    Cool little brown bar. Great dive atmosphere. Great selections of craft beers. Good service. Hidden in a unique little alley.

    Location...

    Had a great time with great beer. Cafe Gollem was recommended by the owner of Beer Mongers here in Portland, OR., it did not disappoint.

    Good cozy spot with tons of beer options. If you decide to bring your beer outside be aware that the alley has a fairly considerable amount of bike traffic! Definitely recommended for beer fans, you won't come away disappointed.

    I came here with my tour group after the Anne Frank House. It was recommended to us because apparently it's the first bar in Amsterdam? Or maybe it was my tour guides first bar here. At any rate our large group took over the table in the back. The bartender was superb. Always refilling our drinks- probably the best cider I've ever had! They let us stay as long as we want and it was a lovely afternoon talking for hours with my new friends. The vibe is fun- very medieval. It's casual ambience. Pretty quiet during the day. But there's a full bar and it's right in the middle of a lot of sight seeing destinations. I'd recommend it for a drink They only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I did not try the food there.

    Alright, Beer Fans, this is one not to be missed. The Gollem is a cozy beer nook tucked in a small ally, so you may have to do a little searching but it is so worth it. The specialize in Belgium beers but that doesn't mean that you can't find a precious Paulaner on tap. .. And while we are at it Lord of the Rings fans, the one beer to rule them all here and in the tastiness bind them is nearly impossible to choose from this bar's magical selection, but for today, I'd have to say that it is the Gollem's own IPA with fruity notes and subtle hoppy flavor that will make happy that you stumbled on this hobbitesque bar. Yup, this hobbit was quite happy with this pub, and perhaps the only thing missing was Gandalf, but I'm sure that he is hanging out at some coffee shop down the street blowing smoke rings.. But no matter, beer fans, for this place will soon have you thinking of it as your precious all day long..

    Holy cow! This tiny tiny tiny tight little bar has better beers on tap than most large beer stores have in their cases and shelves! Morte Subite on tap! 'Nuff said.

    Good dive bar with amazing selection of beers ! Nice place to chill and try out beers

    Russian Imperial Stout

    This place is just around the corner from our hotel at NH City Center so we almost always end up here for a nightcap. Albeit small and can feel a little bit of claustrophobic, this place has tons of great beer (mostly on bottle though since they don't have many on tap). First I got the house IPA (Gollem IPA) which was very wonderful (trust me, I'm not an IPA fan) and later I got Russian Imperial Stout as recommendation from the bartender, that also tasted delicious. Bartender is friendly (and like any other establishment in Amsterdam, you get by fine with English) and you can pay by credit card (!! Very important for us from Scandinavia who are not used to carrying cash around !!) Do come to Gollem if you have time, and have the house IPA.

    Lovely small beer bar (they have wine and I believe some spirits) with an outstanding selection on draft and an incredible bottle list. The tender was SUPER cool and knowledgeable about the latest good, local beers. Nice regulars popped in who were engaging to chat with.

    Great Kraft beer
    Ann D.

    Great place for good beer. Pretty central and smaller than the one in De Pijp (but nicer ambience). Had qwak on tap and the nice Gollem IPA it had cheese and chorizo plates for beer snacks - would highly recommend. Didn't see board games (they have these in the ones in De Pijp) but the fact it's a little smaller and busier gave it a great buzz
