Dorien van LingeJune 22, 2016Brecht is a tiny but cozy cafe with a Berlin-feel, where they serve an excellent selection of German beers. Tip: get here early, because it can get quite crowded. Great for dates!
Small bar with a great atmosphere. Wine was around 3.50 a glass and they labelled all of their bar snacks in the menu with allergen information so you know exactly what you're getting
- Ariana VoyerSeptember 22, 2018Skip the Kiwi beer (awful) and go for the Federweisser if available! Lots of board games, vintage lounge seating, and drink menu options to choose from. Cool spot!
- My living room in De Pijp. Be sure to order a large Weihenstephaner or a negroni and beat your date with Scrabble!
Vangelis KoukidisNovember 1, 2016A piece of Germany in Amsterdam! Lady owner comes from Munich and she brought a piece of Berlin feeling with her when she made this place. Amazing beers, great German snacks, and cozy atmosphere. Win!
Antoine RogezMarch 25, 2015Great and authentic atmosphere + nice tea offering. Can even borrow some good old board games for a short return to childhood :). Not so much space though so gets full quite fast.
LuckyJanuary 31, 2017Nice drinking spot for dates, friends & after work! Gets crowded, so try to get in early! 7.5/10
Love the interior! Comfortable seats, great choice of drinks.
It's cozy , nice selection of beers , the music is nice and it's perfect after you visit the museums to chill .
BarChickAugust 21, 2013Daytime drinking gets quirky in this retro front room bar. There are mismatched tables and chairs, lots of lamps and comfy couches. http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/amsterdam/caf-brecht- Rob NesbitDecember 17, 2015Liked it a lot and if I ever return to the Dam will definitely will return. A good place for a nice beer. Read more
This is so lovely.. Berlin interior anno 1950.. Nice service, living room feel. I enjoyed a German and sour beer..
Thetis TFebruary 7, 2017One of the cosiest bars in the city! Great range of German beers and friendly atmosphere! Good for dates as well!
Gonzalo Martínez CrosaOctober 5, 2018Awsome place, an interesting Berlin atmosphere in the heart of Amsterdam.
MelforssFebruary 24, 2015Very crowded on weekends so get there early. A relaxed bar where to go and hang out with friends or with a good book
Pinar S.January 30, 2020Glühwein was good. Such a cozy and Berlin vibe in the heart of Amsterdam. A good pitstop just for a drink before museum rush. Limited choice for snack
Ji&V GuptaMarch 25, 2016I love German pretzels! Have one here with Gouda and Ham. Delish. Iced tea is a little too sweet.
Aysen ÇağlıJanuary 13, 2018Atmosphere is quiet good and you can find various kind of german beers as well. 🍻
- Naomi BruwerDecember 24, 2014Amazing Berlin style bar. Popular amongst locals. Well worth the visit. One of my favourite bars in Amsterdam.
Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013Just about the nearest I've ever gotten to pretending I'm in the Amsterdam of 100 years ago. Try the Tannenzäpfle Pils if you like Heineken but want to change it up.
Try the smokey sausage beer, you'll not like it but for once you drank something else than Heineken
Nice, hip beer place. With snacks and good food too. Draws a cool crowd after office hours.
Natalia ValdesAugust 31, 2019Very cozy, good variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks with good prices, will come back!!
KAugust 15, 2017Cozy bar, busy but not too loud that you can't have a conversation. Really chilled with lots of drinks.- Khanh LyJanuary 9, 2017Chilled laid back bar to hangout. It's a bit tight inside, but that's the charm of it.
Katerina KerrOctober 29, 2015lovely and cosy place. gets quite busy so sometimes you have to perch on the piano stool.
Antonis AMarch 29, 2019Cozy place with vintage furniture, nice music and warm people for morning coffee
Very hip Berlin-style wohnzimmer bar with a rotating selection of slightly obscure german beers.
It can be really crowded, but the atmosphere is nice. During the week it's more relaxed. Food is not bad either!
Giorgos KathoOctober 25, 2014Great atmosphere, great place to grab some beers with friends, fast service and good beers.- Giorgos KathoNovember 28, 2014Big variety of beers. Must try the smoked black beer. 0.5Lt of a really awesome beer.
Paige CotéMarch 2, 2015Super cozy and they have great German beers and snacks. Definitely worth a stop.
Marcel van HooijdonkDecember 13, 2017Nice place, verry nice staff and people over there. Good food and drinks i like it!
- Stefanie LadanghMarch 18, 2016Cosy place with loads of beers. Old couches make it look very vintage.
Amsterdam MagazineFebruary 2, 2011A very cosy Berlin style bar. Order a Berliner pilsner and grab one of the many half made scarves thrown about for a knit & drink evening.

Brecht is een Berlijns woonkamercafe. Dat betekent schemerlampen, oude fauteuils en theekopjes van oma. Geen hip gedoe maar tijdloze romantiek. De gehele dag serveren wij piadina's, taart en lekkere hapjes.
