recommendation from a local and it was a good choice. It is walking distance from the famous dam square. They give you free peanuts, these free peanuts are literally on every inch of the floor, i guess it's like their theme, and its a good one because it is very memorable. The best part of the place is that they have tables with personal beer spouts so you can just serve yourself! Super convenient. To eat, I had chicken and fries and it ended up being an entire small chicken. Cool place!
Decently price beer, endless peanuts and they have a pretty decent crudite board with cheese, fig and arugula. This is a great spot to catch up with friends over beer (less than €3). If you can wrangle a party of 6-7 people, do so. That have self serve tap tables. I didn't get to try it, but the concept is stellar. The Bianco was great - sad that they don't ship to America.
Amazing place for beer lovers. If you are looking a place for big groups (4+ ppl) this is the place. You have the option to have 2 types of draft beer at your own table (check pic) They also offer a great menu, my tip go for the rosted chicken. The restrooms are also big and surprisingly clean and they don't charge the use of it (It's quite common in The Netherlands) Consider that the service is slow but they are really helpful. In case you want the draft beer (like in the pic) make sure to make a reservation and be on time
Drawn-in by chalkboard signs advertising craft beer. Place has a cool/unique vibe. Front section has taps on the table. Free shelled peanuts for all! Food: Ordered beer flight (off-the-menu, but requested waitress) and fried Dutch snacks (ex. bitterballen). Red beer (russo) was my favorite. Whole BBQ chicken (12 euros) came with a ton of fries and was a great value - could easily be shared by 2. Service: Waitress was friendly, but service was a bit slow. Didn't get any service for first 10-15 minutes. She earned a star back for helping me charge my dying iPhone! Bottom Line: Cool concept and relaxed environment. Split a chicken and order some beers!
The Bierfabriek is a great spot in the middle of the city. They brew their own beers here (3 different ones) and you can enjoy them in their awesome café. The have the Puro, Rosso and Nero of which the Nero (a dark beer) is my favorite. The beers cost 3-3,50 euros for 300ml. The place looks really cool as well. There are big long tables, perfect for groups. The tables with beer taps on them are cool, you can tap your on beer on your table and never have an empty glass! There are also peanuts on every table and you can throw the empty shells on the floor :) They have food as well. Their chicken is very popular. I tried it and it was very good! There is also an other changing dish on the menu like for instance entrecote. There are 3 salads, a bunch of starters (also good for sharing since they are mainly platters and bread) and snacks (quite a lot of them and nice ones too!). I really liked the Bierfabriek. It's a very nice place for a drink and a bite!
My first time here. Really liked this place. Very clean! It's a brewery. They have 3 different types on the menu and if you are not a beer drinker they have a full bar. They had a blonde, red and stout. I got the red-good flavor. For food we ordered fries in a mug and these amazing balls. Forgot the name but Very yummy!. I hear the chicken is fabulous. Can't wait to go back to try the chicken.
Don't go here if you are over 30. Or 25. Or if you like posh beer. Do go here if you are in for a cheap beer, don't want much to choose from and are in it to get drunk. Pissed. People seems to enjoy the food here, I did not try it so review only for drinking. It has two cool feature and very friendly and helpful staff. 1) Free peanuts for everyone (the kind Goofy eats) - shells all over the floor 2) Manual DIY refilling at tables and pay for the amount you drink.
Great chicken! Seasoned well and super juicy! Great fries and super tasty beers! Food came out quick and and tasted so fresh! The servers were nice and came around often! For the amount of food we got this place was well priced. Loved it. read more

