"With its relatively low skyline, Amsterdam doesn’t have many rooftop bars; this one, seven stories up on peak of the Volkshotel, offers a panoramic look at the city from both its spacious, windowed interior and its generously sized terrace. By day, it’s a quiet spot for breakfast and lunch; come early evening, it shifts into lively post-work-cocktail mode, with young Amsterdammers flocking here for the excellent sunset views and affordable drinks. On Fridays and Saturdays from 11 p.m. until the wee hours, the space transforms into a throbbing nightclub, with DJs spinning a mix of house and disco."

8 Best Clubs in Amsterdam | Condé Nast Traveler

"On the top floor of the ultra-trendy Volkshotel, which once housed the Volkskrant newspaper, this chilled-out bar/restaurant morphs into an offbeat club on weekends, when crowds tend to spill out onto the romantic roof terrace. The basement houses another great club, DOKA, where you can continue the party once Canvas clears out." - Clodagh Kinsella

Absolutely loved the vibe. Its a restaurant/bar on a rooftop of a hotel. We went for dinner (that by the way was really tasty) and then drinks on the terrace. We tried to make a reservation but it was full, we decided to give it a try anyway and had no problem getting a table as soon as we got there, even though it was a Saturday evening. Great views, great place, great music. The only thing why I don’t give 5 starts is because the service was really slow (but the staff were kind).

Pretty surreal location. Great for drinks, but even better for a lunch or breakfast! Can get pretty busy in the evenings, but throughout the day stays mostly empty. Service is really chill, coffee is great, view speaks for itself, and prices are reasonable. Honestly can’t recommend enough

Hidden spot, love the food and terrace. Terrace is first come-first serve, no booking available. I liked that place so much, that I spent my birthday there, they let me bring balloons, which is a very nice gesture :) staff is friendly.

Went Here with My parents & sister for a lunch at the rooftop, not too busy around 6-7 on a weekday, staff was extremely friendly, and attentive, yet young and funky. prices for the cocktails/drinks & food were also very accessible especially in regards to the location, and quality. Super nice view on the city, burger could have used a little bit of sauce, but in general a good, big filling portion! If you’re looking for something that feels very upscale but doesn’t require that price, volkshotel is definitely the way to go. Love this place, and very family friendly yet quirky and characterful!

I stayed at volkshotel and had breakfast at canvas on 7th floor and drinks also in the evening. Service was great however staff rushed everyone out at closing. The breakfast was great however allergy labels are not available for dishes at the service station. Food took some time to arrive however the staff was helpful and checked with kitchen every couple minutes Regardless of the service I will return again to the hotel itself and the rooms but Not so much for the food and service at canvas.

Funky and fun atmosphere and broad choices of menu items. Our server was so kind and energetic. Beautiful views of the city. The outdoor seating area is for people smoking and the door was open, so we did have exposure to second hand smoke. One odd thing - we ordered olives & nuts. They brought us a giant cup full of basic green olives and told us they were out of nuts. We would have preferred if they'd told us that so we could order something else.

Pretty good food, good drink list and full bar, and fantastic views! The views alone are enough reason to go. We shared a few small plates and the white chocolate cheesecake was so smooth and good. Perfect. I liked everything we had. The pumpkin coconut soup could have used a little more salt but that is my American overly-salted-food preference. I was really full by the end of the meal! Service was great. Server's name was Amir.

Here on business staying at the hotel. Came for dinner. It was a busy night so I sat at the bar. The bartender was super nice and friendly. I only have three stars mostly because food is just okay. Had the burrata app. Kind of bland and should be served with some greens or something. Then had the beet feta and risotto. It was basically one big beet dish. Everything red/purple. The beets just overpowered the whole dish. I like the outside viewing areas. Nice place to chill

Great views, from the terrace of this restaurant. It is a hotel and restaurant in an old building that used to be a newspaper printing company. The hotel it is boutique hotel and it is very nice. On the top of the hotel are traditional wooden buckets used to take a bath and hotel customers can go there sit in the tub and admire amazing views of Amsterdam. The service was a little slow and they were confused when we moved inside since it was a little chili outside. I have tried the duck here and it was prepared very nice. The burgers looked great here as well. So if you want the views of Amsterdam for lunch this is the place for you.

