We visited here Friday 9th January 2026, we'd did a 13-14 km loop hike today and this was about 3/4 of the way into it. It's located north of the centre about 35-40 mins walk but it's a busy road so I am sure it'll be well served by public transport. It's located on a corner and is a very big place, you really cannot miss it, lots of glass and an industrial appearance, as others mention not unlike a Brewdog.

There's lots of seating, a large bar is quite central the kitchen is off to the side, it's a very informal and welcoming place, after work crowd, couples, older folk, in fact it is very inclusive and not just for a beer crowd. Toilets are behind the bar. It's all on one level (ground floor) and despite a couple of raised areas it's very wheelchair friendly.

Beer choice was very good, staff very friendly and it's table service. There were a few guest beers in a fridge opposite the bar I picked up an Imperial Stout from De Magisstrat brewery. We liked it here and despite being further out would definitely revisit. I think that if you were into a longer trek then this could make a great stopping off point en route to the vandeStreek Proeflokaal/ Taproom which is a further 40 mins walk north west of here. Thanks to Basementonline for this recommendation, we really liked it here, very chilled place.

On tap at Walhalla brewpub, Amsterdam, Saturday 10th January 2026, after a treacherous walk from the Buiksloterweg boat mooring and then Lowlander and then Oedipus. Pours pitch black with a tan head, sticky but bloody marvellous, liquorice, sticky burnt toffee, thick in the mouth, there's a little creaminess but smokiness comes through albeit not huge. Lovely, beer of the weekend. Score 8.3
