Bierproeflokaal in de Wildeman

Great beer bar in Amsterdam. Very good selection of amazing craft beers from around the world, plus a friendly and helpful staff. Tip: don’t drive home :)

This was another quick drink stop for us and it was a solid place to grab a quick beer before being on our way. The ambience was a bit dark, dank, and musty, kind of like an irish pub that needs a bit of cleaning. But other than that, they have a decent dutch selection on tap … and surprisingly no heineken, which was nice to see.
3.5 stars.

Beautiful bar that transport you to another time, many different types of beers and great service. The price is very good, it felt comparable to other beer joints. My husband and I came in for one beer and ended up staying for 3 each, love the ambiance.

Small and cozy bar. Old school bar. Good selections of craftbeers there. Had the rye sour with raspberries in it to give it a unique flavor to it. Highly recommend this bar while in Amsterdam to try Dutch craftbeers while visiting The Netherlands on your travels. There’s usually about 10 of their beers on tap.

HELL. YES.
The boyfriend and I were worried we’d hate Amsterdam. We don’t like weed and obviously will only LOOK at the red light district (not patronize ;)) so we searched Unilocal feverishly for a great beer bar to keep us amused. Lucky for us just like Amsterdam is a mecca for healthy food, so is it a mecca for BEER.
This place is amazing. We were taken back a bit by first as it looks a bit cluttered and rundown on the inside, and smelled of old spilled beer but you’ll get over this pretty quickly. The beers here are DELLLICCIIOUUSS.
Initially I ordered a white hef the bartender recommended from Weihenstephan, and it was great. I’m admittedly a bit biased though, I always like their hefs. However slowly I started looking around and noticed almost everyone ordering the Omnipollo Nebuchadnezzar IIPA, and so I hopped on the band wagon and was happy I did! It was a light, clean hop with no muggyness they can sometimes get. I loved it!
So yes, leave your inhibitions and uptight American self at the door, and enjoy some of the yummiest beers you’ve ever had :)
Save water, drink beer.

The bar tender was great helping me pick beers. Can confident say they were the best beers of my life. Good atmosphere, good location, good beer. Would definitely suggest stopping by if you visit Amsterdam.
CHEERS!

Great little pub. Beer was good. Snacks were perfect (just little nibbles). It’s right in the center where all the touristy places are but seems to maintain a «local charm». Small section outside to sit if you want to people watch. Bartenders were helpful and friendly, quick to let us taste a few different brews before ordering.

Proeflokaalen is definitely what you are looking for if you want to try other brews than the common ones. When in Amsterdam last weekend I visited like ten different pubs or «proeflokaalen». This is one of the better ones based on that they have a variety of brews — local AND international and not only Belgium/​Dutch style.
Wildeman is rather tiny, but if you go here during daytime and not necesssary hectic weekends and evenings you will enjoy it in a calmer pace.
They serve like 25 different brews and not only necessarily BEER. So if you or someone in your company are not a beerdrinker you can still find great brews that are sweeter or fruitier without being like sweet soda.
Helpful bartender.
They accept credit cards.

Good beer selection, but staff seems a bit disinterested at times. Makes it hard to order anything.

Amazing selection of crafted beer and very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Easy to find using Unilocal,Wednesday crowd around dinner time was ok and I had no problem finding my own spot :)
Tell the staff your preference and they will surprise you! I will definitely come back:)

Amsterdam classic. One of the oldest pubs around. Always packed in the evening, and for good reason. Amazing variety of beers on tap from all over the world, with a bias for Dutch, Belgian, and German brews — maybe 20 on tap at any given time. (Download their app for a look at the current list.) When a beer runs out, they just erase it and roll out the next one!
Oh and they have like hundreds of bottled beers too… but I’d stick to the tap! I believe they have some special ciders and whiskies available as well.

Tons of local beers can be found here and an excellent beer appreciating vibe. It can get full pretty easily but becomes sparser after midnight. Great place to sip on your beer and meet a local when it’s not crowded. I met a guy here that says he has been going three times a week for over twenty years.

Great beer selection, tasty snacks, nice people.

This is a great example of how Unilocal helps you discover hidden gems in your neighborhood. I’m in this area all the time but have never been inside this bar.
I was looking for a convenient and interesting place to catch up with some friends over drinks. With 200+ bottled beers and 10+ on tap, there is something to please everyone. They also have a secret cider menu, you just have to ask! Overall, it is a great place to hangout. Unfortunately, their food was okay… there weren’t many choices for snacks so try to eat something before you start drinking.
Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable! It attracts a mix of locals and tourists.

