My friend and I had a wonderful summer day at this place. The industrial style is very cool, there is a lot of space to sit inside and outside. Since it was a warm day, we had lunch inside and sat outside for drinks. I had a burger which I found very tasty, the service was really fast, I was surprised because the restaurant was full. After we could enjoy outside laying on the pillows that they have next to the water. I did miss service at that place, If you want to drink something you will have to walk inside to order it for the rest we had a great experience. I would definitely go back soon . read more

I was accidentally booked by my company at the doubletree Amsterdam wharf and was so disappointed until I found out this restaurant. I would have given 5 stars but the food took awhile and I was by myself. Other than that, ambience was great, very cool laid back vibe. Felt comfortable dining alone. Food was great, I had the fish dish. Service was great and server checked back in assuring that the food was coming acknowledging the wait. Great for friends, family and even a night alone! read more

Cool, cool spot - perfect for my first outing to the NDSM! "Beach" front seating and a great interior bar playing some amazing music. The staff are all very loopy though, walking around dazed and leaving us confused whenever we tried to flag them down for food and drink and they had some strange criteria for where they could/couldn't serve us. Overall though, it is a great location for a bar! Our group just had snacks, but I don't really think I'd want to splurge on a full meal here. I ordered what was labeled as nachos but they were really just tortilla chips, hardened cheese, a tomato/cucumber/parsley topping that I assume was meant to be pico de gallo and served with a side of thousand island dressing. ABSURD! (quest for nachos in Amsterdam continues...) read more

This place definitely has character. It's built out of shipping containers. A very pleasant place with available family style food. Food was delicious. Recommend the mushrooms for appetizer. read more

Pllek - It's a bunch of shipping containers! - Beach Bars Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Great food. Great place. The staff were very nice. Right on the water and a very cozy ambience, feels like a more local place to chill and is a good escape from the busy centre. Highly recommend the MRY burger and smoked sausage burger (if you like sauerkraut). Well worth the ferry ride. read more

Great chill atmosphere, original desjgn, good food but not cheap. Perfect for sunset, dinner menu starts at 18:00 read more

Pllek - Beach Bars Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Our friends recommended this place and the view IS really cool with beach/fire pit area BUT the dinner menu is VERY limited. The lunch menu looks good but they won't serve it at dinner. Dinner menu is pricey but that's not what stopped us...the poor selection is. We tried to make due and order the kids pizza and fries since we'd already ordered drinks but they wouldn't even let us order fries alone!!! The mojito I ordered wasn't even a good one :( totally disappointed and it wasnt easy to get to. read more

Pllek - Cool beach and view - Beach Bars Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

When the sun is out this is the closest to a beach you will find in Amsterdam! It has a small sandy area and, if you dare, you could even swim in the IJ. They change their food menu weekly with at least always one vegetarian option. Their beer menu is also very decent with options from unusual breweries. read more

Do not go for the food There is plenty in town. It is the experience . We had average low average pizzas - I know we wanted basic as we had fancy all week. For kids it's fine for us lousy, my husbands asparagus dinner was excellent . The bread excellent , the chaos fun to people watch. Desserts good. Drinks average Take the ferry it's free and fast and fun. You are in a shopping yard that looks sketchy driving in by Uber but that's part of the fun. The beach and outdoor area is fun and packed with partners and it gets cool st night being right on the open water. Worth the visit but don't go with high food expectations. read more

The view and the ambiance is good and the dj music ( at least when there on sunday afternoon) was great... However, the food was terrible... Waited more than an hour for it to arrive (despite several reminders to the waiter), when it came the food was not warm and tasted not good at all. The waiter when told gave no reaction or explanation or apologies... Go there for only drinks and nothing else. read more

The food was eh. The waiter was rude to my girlfriend when she asked about the salads. He said "You can just look at the menu". Along with that the place was miserably hot in the summer time. Other tables were provided water on the hot day right away without asking, we had to wait and ask again. Asked for the check and had to wait for another waiter to come around. Bad experience. Cool design and scenery, not a good experience. read more

Nice place on a chill location . Located on the shore of the North of Amsterdam , you'll need to take a free ferry ride to get there . The venue itself , PLLEK literally means PLACE in Dutch ( actually written with just one L though ) , and is created off a bunch of containers . The kitchen staff are professionals , the beers are cold and if the weather is great it's one of the best spots of Amsterdam to get your teeth whitened ( read : get a tan ) . You're near the water on a city beach with a great view , you're surrounded by old industrial buildings and outside of the crowded city center . . . nothing wrong with that ! read more

