Located on the other side of the famous Magere Brug (skinny bridge). You won't find a more enjoyable spot to spend an afternoon!

The coolest bar in Amsterdam is found on the other side of the skinny bridge. You'll encounter an eclectic mix of artist, thespians, intellectuals, and well rounded friendly people eager to strike up a conversation. A stones throw away from all the highlights of the city, yet nestled away from the tourist. You'll be hard presses to find a better burger in town. Cooked to perfection and armed with a magical caramelized onion capote, your mouth will leave tingling and you'll crave a return. The two owners will make your visit memorable, and you'll feel right at home in this Dutch gem :)

Beautiful spot to sit and relax.  View is of a bridge and the water, on a relatively quiet street.

I'm torn on this review. This establishment felt much more like a bar, than pub with food. I ordered dinner and a beer and felt I was being rushed; my table had to be bused and moved as I was eating, I had to hold my dinner plate while finishing my appetizer then take my plate in when done as my table had been moved for those arriving ordering drinks. Meanwhile others drinking much more heavily than myself were not bothered at all. I can't imagine this was a misunderstanding, it was clear I was welcome unless someone was needing my spot. Great location, quiet and almost no hustle and bustle, but my appetizer was not that great and only amber beers on tap. 3-stars for great location minus food and varied service.

Enjoyed this little cozy place very much every evening. It has a neighborhood feeling to it, and the service is slightly slow but everyone is pretty friendly. It's definitely a place to go if you are wanting to socialize in an intimate space for a while. They have outdoor seating as well. Amazing goat cheese balls on their snack menu. Wine prices per bottle are fair as well.

Everything about this place was great!…read more I'll start with the service. We walked in around 4:10 and they didn't start food service for another 20 minutes. The waiter was super cool and told us to have a seat anywhere we liked and brought us a drink menu. He knew we wanted to eat so at exactly 4:30 he came and took our orders. Through out the meal he was on top of everything and even offered many suggestions! The food was spectacular as well. I had the trio of fries and my friends had other small plates that were all so good! And the sauces that come with the fries, mamma mia! We also shared the Boca's Platter and it was absolutely to die for. Do not pass this up. I repeat, do not pass this up! Between 4 people, the medium was plenty of food. The space itself was also nice. They had outdoor seating for nicer days. We went right when food service began on a Monday afternoon so can't speak to how busy it gets during peak hours. Go for the great service, go for the Boca Platter, whatever you do, just go!

Our first stop in Amsterdam for a late lunch. We ordered mushroom bruschetta, 1 medium boca…read moreplatter(meat,cheese,fish), three kinds of fries and of course STEAK TARTARE. The bruschetta was delicious and if you love blue cheese, get it...it's extremely rich and creamy. The three kinds of fries were solid; curly, sweet potato, and regular with some chili ketchups. The boca platter was HUGE and we got the medium for 4 people. Came with steak, fried shrimp, mackerel potato salad, crostini, and an assortment of cheeses and some pepperoni. Last but not least...my favorite...the tartare. The quail egg was delicately placed atop the center of the meat and placed alongside the four little crostini on the plate. It was juicy and had so much flavor, a little spicy but not an overwhelming amount of chili spice. This meal reminded me of tapas in Madrid; definitely stop by bocas and get everything!