ATTENTION: this is absolutely one of the best beer bars I’ve discovered, European or otherwise.
The Unilocal reviews drew me in with a fellow beer-​loving friend. We asked the (quite knowledgeable) bartender what he recommended per our tastes. I like strong hops, so he recommended two VERY good beers that I’ve been searching for since returning to the US: Proatnat 2014 American Pale Ale and Joban IPA.
Also — but NOT recommended — we tried genever, which is supposedly what you’re expected to try when in the Netherlands. DON’T. I mean, unless you drink Everclear for fun. (No, it’s not that strong, but it is that disgusting.)
Lastly, this must be mentioned: by the time we left BidW (that’s my new abbreviation for this place), we were, uh, having a great time and asked where to get cheese. Well… let’s just say we didn’t leave without a healthy slice of emental. We didn’t know it was emental until a stranger on the street tried it without hesitation, but that’s another story.
For about 6 drinks, I hardly spend 20 Euro. So… you’re sold, right?
Go here. I’d tell you to have a great time, but I already know you will.

As the tagline says, this is as good as it gets for a beer bar! World class selection of the best European beers and a some nice selections from the United States as well. We struck up a conversation with the bar tender about our favorite beers. Once he knew we were for real, he started bringing us the occasional sample. He was extremely friendly and since we were one of only two tables in the place early on a Friday afternoon, we received plenty of attention.
This little pub is a classic and a must-​see for anyone in Amsterdam who loves beer. The ambiance is pure gold with dark wood bar and the funkyness you can only get in a building that is probably a couple hundred years old. de Wildeman will be on my list of beer spots every visit from now on. Cheers!

Great little bar in the alley with an impressive selection of Dutch beers to choose from. Eighteen beers on tap with 200+ in bottles will keep a beer drinker happy for quite some time to come. They serve snack food along with a special of the day. The day I was there they had a BBQ pork sandwich as the special that was very very tasty and went rather well with my beer. There’s plenty of seating outside but I prefer the gezellig atmosphere inside. They have some great fruit beers here too.

Wilderman is the place to go for a beer in Amsterdam ! Centrally located at one of the small streets this cozy bar is welcoming your from the moment you even only pass it by. Outside seating in the pedestrian area makes a lot of sense during warm summer evening. But inside has great climate dark wood bar and many, somehow separated, almost like hidden tables. This is what I like most in this old stylish pubs.
But first and foremost Wilderman is a place where you will get delicious beers and good whisky. Bartenders are very engaged and willing to help you make a choice based on your preferences. This is very helpful, especially if you want to try new things but you don’t want to go too far from your taste.
We were supposed to be back second time, which did not happen due to time constrains. But I will happily revisit every time I-​am-​sterdam (-:

The Wildman was the first craft beer pub we went to in Amsterdam, and it ended up being our favorite.
Excellent selection of craft beer that featured Erdinger, Weisephaner, Rogue and Anchor. A bit of a limited selection of snacks. That said, the cheese plate and spicy nuts hit the spot. This cozy little pub made us feel right at home working on a few beers. The bartenders are quick to help you out and knowledgeable about the brews that they offer.

his was a very attractive traditional Dutch place where our mustachioed waiter served us up some local highlights to end our boozy evening, including De Proevel — Tonny at a late-​evening-​dangerous 5.7pc!
Situated in a former distillery.

Amsterdam hat viele schöné Ecken, Restaurants und Kneipen, aber hier war es am schönsten!

Sehr gute Wahl meiner Freunde! Unglaublich viele Biersorten gibt es hier. Das Ambiente und das Publikum passt. Die Preise sind etwas gehoben aber Amsterdamtypisch. Hingehen lohnt sich!

Sehr gemütlich, wunderbar Erfahrung In de Wildeman

Vielleicht ein bischen zu touristisch für ein echtes Bruin Café, aber dafür eine großartige Bierauswahl. Mehr als 200 Sorten aus aller Herren Länder die eine Vielfalt an Geschmack (und Umdrehungen) bieten, die man sonst selten bekommt. Dazu sitzt man auch noch sehr gemütlich. Typisch Amsterdam ist das Ganze aber ein wenig hochpreisiger, darauf sollte man sich definitiv einstellen. Ansonsten ist dieses proeflokal (Probierkneipe) aber nur zu empfehlen.
