"Bar Joost is a lively neighborhood bar in the East side of Amsterdam. The friendliness of the residents, the intensity of the street and the craft products from the neighborhood makes this bar. Come on weekdays for a cozy coffee with your colleagues, hang in the bar for the latest news, play games with your girlfriend or come and try some local beers or their magnificent Moscow Mule.
The weekends starts with a nice vrijmibo (dutch for Friday afternoon drink) with free meatballs, turkish bread and lots of beer. On Friday and Saturday nights you can definitely expect a nice party at bar Joost . On Sunday the peace will return and the perfect Bloody Mary will be served to cure your hangover." - All Essentials
Visited as the Amsterdam marathon was going on outside. Lots of people both out and inside. Not sure if it’s always busy or if it was the marathon crowds.
Cool old bar that feels used. The beer selection was very good. Both on tap and bottle. Lots of craft beer, predominantly Dutch breweries.
Bartender was efficient and helpful. Recommended place.

If you're looking for a nice and cozy place near that area, that's the spot for you! The atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff members are super friendly and ready to assist you. The music is great and not super loud, so you can comfortably have a talk. Highly recommended.

Horrible service from the waitress with black hair, she stole the drink off me and my friends hands without any explanation. Only after we chased her inside to ask she replied we could not drink outside on the bar terrasse. I am still flabbergasted at such unprofessional behavior.

Great local bar with a wide selection of beers. It’s rather small but it definitely adds to the atmosphere. The staff were attentive and welcoming, so were the patrons. It was a fun pitstop as most of people were local and there were only a few tourists. Of the tourists that were there, everyone was really friendly and chatty to them adding to the vibe.

Such a great place with the friendliest bartender. I’m so happy we dropped by this place. Great beers (only local breweries, thumbs up) and awesome combinations of gin tonics. Indie, folk and rock and a friendly atmosphere, combined with the drinks makes this an easy full rating!

What a fabulous little pub with a wonderful local craft beer and cider list! The waiter/bartender spoke English very well with us and was more than happy to make food and drink recommendations. There was no table for our party of 5 but he let us sit at a table that was reserved for someone who wouldn't be there for a bit. Great vibe, music and decor. It felt like a lot of locals hanging out there and everyone was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend going a little out of your way to visit. We took an Uber from Central Station to Joost and it was about 20€, worth it since it was pouring down rain. This place was recommended to our friend by a brewer!

Very nice little craft beer bar near the port district. Lots of beers to choose from including some of the nearby craft breweries, friendly service and good atmosphere. Little terrace outside!

Great low-key / reasonably hipster-free place to grab a craft beer, or two, or three.. quick at the bar, nice people. What more could you want:-). Oh yeah, alcohol free beer for anyone who wants it. Next time perhaps.