You come here for the beers and the view. But not for the food. So get a few bites, a lot of beer and kick back and people watch

Good food and great atmosphere. Nice view even in inclement weather. We were the only table with a kid in the restaurant, but they were family friendly and we didn't feel out of place at all with our toddler. read more

The atmosphere is great. Screams industrial chic. We came mid afternoon so fairly quiet and only one waitress, so service was a bit slow. Decent pub food, but nothing crazy. On a sunny day the patio would be a great place to have pints all afternoon. read more

It's sunny outside, you are thirsty, you need to see some people and you want something different??? This is THE place!!! read more

Terrible customer service. We waited what felt like an eternity for someone to acknowledge and seat us. After being passed by a dozen times by different servers, and repositioning ourselves to be more obvious, we finally approached the bar to see about ordering for sitting outside. Bartender must have smoked up prior to his shift as he was unable to confirm exactly which menu items were available for outside service. After a painful 5 minutes of talking to him, and him inquiring other employees, and no one having definitive answers, we cut our losses and made our escape. read more

The Atmosphere is incredible, waitresses and waiters were very pleasant, and the food was delicious. Good on ya

A great place to hang out and have some great food at. Whether it's sunny out or pouring down, Pllek has a really nice atmosphere. Really nice escape from the city, and great views of the river! read more

If only for the great view and cool live music, this is already a good place to hang out. It has a very cozy atmosphere inside, which you wouldn't probably have guessed only by the outside looks (made from containers). It's is just by the water at Amsterdam Noord side. Very easy to reach with the NDSM ferry from Central Station. It can be pretty crowded and maybe you have to wait a little bit depending on what you order but overall the staff is very friendly. Not sure if they have it every day, but there was live music, some jazz style. Which was really cool. And I also loved the big fire they had in the middle of the place. Probably they do it only during winter time. I can't really judge the food since I went only for meeting some friends and have a few drinks. Which will certainly be a reason to come back during summer time. They have a great terrace by the river, with a fantastic view. read more

Pllek - And they have live music. So cool - Beach Bars Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere, great staff and a wonderful place during the summer (you can sit on the water). Would highly recommend the ravioli read more

Cool place, but sat at an outside table for 30 minutes and didn't get any attention, even moved to an inside table and still no attention. Even more disappointing being primary a meat eater with the menu being mostly vegan dishes. Eventually got up and left (still unnoticed) and walked over to IJ-Kantine and received attentive service and was able to pick from a more diverse menu. read more

Pllek is a good place for a sunny day outside with a great view from Amsterdam. The food is not consistently good, I have been there in 5 different t occasion and have good experiences and disappointing ones. They service is friendly but most of the time they seam under staff... So be patience and enjoy. read more

Such a lovely, and unexpected, spot! The exterior is legitimately a collection of shipping containers, but the inside is so open, airy and cute. The decor feels like something you might find in SoHo, with large wooden tables, small glasses vases with flowers and a modernized-industrial feel. At dinner time, you get a beautiful view of the sunset over the water out of the huge floor to ceiling window as well. The service was very quick and helpful as well. I ordered the special which combined cooked green beans, cous cous, sauteed mushrooms, tempeh and sweet potato. Every bite was delicious and so full of flavor, the many elements came together so well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area, the ferry ride across the water is even a nice touch, bringing you away from the business of the city. This would also be the perfect place to stay for a while, sipping a few drinks with friends. read more

I visit Amsterdam several times a month and was excited to check out Pllek. The water frontage, location, and building, themselves, are seriously cool. But on the evening I visited, the service was non-existent. Tried first sitting outdoors where servers where bringing drinks and food out to patrons. After about 15 minutes of being ignored, I figured maybe you were supposed to order indoors. No problem. Went in to inquire of one server and was curtly told that food was only available if seated indoors. This, despite all the folks eating outside and being served out there. Ok, so I sat down after finding a menu on my own. After about ten minutes, flagged down a woman who appeared to be a manager (?) and asked to order. I had a few questions about the menu, politely answered, I ordered an entree and a beer. Then she informs me that food will take at least 1 hour. I asked why and she said something about the table numbers changing. Note that they weren't, to my eye, all that busy. So I said, well, then I'd just have a bowl of soup figuring that's already made, right. No, that would take the same amount of time. Ok, just the beer, then. 10 minutes later, it arrives delivered by another server. I ask to pay then, and was curtly told that since I ordered from another colleague, I would have to pay her. While drinking my beer, a party of three locals sat at the adjoining table and had a very similar experience and walked out. Now, I will say that most of the people there seemed to really be enjoying themselves. But not many of them were actually eating or drinking anything both inside and, especially, outside. I began to wonder how many people were just there to hang out. I am still hopeful that this was just one VERY off evening at Pllek, and I will give it one more shot in a few weeks. But, so far, I am MUCH more inclined to go to the neighboring Noorderlicht where I've repeatedly had great food and decent service with a similar vibe and view. read more

