Fred's Top Picks
My top picks are the pubs that are must visit should you be in Amsterdam. They are a cut above the rest.
Fred lives in Los Angeles but often travels to Amsterdam.. You can follow him on twitter as @FredWaltman or read his twitter feed below
Note that we regularly update what constitutes a top pick so places can be relegated from the list if their beer range dips or there are other significant changes.
Only Dutch beers. |  |
Brown cafe with an amazing beer selection. New owner, Owner Yuri Hegge left. Old name of this place was Foeders. |  |

Honorable Mention
These are pubs are worth the effort to visit, if you have the time.
Pub visited by local brewers, often test brews on tap. Most beers are from Amsterdam, a selection of 75 (bottled) beers of the most interesting beers from local brewers. Frequent tap takeovers. |  |
Harbor-front restaurant, bar, hotel and brewery. On the grounds of the Marine Terrine, the former home of the Royal Dutch Navy. Beer is served after 11am. No cash accepted, only credit and pin cards. |  |
Under new ownership. A mix of Dutch, American and European beers. |  |
New (Feb 2020) beer centered restaurant from the owner of Foeders. Comfort food from around the world and a good selection of beers to go with them. The "Lager" in the name refers to restaurant's location ("lower") rather than the type of beers carried. |  |
