De Biertuin Prinsengracht – Amsterdam’s Canal-Side Beer Paradise

Your New Favorite Canal-Side Beer Garden

Picture this: you’re sitting on wide wooden benches alongside one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful canals, choosing from 25 craft beers on tap while the aroma of rotisserie chicken wafts through the air. Welcome to De Biertuin Prinsengracht, where German biergarten tradition meets Amsterdam’s vibrant beer culture in the most spectacular waterside setting.

Amsterdam’s Most Impressive Beer Selection

With 25 beers on tap and over 120 bottles in their legendary “Beer Bible,” De Biertuin offers one of the city’s largest beer collections. You’ll discover everything from beloved Belgian classics to cutting-edge brews from Amsterdam’s own microbreweries. The knowledgeable staff genuinely love helping you navigate this liquid treasure trove, whether you’re seeking a familiar favorite or ready to explore something completely new.

More Than Just Great Beer

De Biertuin has earned its reputation for serving “the best burger in town,” but the real star might be their famous rotisserie chicken, slow-cooked to perfection and served with comfort food sides that pair beautifully with beer. From hearty lunch dishes to six classic main courses in the evening, every meal is designed to complement your beer selection.

Year-Round Canal-Side Bliss

Those iconic long beer tables stay outside all year, heated in winter and sun-drenched in summer. The custom-made wooden benches and tables create an instant community atmosphere where locals and visitors naturally strike up conversations over shared appreciation for great beer. It’s this authentic biergarten spirit that makes De Biertuin feel like a neighborhood gathering spot rather than just another tourist destination.
