De Biertuin

Food is excellent with great ingredients; real stuff with real good ingredients, not flaky cheap food. Staff is friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Very good beer list including quite a few local brews, some from neighbouring countries, others from overseas. Decent lunch at affordable prices.

I woke up hungry, hungry for learning.
After getting my education on, at the Tropenmuseum, I was hungry again, but this time, the regular kind. «Biertuin» was across the street. And so I walked in…
The first thing you notice about the place is that it works really well on bright summer days (sitting outside) or for evening drinks.
The staff was really helpful but I would still prefer a wider selection for lunch. Not beers though, the list was endless.
After what seemed like an eternity (I have to admit that the fact that I skipped breakfast also influenced how I experienced time passing), food arrived!
Delicious! Very good burgers with an amazing sauce. They come with salad and side fries. I would just say to take it easy on those red cabbages, but everything else was great. Especially those fries, damn they’re good!
Something that’s not so common, but certainly welcome, wet mini-​towels provided with cutlery! After eating some sandwiches, ribs, fries or just eating with hands, that saves you an awkward WC trip (opening doors with elbows and stuff)

Always full, especially on sunny days when the terras gets completely packed — the inside, on the other hand, will probably be quieter and almost empty.
I’ve come here a few times for some beers and bites with friends, it’s an amazing place for that. Foods I’ve ordered and really: vlammetjes (spicy, beware!), pulled pork baguette and the burger, but I’ve heard the chicken is a great option. I found the burger to be pretty decent and above average for Amsterdam’s standards; loved the fries by the way.
The staff is friendly, the customers are usually young and beautiful, music is good, and the atmosphere has got a good feeling to it. I never had to wait to sit, but I usually prefer to go inside, where people don’t smoke and where the seats are a tad more private than the long tables/​benches outside — which you’ll have to share if your party is not that big.
Oh, can’t forget about the beer selection: a lot of options, including local breweries. Don’t forget to come by Biertuin next time you’re in Oost!

Went here last Friday. I live quite close by but had never been. It’s always crowded at De Biertuin and we had to wait about 20 mins for a spot. I like how they offer to get you a drink whilst you’re waiting (and put it on your tap of course)
We sat down on one of the benches outside, with four other people sharing our table. You have to be in a mood for a place like this. Pick a different place for conversations you’d rather not want to be heard by strangers sitting next to you :)
I ordered fish&chips. The fish looked really tasty but was a bit tasteless to my taste (see what I’m doing here? ;-)) Had to add quite some vinegar, salt, pepper and lemon. Could have been better. Liked the chips. The salad could have been a bit more original.
My company ordered the chicken and they liked it very much!

Why would you like this place?
— Cool patio available during the winter as well (yay for heaters)
— A varied collection of beers
— Animated atmosphere coming from the fact that it is almost always crowded.
Other worth mentioning things:
— food is just ok
— it can get very loud both outside and inside from all the chattering around.

We used to come here a lot since it’s next to our office — and indeed it’s a very popular after work place. I used to really like it but maybe I’ve just exhausted it. We came for lunch the other day — I got the pulled pork baguette that while tasty, was not pulled pork. My friend got the half chicken and a bonus hair in her apple sauce! I don’t know… I’d say if it wasn’t so convenient I’d never come here.

We went based on a recommendation from the person we rented an apartment from. He recommended the chicken and it was not a disappointment. Half a chicken spit roast with a nice blend of seasonings, juicy and flavor packed.
The staff inside the restaurant were attentive and helpful even though rushed off their feet during Easter Sunday madness. We did have one repeat order for a beer but no big deal. Outside staff were a bit less welcoming which is a shame.
Only grump about the food was the slightly mean salad serving and the use of paper ‘bowls’ for the apple sauce and salad.
Overall a solid 4 out of 5.

Great beers, great service and great chicken. The original Rotisserie chicken place in Oost. Gets very crowded any time of the week basically, but if you are patient enough to enjoy a beer at the bar or on the terrace, it’s definetely worth the wait!

Outdoor seating even in the winters (heaters over every seat) good food and a huge variety of beers. Great spot to hang with your friends, can leave you sitting there for hours enjoying the place.

After 18 months in Amsterdam and countless burgers, I can truly say this place has the best burger in town !!!

