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 quizzes, and have something for everyone unless they’re an asshole.
Cocktails & Craft Beer
Behind the bar you'll find expertly mixed cocktails, rotating craft beers, and bartenders who know the difference between a proper Old Fashioned and an old-fashioned way to ruin one.
Whether you're here before a comedy show, staying on after a canal cruise with our co-parent company Those Dam Boat Guys, or just dropping in because canals are pretty, but they don't serve cocktails, we'll make sure your glass is always full.
Culture & Events
Knoop is home to live comedy, local and touring musicians, community events, and the occasional idea that sounded much better after a couple of beers. Whether you're here to discover your new favorite band or laugh at someone else's terrible life choices, there's always something worth sticking around for.
Venue & Celebrations
Birthday? Work retreat? Wedding proposal? Divorce party? Host your event at Café de Knoop so you don’t have to clean your house!
Knoop is available for private hires, public events, celebrations, launches, and just about any gathering that benefits from a fully stocked bar and a room full of good people. Bring your own idea, or let us help you make it happen, we're surprisingly good at both.
Agenda
Officially ranked the #1 comedy show on the Prinsenstraat on Wednesdays at 20:00! Come check out legends and newbies test new material, sharpen old material, and discover new jokes on the spot!
Bring a date to impress them. Bring a friend to roast them. Bring an enemy to heal nothing!
