BeerTemple
About
BeerTemple is Amsterdam’s only American‑style beer bar, proudly located on Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 250. Since opening in 2009, it has offered a staggering selection of 50 beers on tap, featuring 30 American draft choices, at least 10 European beers, and a range of house brews from the in‑house brewery Poesiat & Kater. The bar also stocks 100‑150 bottled and canned varieties for those who prefer a quieter drink. In addition to beer, the menu includes classic bar favorites such as New York‑Style chicken strips, wings, onion rings, corndogs, and vegan‑friendly bitterballen. Located in the heart of Amsterdam’s centre, BeerTemple serves as the second stop on the popular Morebeer Tour. Visitors who finish the tour at BeerTemple receive a free t‑shirt as part of the tour’s rewards program. The establishment welcomes groups but advises against parties larger than ten people to ensure a comfortable atmosphere. With a friendly, informal vibe and an extensive beer selection, BeerTemple is a must‑visit for craft‑beer enthusiasts and those looking to experience authentic American pub culture in the Dutch capital.
