Café Gijs

Those who enjoy discovering what lies behind a row of taps have plenty to look forward to at Café Gijs. This characteristic neighborhood pub on the Ceintuurbaan boasts no fewer than 42 rotating taps. Yet Gijs doesn't feel like a modern beer hall. On the contrary, it is a genuine traditional pub where regulars, locals, and curious beer lovers easily strike up a conversation.

Always something new on tap

The extensive beer selection is the main attraction of Café Gijs. Well-known classics, local beers, and surprising brews from Dutch and Belgian breweries appear on tap. Because the selection changes regularly, you can try something different every time you visit. Unsure about all the options? Feel free to ask for advice at the bar.

The well-stocked beer fridge also deserves attention. Here you will find lambic, gueuze, and other beers with spontaneous or mixed fermentation, among others. This makes Café Gijs interesting for seasoned beer connoisseurs, but also for visitors who want to cautiously discover something new. Not a beer drinker? Wine, soft drinks, and other beverages are also available.

A café with history

Café Gijs is considered the oldest café in De Pijp and has the feel of an establishment connected to the neighborhood for generations. The dark wood, the bar, and the casual atmosphere fit perfectly with a classic Amsterdam pub. You don't come here for an elaborate dinner or a slick hospitality concept, but for a good drink, a chat at the bar, and an evening that can naturally last longer than planned.

For drinks or a beer tasting

Thanks to the combination of the extensive beer selection and the welcoming atmosphere, Café Gijs is suitable for a spontaneous drink, an evening with friends, or a small tasting. Groups can also contact the café for occasions such as a birthday, company drinks, or a private gathering. The café is located within walking distance of Sarphatipark and the Albert Cuypmarkt, making Gijs easy to fit into an afternoon or evening in De Pijp.