At the rooftop of a hotel in East Amsterdam is Canvas, a daytime restaurant that turns into a club at night. With lots of indoor and outdoor seating, gorgeous views of the city can be seen either through the numerous windows inside or standing on the terrace overlooking Amsterdam. My friend and I came for drinks around dinnertime and ordered gin and tonics, which were served quickly. Prices were higher than at other cocktail bars, but the rooftop premium was well worth it. Despite how busy the place was, the ambiance and environment fully allowed for fun, idle conversation with friends.

I love (!!) this place! Went here with two friends on a warm Friday evening a couple of weeks ago. It was a bit crowded so we had to fight for a spot on the roof terrace which has amazing views. They have a good selection of cocktails and the menu looks great. A lot of things you wouldn't necessarily expect like a starter with wild boar, Thai pancakes or marshmallow goat cheese. We selected a couple of starters to share as we were not really hungry and this was a great way to try multiple things. The only negative thing I can think of is not having enough waiters (as it was very busy). I'm definitely coming back here. (I see they just changed their menu so I'm definitely going!)

Ordered the steak, it was 70% gristle, had to keep pulling solid chunks of it out of my mouth. Ordered a side of potatoes, which were uncooked and solid in the middle. Service was very slow, when I politely complained, the lady was nonchalant about it and offered me a free beer, but wouldn't do anything else, despite them clearly selling substandard food. Considering 20% of my food was edible, yet I still had to pay for all of it, I'm very unhappy. I wouldn't come back here if you paid me to. Avoid!

Atmosphere really nice, lovely view, nice lights, lounge and reggae music. The Cheesecake cocktail- waiter said it will be sweet, but it was extremely sour and I cannot stand sour cocktails. Mojito was awesome. Cuban feel. Nice.

We went for lunch today and to get some drinks and some burgers it took almost 90 minutes and the place wasn't even that busy. There were a lot of people sitting there but barely any orders besides some cool drinks. When the burgers finally arrived I was not impressed, the bun was stale and I would have had a better burger patty at Burger King... very unimpressed considering how long we had to wait. The only redeeming factor is the fries were crunchy... So yeah sure the view of the city is fairly amazing and the open deck is wonderful on a sunny day but if you are thinking of grabbing a quick bite to eat/drink forget about it.

It is the renewed Canvas bar on the top of the building. 4 stars for the terrace and the view over the city but not for the food and service. It is very average bar food, which is good when you drink fresh beer. The service is very much on the slow and sloppy side. It is strange because there are a lot of waiters and waitresses but for some reason they barely pay you attention... so grab them when you can and place as much orders as you can :)

What a view! Come for a drink just to check out how gorgeous Amsterdam is from above. Although they have a larger and less traditional menu than other bars, the menu isn't particularly interesting. We couldn't find much that sounded appetizing. The gin and tonics were good (as they should be for 10 euros each). But... Did I mention the views?!

There aren't a lot of rooftop terraces in Amsterdam so this is a great option for a sunny day. The staff is very friendly. Although they did not have any vegan options on the menu the chef was more than happy to prepare me a delicious vegan bulgur salad.

Good place to go for dinner and a few drinks. Has a beautiful skyline and in good weather would have a gorgeous view

The food is good here, but the staff pays zero attention to patrons as they are way more interested in socializing with each other than customer service. Just walked in, sat down for 15 mins waiting for someone to at least say hi and bring a menu over, it wasn't even busy. Walked right out with out any of the 5+ people working there giving a crap. Wake up, pay attention, do your job.

Please save your money and your taste buds. Extremely small portions of tasteless food. No one really enjoyed their meal and the service was the slowest of all the nice restaurants we dined at in Amsterdam.
