Café ‘t Gasthuys

This pub is a gem of Amsterdam! Very cozy or how they say in Dutch «gezellig» place to be, prices are more than reasonable and the food that one orders will be in front of you in a split second. I definitely recommend grabbin’ a pint behind the bar, this because the bartenders are truly nice and humorous folk who make it there task to give you a good and pleasant night at their bar, It’s hard not to feel welcome in this pub.

An affordable gem in a sea of overpriced tourist traps!
EVERY time I visit Amsterdam I come here, for the following reasons…
— The steak is always cooked to perfection and the chips and garlic butter sauce that goes with it are delicious
— The drinks are so well priced for Amsterdam whether you want la chouffe on tap, prosecco or (if you’re an expat) a strongbow, they have it at a good price. Good selection of beers.
— The staff are always friendly and happy to chat or recommend something. They don’t ever hurry you even if the place is really busy
— The atmosphere is great and they usually play great music, also it thankfully isn’t too well known by tourists
— The décor is cosy, perfect place to escape a rainy day for a few hours. Plus they have a cat. All the best places have a cat.

Café ‘t Gasthuys is one of Amsterdam’s absolute marvels. In such a wonderful and diverse city Gasthuys is a beacon. Massive generalisation perhaps, but in years living here I’ve found Dutch meat to be of very varying quality, that’s where Gasthuys comes in. Quality steaks, prepared excellently and served with brilliant Belgian chips and sauce you want to shower in.
The interior is great and the staff are super friendly.
They also have a student discount of 10%.

I can’t believe this place is 30 years old and not on Unilocal!I was in the touristy part of town and desperately looking for something not touristy. I stumbled across this restaurant/​bar and it was perfect!
Ended up eating at the bar because the restaurant part was hopping! A historic location with a ton of ambiance– could be romantic for a couple and even handle larger groups (site says partied up to 16 will fit in there). Thursday night crowd looks to be mostly locals, bartenders were great and I had a huge ribeye dinner, a cocktail and a beer, all for under 15 euro. The menu is pretty varied and I’d imagine everyone can find something. There was even bar type food like tacos and small plates. I will definitely return if I’m fortunate enough to return to Amsterdam.