Holy moly. What a find. This place is great. A wonderful escape from the city. Pleasant, relaxing and very mellow.

Lovely place, should have more service minded staff tho.. food it self is totally awesome!

Really enjoyed the atmosphere: bustling, cold drinks and good vibes. It was the ideal place to be on a hot day. And another plus was the friendly and fast service. Smiles all round! read more

First of all, I was impressed by the service - I rarely had to wait to order a drink. And this on a busy Friday evening! As a group of nine people we were stuck with a set menu. Usually I would hate that but this time it worked out really nicely. We got three different starters to share (crispy mushrooms, veal's neck and a salad) and two main courses dishes (fish, meat, chips). All dishes were very tasty and there was more than enough to eat. If I had any complaint it was that the food could have been a little warmer. But the main thing was that this was a surprisingly good meal. read more

Incredible view! Highly recommend going there for at least a drink and enjoy an open view of the water and city landscape! Food wise, definitely recommend their dinner menu, good selection of appetizers and main courses. Excellent presentation and tasting! On the other hand lunch is pretty mediocre, nothing to write home about. read more

Nice spot with plenty of seating in the NDSM area of Amsterdam. Make sure to come on a nice day, since sitting outdoors is the main attraction here. Staff were very friendly, although one lady behind the bar had an attitude. Wait staff use a handheld POS system to take your order and transmit it to the bar/kitchen. Not sure if all the bugs are worked out, seemed like the girl taking my order had to solve a Candy Crush Saga level before the order would go in (tons of clicking). Bar also prints out tickets with each order before giving them to the waitresses. It's so windy out there that the tickets usually blow off the tray as soon as they walk outside. May want to omit the paper. They have live music playing out on the patio from time to time, had a great duet when I was there last. read more

Really nice café. They have 7 Deugden beer, which is really good! Also a very cool location.

The interior is really cool and definitely worth a visit. The waiters were also friendly. The food we had was decent, but portions could be a little bigger compared to the prices. read more

This restaurant is very unique in many ways. Located in Amsterdam Noord, a post-heavy industrial area with cutting-edge architecture, Pllek is housed in converted cargo containers. A restaurant by day. A disco at night. Other features include a yoga studio and a man-made beach to relax on and to take in the panoramic view of the river. Yoga classes are every Saturday and Sunday. In the summer, class is held on the beach or indoors depending on the weather from 10:30-12:00. Classes are in English and/or Dutch. Inside you can chill with your pals on sofas or by the fireplace. Ride a bike to Pllek to enjoy amazing high-quality organic sandwiches, mint tea, or fresh juices. They also serve breakfast, dinner, and drinks. There is an open kitchen to watch and chat with everyone who is working hard to prepare your meal. For lunch, check the chalkboard for the Broodje van de Week. Healthy, fresh, reasonable, and a very fun, hip staff. www.pllek.nl and www.naturalyoga.nl for more information. read more

With an urban appearance Pllek is a bastion situated just outside the banks of the IJ river giving you a splendid view over the industrial sight over Amsterdam. It has an very nice ambience and serves a wide arrangement of drinks and bites for you to enjoy as you sit near the open fireplace (outside or in). Sometimes the staff can act a little hectic but hey, it's a busy and popular place. read more

Cool spot. Nice views over the water, good beers and bites. Can't say much more - perhaps they could grow their collection of beers a bit.

This place is really cute but unfortunately every time I've been here at night the bar staff is pretty rude. The bartender refused to make the drink I was trying to order though admitted to having all the ingredients to make it. This was kind of just funny to me. Didn't get what I wanted but enjoyed the atmosphere. read more

Amazing food and fun atmosphere! Would definitely go again especially in the warmer months, they have a cute patio.
