Stayed in Zaandam and found this little bar with my sister. Walked in and ended up making some…read morefriends at this bar and we kept the party going almost all night. I liked this bar, lots of locals except your female bartender who wanted to apparently talk crap about me to a local about how much I was drinking. Im an American in the Netherlands of course I'll be drinking! Haha

I was going to go with four stars but then I realized Gunnery's is perfect! From the warm welcome…read moreof the gentleman behind the bar to the correct pour of a Guinness (heck them at is worth two stars alone!!!) and a fair selection of whiskies. Nothing too unique but the traditional Jameson and Tullamore Dew but also some of their Scottish friends (laphroiag and glenmorangie) and even an American cousin in Four roses. Several televisions to enjoy whatever sporting event is the "must see" event and a couple of dart boards at the back. I did not sample anything from the small menu but the owner (?) did walk around with a tray of what I thought were biterballen but was infact not full of mystery meat at all but some Asian noodle, good and on the house as well :) So to say the least and enjoyable experience and already recommended to some American colleagues. :D

AMAZING fish & chips! Yep, I'm that girl who came all the way from the US, to Holland to eat in an…read moreIrish Pub! So worth it! My hubs had the Gunnery Burger & that did not disappoint either, as he is not a lover of seafood. Good choices for all tastes here! On a side note, as a retired US Navy Chief, i noticed immediately that the woman next to us put on her coat, a Navy Peacoat, with her CTI crow on it! We were all shocked & surprised that we both served, and happened to be in this little pub far from the states!

Though Purmerend is not known for its thriving bar scene, Bonte Koe is a reliable option when…read moreyou're looking to fill your belly with high-quality beer. The bar sports a great selection of brews on tap and on bottle (including some American beers, which are notoriously hard to find in the Netherlands), making it a favorite for local beer lovers; on Saturday's you might have a hard time finding a spot to sit. But whether you're sitting or standing, the friendly staff is happy to serve you and will gladly advise you on which beer to taste next. And if you get the munchies, they're also more than willing to fry up some typical Dutch 'borrelhapjes'. All in all, Bonte Koe is a nice low-key place that's perfect for boozing and talking; we've had many a great conversation here.

Meh. Of course it's in an airport, which sets a low bar. Service was slow and perfunctory. Not much…read moreof a food selection. The Guinness wasn't poured properly.

So then I went to the bar to order some beer. And yet again, no service. Why? It was very confusing. I rarely write a bad review but I couldn't let this one slide. So my recommendation is find any where else to eat and drink.

Stumbled upon this absolute gem and cannot rate it highly enough. The drink menu is so creative and…read morethe cocktails are actually crafted, complex masterpieces- not your average vodka & sugary chemical concoction. Loved the Lavender Honey Sour & their signature drink especially but really enjoyed the adventure of trying different cocktails in comparison to the compass + walk/run/fly menu descriptions. Everyone working there took their time with us to chat professionally but casually and gave recommendations which made it an even better experience. Plus, it had a very cool ambiance and we were able to immediately be seated both times. When we travel, we like to try new places every time but this is the first time we decided we had to go back again before we left Amsterdam. Shoutout to Alina who was there both times! Not surprised to see she is an owner, she had that sh*t on lock!! Honestly an integral part of the enjoyment of our experience. Thanks for an unforgettable time!
