Loved this small and intimate music venue. Came especially from UK to see an acoustic show by Richard Hawley which was superb. Great view and sound. Excellent bar service and reasonably priced. Super easy access via free ferry from Centraal station. Will visit again.

I visited Tolhuistuin as part of the Amsterdam's Grachten Festival and saw a few performances by up and coming (classical) performers. A large hall with a lovely bar, and a huge terrace overlooking the river/harbour. Magnificent!

First musical experience in the city, and I left happy. The ferry from Central Station leaves you at the door of the building. The concert hall is good, it has 2 floors. On the upper floor there are some benches if you want to sit down for a bit. On the ground floor there is the bar for drinks. The acoustics are good. They have lockers for 2 euros. The only thing I did not like was the smell of urine in the bathroom area.

Delicious we ordered amazing plant-based smash burger with garlic sauce unagi and pickles on a brioche bun, satay of chicken thighs with real peanut butter thanks to Tessa for good hospitality

Atmosphere is definitely unique : spacious restaurant area in intimate lighting, plants wall ; outdoor seating relax and more of a sunny sunday feeling ; bar is cosy and classy, with area for live music. There is an elevator to access the restaurant (otherwise main door is reachable by outside stairs)

Service is horrible. They forgot our orders and came very infrequently to take orders. At some point, we had to wait 30 minutes before we could order and then they told us the kitchen was closed. We constantly had to remind them that we ordered something, didn't get any cutlery, asked three times for the bill. They just could not remember anything.

Nice view and very friendly staff who went over and beyond to help us get the perfect spot for an interview

This is one of my favourite spots in Amsterdam. Literally three minutes from Central Station is an amazing garden with a stage, various forms of sitting apparatuses, drinks, and a wonderful sense of seclusion and hiding from what's across the IJ. If you join the Facebook group, you'll get updates on what events are going on. Most recently I stumbled upon a movie screening and a storytelling event in English.

Ok so I like that there aren't huge lines everywhere. I like the price of the beers. I like the view to the 'south' of Amsterdam. But guys.. did you forget to build a proper entrance?? It was so hard to find. Will go again with my knowledge (you enter wherever you want :D )

The huge bean bags outside on the lawn. The sun until late. The location just off the ferry and away from the tourists. Enough said?

Visited this venue for a dance music event. Pretty cool venue. I didn't try the food there, but definitely will when I return there.