365 days a year a full terrace and a perfect bar inside to. Simple menu with classics and a wide variety of tap and bottled beers.
Try the ‘plankje’ as a shared starter small or large you can’t go wrong!
Really good staff and a fine place to spend your night/​diner.

This place has a few elements going against it (typical Dutch service with no smile) but somehow pulls ahead for a win.
The food is really good as people have discussed. We noticed that the lunch menu was a lot cheaper then the dinner prices. So we gave it a whirl and it was well worth it. Great burger and great pulled pork. Super fries and a fresh salad.
This place could warrant five stars if the service was more friendly. But if you are in your own world with friends, it’s all about the product.

Right around the corner from Brouwerij ‘t IJ, nice patio, lots and lots of beers. Staff was busy but seemed a bit overwhelmed. Food was okay. Beer was great, nice patio.

Okay, since I’m checking Unilocal now every single day for some reason… Let’s start Unilocaling too ！
De Biertuin — I’ve been wanting to visit this place for so long after it has been reviewed by Het Parool to have the best burger in town. So my expectations were obviously high… A tad too high perhaps.
Let’s start with the burger then. Visually: the burger looks very American. Sesame bun, patty royally topped with sauces, veggies and pickles. Served together with fries, salad, mayonnaise and apple sauce. Looks very appetizing! Taste: fries were still in their skins, that’s how I like it and it’s crispy too! The burger was tasty, had a good combination of sauces and toppings on the patty. Patty itself was good too! Juicy and it has this nice flame grill flavour. But I’m just rating it above-​average. The bun/​patty ratio is a bit off. The patty is way too small and the bun far too big and soft to fully enjoy it. I personally think GBK in the UK has the best burger ever… Change the burger’s patty/​bun ratio and sizes towards GBK’s and De Biertuin might have the best burger in Holland!
We also had the grilled chicken. Same setup of the plate as the burger. Looks great too and very appealing. Unfortunately the chicken was too dry. It doesn’t matter how great it was marinaded (really great!), this doesn’t make up for the dryness.
Considering the selection of beers they have, the setting, great atmosphere, kind of food and friendly waiters, this is a great place for hanging with a bunch of friends. I’m yo-​yoing between 3 or 4 stars.
Ps. We found a hair in our fries… Gross… Let’s give it 3 stars for now!

One of the best patios in Amsterdam, though it does get crowded. Great beer selection, as one would guess from the name. And the food is great too — the nachos in particular are a yummy choice for groups (they’re huge)! Perfect for lunch on a sunny day.

Such lovely atmosphere, de Biertuin is awesome for drinks on a lovely sunny day (I know they are rare!) but the food here is amazing! The burgers and the half chicken. Lekker! The beer listing is unparalleled and the scene is also chill and cool. Definite go!

Best chicken in Amsterdam. Fresh from the rotisserie, a organic farm chicken. It’s delicious, almost couldn’t stop ordering. Also ha a mixed platter (min 2 pers) With the burger, sausage and chicken. It was so good I want to eat there again today. Nice IPA’s and other beers. Nice outside terrace to eat outside year round…

Living basically next to the Biertuin is a bless. It is one of those places you can always go to for a tea, coffee, lunch, bite or –wait ofcourse!- beer. Not a pint lover, but the Château Neubourg is a recommendation for a wine-​drinking girl like moi. It’s told that they serve the best burger in town, so defo go and check that out.
The terrace outside is always crowded, and despite the heater, can get a little chilly at night. Waiters are bullshit proof and happy to help you find your perfect match in beer. Please don’t all rush to this place as I might loose my favorite spot at the bar ;)

If you are into beer and want to have drinks with friends ‘De Biertuin’ (beer garden) might just be one of the best options in Amsterdam. It is not in the middle of the city center but often still crowded and that is because it’s so awesome. They have so many beers here! All kinds from everywhere. Quite a few on tap and lots of them by bottle, there is something for everyone. This place is so lovely in the summer, when you can sit outside at the big tables, it really reminds of a German Biergarten. When the weather is getting colder you can decide to sit inside, where it is also very nice and cozy.
De Biertuin has all kinds of food as well. You can have lunch or dinner here or have a few bites with your beers. If you’re with a group op people and a few might not like beer, no worries, there are other drinks as well! I really love this place. If you haven’t been here yet, go go go! Before the summer is gone and you have to wait another year to enjoy the garden!
