    Chickens drinking beer
    Mel H.

    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.

    Great chicken, good beer, nice variety of food and drink . Staff was friendly and helpful- loud but fun. Sitting at the bar is the best! Will come again.

    Peanuts free for the taking!

    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

    Good home brewed beer. Each table served with free peanuts. You can eat them and drop on the floor peanuts shell. That's so funny experience!

    Hot Amsterdam guys here this Sunday night. I'm in heaven. Then they played "Shaft". Its over The beer is good and cheap the food is good and just a delft dew items. Not fussy. Sauce has a bit of sweetness can get it mild or spicy. I'm spicy. And happy

    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.

    I'm going 2 times in one week, it's a nice place. I accurate on this is not a place for couples (except beer lovers ;)) For group, with friends or colleagues this place is cool. beer for those who love , a good chicken fries for 13 € its reasonable price and a cool atmosphere.

    Nutty leftovers all over the floor

    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.

We sat down anyways and chose a table outside to watch the show of life. Beer was good. Had to try the local staple, bitterballen, and was not impressed. Lacked flavor and half of them were empty. We were amazed on how one could fry something like this and it be empty, yet it keeps it outer shell intact while being empty inside. Very odd. Double burger helped this place out but it wasn't a home run. Fries were just ok. I wouldn't eat here again but may have a beer here for the people watching. Oh well.

This place brews its own and you can't go wrong ordering any of their drafts which can be: Witte Antonia, De Blonde Barbier, or the De Manke Monnik. You can try them starting with the Antonia and work your way to the Manke or the other way around (either way it will be a pleasant day). The bar food is legit, I had raw sausage Ossenworst, Huisgemaakt Bierbrood (beer bread), and Bitterballen (toasty croquet made with beef). Have a seat outside facing the canal which allows for a delightful people watching view and relax.

The food was delicious, the beers were excellent, and the service was wonderful. The young man who took care of us was probably one of the best dining experiences we've ever had - you could tell he was not only thoughtful and attentive, but he knew the beers extremely well and even was nice enough to give us a peek at the brewery. We tried all of the beers they had on tap. Our favorites were the Tripel, the New England IPA, and the Russian Imperial Stout, but everything we tried was delicious. Even the Session IPA, which I normally don't go for, was impressive. The food was tasty - we started with the Charcuterie Board, and for dinner opted for the Catch of the Day (Cod) and the Steak. The charcuterie board was very unique, with house pickled vegetables, a nice whole grain mustard, and four different types of meat. This included rabbit (so tender, our absolute favorite), deer (native to The Netherlands, it wasn't quite to our taste, but still cool to try), and two others, I believe a pork sausage which was really good, and one more meat that I don't recall. For our mains, the steak was so impressive. Perfectly cooked (we requested medium rare) and juicy...it was probably one of the best steaks I've tried. The fries were nice, as was the salad that accompanied it. The cod was the star of my dish - cooked perfectly, buttery and falling apart at the touch of a fork. The potato triangle that came with it was nice as well. The spinach salad was nice, but as I'm not really a fan of fennel, I tried to avoid that. The foam/sauce served with the cod was alright but wasn't really necessary given how nice the cod was on its own. My dining partner enjoyed the little fried prawns more than I did. I would highly recommend checking out Pension Homeland for dinner, beers, or both. I'm a little bummed we hadn't opted to stay at the hotel there, as the building was nice and had a beautiful harbor view, including the Martime Museum ship. The feel of the building was a little outdated, but in a pleasant and cozy way. I definitely would have been drinking their delicious beers at the bar or playing pool at the end of each evening! Thank you to the thoughtful young man who took care of us that evening and provided a great dining experience. Do yourself a favor and include this as a stop on your visit to Amsterdam.
