Brouwerij Troost de Pijp

You should not consider how the place looks… When I got in it reminded me a bit of and old school building. I understood that they have another new place in Amsterdam also which looks a lot nicer.
Apart from the looks, the beers that I tried here I liked a lot. Did not try them all (yet), but given the fact I liked the ones I did try, pretty sure I will come back to this place :)

Recently had some quick food with a colleague here; he’d come by here more often and told me they had some awesome burgers and beers. That combination of food and beverages always draws my attention, so I was looking forward to coming here. As I already mentioned in my tip, you have to be a bit early or make a reservation to make sure they have a table for you; it can get pretty crowded.
Troost looks like a large café turned brewery /​restaurant, full with locals just coming out of work to enjoy some nice food and drinks together. The service was very punctual and pleasant; the only thing that was a bit tough; where do you leave your jacket? Especially if the place gets fuller in the evening, it gets harder to find a good spot for it.
On to the food! They have an excellent selection of foods, and a whole submenu with all different kinds of burgers. They also have a weekly special and a very nicely done burger for vegetarians as well. It’s hard to recommend just one. So I’ll say try and go for their weekly special! From a beer perspective, I went with a nice Weizen and it did not disappoint! They have about 10 beers to choose from.
As this place offers great atmosphere, good food and even better beers, surely visit Troost so you have a better idea of where ‘Amsterdammers’ go.

And we are back to burgers!
I have on purpose sampled all popular burger places in the Pijp.
Troost has outdone them all!!! The meat has some amazing mix of herbs and its quality screams taste!
For the first time there, I suggest you choose between two: Classic or Troost burger!
For the second visit let your mind get blown by the veggie burger!!! Yeah yeah… It’s not meat but trust me — the taste will seduce you!
And for the third visit (oh yes… You gonna come more!) Go for the week special, this will nail your taste buds to Troost forever!:)
Oh but did I mention it’s a brewery with their own beers… No? Then don’t get me started on that subject! The beers they have go 100% perfect with the burgers they make!!!
If you are reading this — GO!!! DO NOT HESITATE!

First of all, I hate the heat. HATE it. And it was hot when we went to Brouwerij Troost, which may have affected my experience a bit (I know it’s not fair — it wasn’t their fault). But alas, I thought it was just ok.
My husband and I both ordered the veggie burger with fries and some beer. The beer was very good. The veggie burger sounded amazing but it just didn’t blow me away. It was fine. Would I try it again? Probably not. It was definitely very over-​priced. I would definitely return for the beer though. And maybe all the meat is good so if you’re into that… you might like your experience more.
The restaurant itself was pretty busy — all the outdoor seats were taken when we arrived (don’t forget — it was HOT that day). By the time we left (at about 7:30pm), all the tables were full. And the service was very good.

Some (if not the) best burgers in town and home-​brewed beer /​what more can you ask for?

My hubby and I sat at the bar at Brouwerij Troost. Many of the tables were reserved around 7pm and later, so if you want to eat around then, make a reservation. We were there around 5pm and it was filling very quickly. It seems to be a great place to go after work. We both loved the Tripel, which is a new addition to their list in 2015. We ordered a few apps like Flammkuchen, with spinach and feta. Delicious!

The atmosphere of this brewery and restaurant is fantastic. We went here for some beers and also tried the flammkuchen. Everything was absolutely delicious. I know that if we lived in Amsterdam we would be regulars here.

Nice staff, very juicy burger and good beers. Rather unremarkable place otherwise. If I lived in the neighborhood, I’d be a regular. But the other breweries I visited were more interesting places to hang out.

Super Burger, Mein Buffalo Burger war super.
Das Fleisch und die restlichen Zutaten Top. Pommes waren auch gut.
Das selbst gebraute Bier und vor allem das Weizen sind ebenfalls sehr zu Empfehlen.

Great place on a Wednesday eve! It was quite busy, but there were enough tables available. We had the Classic burger with thick, crispy bacon, and tasty meat, straight from the farm in Baambrugge near Amsterdam, and the Troostburger, with blue cheese on top of the burger and with ciabatta bread. If you just want a normal, great burger take the classic one, really delicious. If you like blue cheese and olives, then the Troostburger is an excellent choice. And the fries that go with it… just perfect, crispy pieces combined with fat ones, just the way I like it. And the mayonaise… so tasty I needed more. Moreover: nice and friendly waiters, and a no nonsense, noisy enough atmosphere, for example for low profile, first dates, but also for a group of colleagues to enjoy. Go check it out!

I was there with a large group and we had beers and burgers. My «classic» burger was great, as well as the fries. Service was very good: friendly staff and our burgers were all served at the same time! The weizen beer was very good too, but the IPA I wouldn’t recommend. Extremely bitter. And I’m a beer drinker, it is not that I’m not used to beer. This is a nice area in Amsterdam, so the crowd is cool and mainly Dutch, no tourists. As someone commented, there are some tall tables and chairs. There are other types of sitting, but we were on the tall ones. The chairs were extremely small and uncomfortable. Just don’t sit there. It would also be nice if there were more tables outside. Overall a nice place and I will come back with friends!

Beer, burgers and a nice restaurant to hang out staffed by some very nice people now that’s a winning combination. The restaurant has all these hard surfaces making it loud when there’s a full house. The tables, at least where I sat, were the tall raised ones with the high stools. I’m not so much of a fan of that design being a short person. The burger I had was just okay. I did like the blonde beer I had. I also liked that the staff did a great job serving the very large group I was with. I don’t know if they do take away but I do know they’re dog friendly. I’d go back if in the area or invited to return.

Me and my mister went to Troost for a Unilocal Burger event. This is a pin-​only restaurant!
We sampled the Classic and Troostburger, plus the Blonde, Witte and IPA beers.
The burgers were served on sesame bun and ciabatta; the latter a trending fad in Amsterdam. The Classic was swimming in Picalilly sauce (what IS that?) and the Troostburger was pretty good (super sloppy).
If we go back, I think we’d stick to the Blonde, and sit out in the sun. Great location, friendly staff, but mehh burgers.
