    Front patio
    Terri K.

    Amazing little place for a drink. An old Locke house now a pub with light snacks/food. Right on a canal with large patios in front & back. Service was good as well. Stop by for a drink.

    This is a great bar located right in the heart of Amsterdam and right off of one of the main canals. The bar itself is rather no frills but does pour a great pint and provided you with ample outdoor seating should the weather cooperate... This location is actually very picturesque and does provide some excellent people watching. Pros- Beer Price Location Views Picturesque Cons- Crowded Smoking

    Hertog Jan.....great beer

    This cute little Old Locke House, built 1695, is the cutest little bar in Amsterdam! De Sluyswacht is a 2 story bar on the canal that serves a good selection of beer with a limited menu selection. The atmosphere is inviting and friendly, which always makes for a great experience. This is NOT the first time here....as I travel here frequently....and every time I come here it feels like I belong. No smoking....of any sorts! Just a quaint old place that serves as a watering hole in Amsterdam. I have been here when it was full to the brim and experienced being the only couple at the bar. Either way....great service with a smile! English speaking staff..... Will be back in 2 years!

    The best place to drink a beer in Amsterdam! Building was originally a lock house in 1695--small, charming and welcoming.

    My husband and I were walking around the De Pijp neighbourhood on a Saturday afternoon and was…read morelooking for a quick lunch. We have heard of Donnies, but have never been so thought this was a good opportunity to try it out. Food: Since we were looking for a light lunch we decided to share the large size of the Kapsalon Kip. The Kapsalon Kip has responsibly raised chicken, hot sauce, garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, jalapeños, cheese and wait for it...french fries! It's definitely big enough for two people and SO DELICIOUS! We kept saying "OMG, this is so good". Drinks: We ordered two ice teas and one beer. If you're a beer lover they have craft beers on their menu. Price: €19.35 Service: Service started out pretty slow when we arrived. No one came to us for 10 minutes and I went outside myself to get the menus off the tables there to see what to order. But once they realised we were there and took our order the service picked up. The waitress in the end was nice and friendly. Ambiance: It was pretty quiet on the Saturday afternoon we were there. The space is very nice and well done. Definitely the nicest doner kabab house I've ever been to. Would I go back? ABSOLUTELY! I'm looking forward to trying other things on their menu.

    OH YES!! What a treat :) finally a girl friendly junk food option .. And a very healthy one, so…read moreforget about the junk part. Great flavor, exotic add ons, craft beers and ... very hot waiters :-)) GO GO GO