This restaurant is attached to the Leonardo Hotel which I stayed in for a week so before I left I decided to go downstairs and try this place and WOW I'm so glad I did! I ordered the Beef Short Rib which is my go to and it was delicious! It's a good size too so be prepared to take home a doggy bag! The fries were incredible and I'm not even a big fry person but these had the best crunch to them and tasted salty but a little sweet. (Don't be scared... Just get them!) The service was very pleasant and my food came out quickly! The interior was very cozy and it wasn't too noisy at all. It's a must if you're traveling here and would like a nice dinner. read more
This is one of my favorite hidden gems in the heart of Amsterdam. It's a nice brew pub with a wonderful variety of beers on tap. The food menu is small and simple but there are still enough options to satisfy your appetite. I always order the Farmer's Chicken. It is seasoned and marinated and so delicious. It comes with a small side salad and some frites. Add a little of the house-made BBQ sauce to top off this delicious meal. On the nice weather days they also have some outside seating which makes the experience even better. read more

Normally stop by here for beers, however this time we made advance dinner reservations ( a must weekend evenings). Fun vibrant atmosphere with peanut shells covering the floors. The BBQ Chicken served with delicious fries is the specialty (15 euro), lined up on the spits at the restaurant's entry. The Vegan special was an asparagus puff pastry in phyllo served with salad, 15 euro. ( not really vegan, contained a hard boiled egg) Tasty & cooked to order. Generous portions. Friendly service, good selection of on premises brewed beers. read more

Great beer brewed in house. The quality is really there, 3 types of beer but whoever is brewing knows what their doing. The main thing on the menu is BBQ chicken. It's basically a small whole chicken marinated for 24 hours and then cooked rotisserie style. It comes with a BBQ sauce that, in my opinion, is too sweet. The chicken however is perfect without it. Literally some of the best I've ever had... Anywhere. To top it off they give you peanuts on the table to crack, eat and throw the shells on the floor. I love this, it reminds me of some of the Texas dives I used to frequent. It all really adds up to give a feeling of home. read more

If you're visiting Amsterdam and looking for a place to eat, it's a must. Great service, great food, great place. I got the whole chicken with fries, and my boyfriend got many of the starters and it was the best dinner we've had in Amsterdam so far. In such a cute area, and the the vibe of the brewery is great. Overall great place. read more

Great atmosphere. Peanuts are served at the table and you can sit there and eat as much as you want.. Shells go on the ground. The Farm BBQ Chicken is very tasty and juicy. No need to add the BBQ sauce that they offer! Fries are great! Definitely order the Bitterballen! Good beer, and they also have a non-alc beer. read more

When we went there on a Friday night the place was pretty crowded. First they told us, that we would have to wait for a table for more than 1 hour. So we went to eat somewhere else and came back later. Then they told us that we will have to wait another 30 minutes to be seated. We waited at the bar and started trying their own brewed beer. Of the three they make (puur, Rossi, Nero) I recommend the puur. It is a good beer but not the best I drank so far. The atmosphere here is very unique and it is quite fun to enjoy some beers here. The chicken all the other people were eating also looked and smelled great. We just shared a bread. Make sure to ask for their homemade sauce when you also order the bread. It is a great dip for it. If you want to have some fun and enjoy a special beer bar go there. It is definitely not a mistake. But it is more kind of a tourist thing I guess. But as I wrote still fun. read more

Great place to relax and have a beer! They have peanuts on the table for free to snack on and great food to order. I highly recommend the chicken here which is slow roasted on a rotisserie over charcoal which gives it a wonderful flavor, they serve it with fries and a amazing barbecue sauce. The place is also conveniently close to Dam square and also the tram which can quickly take you to Rembrandt square both very lively squares with lots to do. read more
There's not many places where yoi can tap your own beer....this is one of them.usually you cannot use the self taps without a group, but my partner and i just happened to stroll in here mid day for some brewskis. And we got access to the self taps! Anyways, the taps hail 2 types of beer. All the beers are in house brews, of the bierfabriek label, but one, made in cooperation with brewer Alfa. This one is unfiltered pilsnee goodness. The other is the house stout. Besides this there's also a red (not self tap). Haven't tried the food yet, very very tasty looking, but the 13,50 price for the cornish game hen didn't really spark my interest. It's bbqd over a charcoal grilll, and is 100% veg. and grain fed free roam poultry. So you can feel good about what your eating and the beer you drink, which is made from only the finest ingredients. read more
