Uiltje Craft

I love this bar, it’s the perfect place to come and chill and discover lots of new beers. With 30 beers on tap and many more available in bottles, you’ll be hard pressed to NOT find something you like. They rotate the selection on tap frequently so there’s always something new to try. They’re not a traditional bar so they don’t have a kitchen but you can order a pizza from across the road to enjoy with your beer! This place is a must for any beer lovers out there.

Love this bar! Thomaas, one of the bartenders, always made me and my fiancé feel welcome and has great recommendations to complement any taste.

Nice, small café. They have a great selection of special beers. I went there with three girls but we didn’t stay long. Even though the beers were nice and it is a nice place with a good location, the beers are a bit pricey if you just want to have a couple of beers. Also, there was only one employee for the entire bar on a Friday night… This is why we only had one beer and then went to the bar around the corner named ‘Het wapen van Bloemendaal’

The Uiltje bar is welcome addition to the Haarlem bar scene. With 30 (!) beers on draught there’s bound to né something for everyone. They focus on modern and popular beer styles with a lot of hop (ipa’s and varieties), stouts and barrel aged beers.
They regularly host tap takeovers and there’s a monthly bottle swap night where you can bring some of your own bottles to trade/​swap with other beerheads.
Prices are above average, but so is their beerlist. Highly recommended!

What a cool place, I love this bar and their beers. This is a small place that is focused on one thing, good beer. There is no dancing or loud music, no, it is a place for people that like good beer to come drink good beer in the company of others who appreciate it. There are always so many different kinds to try not only from Brouwerij het Uiltje itself, but also from other craft breweries from all over.
There are 30 beers on tap with a good amount usually being from Uiltje itself (they have many different unique varieties) as well as having lots more in the bottle.
What’s really nice (and unique as far as I know in NL) is that they have beer flights where you pay once price for a sampling of about 4 beers in smaller glasses. This is great for getting to try a lot of different beers without having to get totally wasted… some of the beers here are upwards of 10%.
Make sure to see my tip about friending this place on Facebook.

«Good beer-​speakeasy vibe»…that is T’Uiltje gone beer bar in a nutshell. With a range of house hops and malts with absurdly catchy names (Fuck! De kerstboom staat in de fik! For example), these guys and gals are about to turn the haarlem bar scene on it’s head. Since the opening of the Jopenkerk there hasn’t been a real focus in the craft beer scene in haarlem. until now. 30 taps and various specialty bottles, from t uiltje and renowned European craft brewery’s (mikkeller, brew fist, het ij, to name a few), brings a slice of the west to the sleepy hollow of the zijlstraat. A side street that doesn’t get much attention in haarlem other than a busy byway to the center, is now home to a very «American» concept brought about by the passion for «west coast» brewing. I would know, I’m California after all. Raw interior architecture and design are very appealing giving it a hole in the wall vibe with modern amenities. No bs, minimal and functional. The space is warm and inviting. Pint glasses taking the space of candleholders on the tables. The stools need to be taller though… as I’m writing this, sitting here for an hour, my back is struggling to figure out to support myself bottom up or top down. The table at chest level and my feet at sitting level on the foot rests of the table. Perhaps a wall unit table such as that in cut throat barber shop?. I’m an IPA man, so, I begin with the most dry, piney IPA I can ask for. Thornbridge Jaipur– IPA in it’s more extreme form. Amazing. Like a rush of piney, dry, hoppy goodness puckering my mouth with citrus and florals all at once. Next I move onto the beer flight (oh yes) the card… start with the house IPA (single hop, so, not my cuppa), good, and peppery then the velduil (a red), the ransuil (stout), and then the unforgettable «fuck, de kerstboom staat in de fik!». The last one is a cofee and chocolate oatmeal stout, that explodes with both flavors, yet has a smokey undertone that is not overpowering, hence why I enjoy it (I usually hate smokey beers), yet hits the front of the tongue with hop/​pine bitterness that does not linger. This is truly what the same says (A burning Christmas tree — with a chocolate and coffee filled holiday celebration)! I am now done writing, ff een uiltje knappen!
