- Tom SnoijinkOctober 2, 2016Pllek is your go-to spot if you are looking for a nice view in combination with drinks and good vibes. Get yourself set up behind the fireplace and enjoy the view.
- Karri SaarinenJune 25, 2016Take the free ferry to NDSM werf from central station and explore Amsterdam North & industry charm. Perfect place for drinks & food is the beachbar Pllek. Also great in winter: there's an inside area.
- Jonathon LauOctober 14, 2015The food is fresh and healthy. The scene is relaxed with freelance creatives working on laptops, couples chilling on the sofas by the fire and larger groups enjoying the view.
- Lindsay SmuldersJuly 20, 2017Beautiful view and great city beach. Come here to relax and have a good night out. Even better when the weather is nice outside, so safe it for a sunny day. ☀️
- OlinJune 24, 2017Great place for a drink by the water on a sunny day! Dress code: swimming suit, flats or flips flops. Ferries run every half hour and be sure to get the ferry on the left from Centraal.
- Lyndsey HendersonAugust 31, 2019Pllek has an incredibly chilled vibe for a bar just outside of the city. Book ahead if you want sit down food or just grab a drink and sit on the sand. You can even swim if you like.
- Karin BDecember 18, 2014Most relaxed and laid back spot in Amsterdam. Can be very crowded but it really suits the spacious place. Their beach is the best in the summer with a great view over the IJ river.
- Erin WeigelMay 15, 2016Really wonderful place to grab a drink and enjoy the view of het Ij. One of my favorite places in Amsterdam! Also a great place to take friends visiting from other countries.
- Alvaro P.January 23, 2017Great spot for any season! Don't wait to be seated and just grab a spot when free. Great cozy vibe inside (winter) and outside (summer). An Amsterdam must!
- Chris OgbuApril 8, 2014Getting the leather sofa on the left side of the glass walls allows you to stretch out with a good view of the waterway and boats while njoy ing the warmth of the open fire.
- LuckyJanuary 31, 2017Perfect place for drinks & food while chilling in the sun, letting the evening settle slowly down! Get a cushion seat on the outside benches! 8/10
- Alex GibsonMay 14, 2016Great views while sitting on one of Amsterdam's urban beaches. Beautiful in summer but busy. Well worth taking the ferry across from Centraal Station.
- Adrián MorenoJune 11, 2015Great views, enjoy the "mini beach" they have after taking the ferry (now departing a little bit more to the north of Centraal Station, in a temporary dock)
- Emily AgroMay 27, 2017Delicious food with an interesting atmosphere! Its a trendy spot with great music! It is built out of shipping containers - a must see in NDSM Shipyards!
- Ralph vdPJune 23, 2018It takes you a (free) ferry ride across the ‘het Ij’ but then you’ve found the #1 chill and lounge spot in Amsterdam. Put your feet in the sand, along the water and listen to live music or dj’s.
- Ferdy van BerkelAugust 23, 2018A trendy IJ riverside bar with its own urban beach. A great place with delicious food and a vibrant atmosphere during the summer months. Use the GVB Ferry to get there (it's free).
- Ameen AqeelSeptember 12, 2016Went straight on my must-visit spots when in Amsterdam, great place to unwind, have a drink or bite, and just enjoy your time.
- Peter LindbergApril 8, 2015Great place to hang out for a couple of hours. Had a few local beers on offer. Very friendly staff. Would have tried the smoked mackerel sandwich if we hadn’t already eaten.
- Önder CeylanJuly 27, 2016You can easily spend your day/evening here with enjoying amazing view and chilling at this city beach. Do follow their "film with a view" program for open air film screenings.
- María de la PuenteMay 30, 2017With a beach and nice views, it is a nice place to have a good dinner and stay dancing after that. Book in advance for a table, it might be full.

- WuMarch 13, 2016Great open space with a wall of windows opening onto the water. Lots of light. A fireplace kept us toasty in March. Very nice place for laid back, sunny lunch/daytime drinks.
- Werner SchmitzOctober 18, 2015I really was surprised to see the inside and the waterfront side. Great view to the Amsterdam "skyline". Enjoy the food and a drink at this really not ordinary place.
- DavidSeptember 4, 2017Good food and vibe, and excellent location for a sunny day, but I still can't think of having a cozy time there during cold, windy days...
- Johnny KoutiolasOctober 14, 2018It's great to come here on a summer night, sit around the fire and enjoy drinks and snacks. The inside is also very big and it looks nice.
- Britta MoeldersOctober 16, 2019Amazing view, chill atmosphere plus free water. Chai latte was not too sweet. Cool place to hang out for a few hours!
- John QuistOctober 9, 2015I can be easy: visit this spot once the weather is nice, and enjoy a beer / wine or some dishes. They don't serve blankets which makes a after summer night a bit coldly
- Despina StagakiJune 9, 2014alternative place with quality and great atmosphere. not possible to book in a sunny day. best place i visited lately in amsterdam. watch out the ferry timetable at night

- Magally ArizaJune 14, 2023Don't forget to take a picnic-cloth, in case you you can't find a table/chairs available. The place is fantastic to enjoy live-music with family and friends.
- Great environment at the Harbour. The pub is made from containers. Very unique place with a great view @ the IJ. Must see in Amsterdam.
