Amsterdam Centrum Craft Beer Bar & Event Space
A historic 1748 building turned cozy hub for locals, expats, and in-the-know travelers.
We serve craft beers and host weekly events such as live music, comedy nights, pub quizes, and have something for everyone unless they’re an asshole.
Welcome to Cafe de Knoop
In a city where cafes are bars, coffeeshops aren’t for coffee, and nothing means what it sounds like, Cafe de Knoop is exactly what it claims to be: A community-driven watering hole run by artists, for artists (and also for anyone who needs a pint and a seat).
Tucked inside a beautiful, historic 1748 building, Cafe de Knoop is the lovechild of Cafe de Spuyt and Those Dam Boat Guys. We serve local craft beers, classic cocktails, and regularly host live music, comedy, pub quizzes, art exhibitions, and community events.
You’ll find us in the heart of Amsterdam Centrum, right between the Red Light District and the Jordaan - surrounded by the best cafes, food, weed, art, and people-watching opportunities in town.
A favorite hub for locals, expats, and travelers who might not know where they’re going, but the cool ones somehow find their way to our door.

Think you’re smarter than your friends?
Prove it at our Monthly Pub Quiz! Free entry, just reserve your spot to play. Bring your team of up to 5 people or come solo and we’ll match you up! Expect tricky questions, fun prizes, and just enough booze to make you argue passionately about answers you’re definitely wrong about.
Every First Tuesday at 20:00
Like watching people risk their dignity for a laugh? Or maybe you want to be that foolish soul risking humiliation for a shot at comedic glory?
Every week, newbies and comedy veterans take the stage to test their best (and worst) material. Some jokes will kill, some will die a painful death, but that’s half the fun! Expect punchlines, experiments, and the kind of chaos only live comedy can deliver.
Every Wednesday at 20:00
Whether you’re a legend or just learned three chords, this jam’s for you.
Our weekly jam is where musicians, misfits, and musical over-sharers plug in, tune up, and let loose. Whether you're a seasoned pro or someone who just wants to see what happens when you bring a melodica to a public setting, the stage is open, the crowd is kind, and the beer helps.
Every Thursday at 20:00
Reserved for the most sacred ritual of all: drinking. Craft beers, inventive cocktails, and a vibe that turns strangers into friends (or at least drinking buddies). Come to sip, clink, and revel in the weekend chaos, because some communion requires no sermon, just a good pour and even better company.
Every Friday & Saturday
Hungover on a Sunday? Studies show the best cure isn’t coffee: it’s music…and maybe another drink. Chill, sway, and let live tunes ease your brain fog while you sip your way back to feeling human. Sunday’s never sounded so good.
