This place is 1 of my favourites in A'dam. They have a nice selection of beers, but just go for the Mooie Nel IPA, the best IPA of the Netherlands. The staff is very nice and they have a nice outside

Of course grab some nachos. The big plate will be a full meal for two people if you're not starving. Great vibe, good music. Love to come here pre-party.

Service is great and it is definitely the best Caribbean food I’ve had while in Europe/UK. Nachos were delicious. I highly recommend!!

Good vegetarian selections, English menu as well as Dutch. Great spot to sit on the terrace and people watch. Good customer service.

Actually the food is their weakest asset. The absolute plus is the amazingly attentive staff: super friendly and they'll never let you run dry.

Be aware of the huge Ribs. Jamaica Chicken was excellent.

The ribs at Harlem are probably the best in Amsterdam, so good they often run out before the end of the day.
