We first came to this place as a joke because we have a friend named Brandon and we wanted to say we had been to Cafe Brandon, but it turned out to be such a cool little local bar! There is not much for seating inside, but that worked out because it was so beautiful out when we were there. It is pretty clear that this a local spot to grab a drink after the work day which gave a little buzz to the air as we sipped on our whiskey cokes. It is right on a busy little corner so there is a lot of people watching to do as well.

The owner/manager/server without uniform laughed in my face when I asked for a non-alcoholic drink. Is this what you call service in this nasty bar?! Not surprisingly the sunny terrace was empty.

Remains a classic across the bars in Amsterdam. Especially in the summer has a lot of sunlight so perfect place to have your beer while picking up some rays. Interior remains outdated as ever but has become somewhat of a guilty pleasure by now for most the people I know. Has a new owner!

Owner is VERY disrespectful to women. Saw him get very aggressive with a women and put his hands on another that stood there in silence. Ladies beware

The waiter was unapologetically impolite. He created a unpleasant atmosphere.

A typical dutch brown bar. Dirty (they will serve you ice with the hands), interesting interior, awful-and-not-friendly service but hey... full of locals having fun. So either join that concept or leave.The best thing is that you can have an ok pizza next door.

Great little pub. Beer only and no got drinks like coffee. The Hertog Jan is a great pilsner. Good spot to stop and people watch for a break.

Cozy locals bar with a long history. Good place to pop into for a beer or two. They dont serve food but theres a good pizza place next door and an awesome frits and snack place one canal over. The staff is nice and the regular crowd is friendly.

Leffe Belgium beer on draught. Cosy bar close to the Anne Frank House site. Old world setting with comfy chairs. Dogs welcome. Ideal for a quick refreshment.

Very annoying people who are very much into what they are doing, walk through people and step on other peoples feet. The interior is pretty fun though

Very small, which could add to the charm. But the place seemed a little dirty, all the tables had some crumbs/dirt on them. The glasses were clean, but the prices were quite high for what I was expecting.Also, you have to pay 1€ to use the bathroom, so dont drink too much here!

On the outside looks like a basic brown bar. But on weekend nights it turns into a dance floor with some of the most random but good music.

Not just your typical Amsterdam brown bar. Absolute local hang and 100% one of the best spots to spend some time by yourself or with others over a few drinks and something very delicious from their menu. Plus it’s in the heart of the Jordaan.

Bar filled with locals, there might be some dancing envolved on weekendnights. 😉 Obviously one doesn’t take photos here.

Bags of character. Great location in a beautiful part of town by the canals. Large smoking room which becomes quite the party atmosphere at weekends.

Nice ‘bruin cafe’ with good selection beers and liquors. Only downside for non smokers is that the seating area is also the smoking area.

Its the perfect pit stop when bar hopping around. First get your head right "outside" then grab a brew at the bar and go sit on the movie theatre chairs in the cool and eclectic lounge room. Oh your welcome!

One of the classic dutch Bruin Cafes. It has this old school atmosphere. Mostly locals come here, and its placed next to a great pizza shop.

Highly recommended to visit Amsterdams oldest pub. Amazing find meeting some lovely friendly locals on a lazy Friday afternoon. After stopping for one drink at 7pm we left after 10.30pm having been shouted many drinks from our new local friends.

Terrace (mostly standingwith a lot of sun in the summer time. Reasonable selection of beers, mixed crowd. Lot of business people gather up for after work drinks on Thursdays and Fridays. Big smoking room inside so if youre not in to that dont visit this place. Toilets are messy. But most important thing: place is original. As in really: nothing was done to the decor for the last 30 or 40 years minimum. Typical Dutch brown cafe! Very cool.

The perfect dive bar with great draft beer, Leffe. Just 15 minutes walk from Central Station, Cafe Brandon is located on the corner of a canal/street intersection. The interior is classic.
