The 12 best bars and drinks in De Cocksdorp

we had an early dinner. the place is wel situated but you better go by car. it has a big parking but it is paid. the staff are great. food is served pretty fast and drink selection is nice. i had a nice time. i recommend this place 100%

Kaap Noord has vegan options, but not much. The oesterzwam kroketjes on brown bread were a classic good lunch. Perfect for a group with people with a mixed diet. Staff is friendly and the view is great ;)

We have been regular guests at this restaurant for many years. We have always been warmly welcomed with our dogs. We have always found the restaurant to be particularly dog-friendly. Since this year, only one dog per adult is allowed. Apparently, this is due to space constraints (it has never been crowded, and the number of tables hasn't changed either). It's a shame that the restaurant is becoming increasingly unfriendly to dogs (and their owners)… :-( Next days we‘re warmly welcome with our 3 dogs in the outside area. So I switched 2 stars into 4 ;-)

With the beautiful view from the terrace and good food it's a brilliant place to have a summer dinner.

Very nicely located beach Restaurant, quite big. Large terras and also a good amount of tables inside. Windslielded and even some place with rain cover for the occasional shower. We enjoyed the vega snach platter and nachos. Great to see that there is a choice for vegetarians and even a few vegan options. Coffee was good to

We went here twice and were both times happy with our visit. First night we had to wait for an hour to get inside because of the long line of people. We tried 2 types of fish and both tasted fresh and great. Next day we went for lunch (luckily no waiting this time). We tried two types of toasts which were both fantastic. My favorite being the smoked salmon. Staff is very nice and friendly even though they were quite busy with serving all the crowd. Tip: in high season make a reservation if you don’t like to wait.

Texelburger was the best burger of my life. What was that sauce/salsa/chutney? It was delicious.

I recently visited this restaurant on Texel Island in the Netherlands for dinner on a Friday night. Having made a reservation in advance, we were pleased to find our table already prepared upon arrival. The reception we received was warm and welcoming, setting a positive tone for the evening. As we settled in, we were promptly served with two beers and handed menus in English, which was greatly appreciated. The initial bar area had a lively ambiance with a wide selection of tap beers available. At the far end of the bar, there was a charming lighthouse that served as the restaurant area, adding a unique touch to the setting. For our meal, we opted for the marinated and smoked mix of spare ribs and the lamb stew. The spare ribs were decent but fell short of the exceptional quality praised by other reviewers. I would personally rate them at 3 stars. On the other hand, the lamb stew was enjoyable, with tender meat and pleasing flavors, deserving of 4 stars. To conclude our dining experience, we indulged in a delightful strawberry cheesecake for dessert, which I would easily give a well-deserved 5-star rating. Overall, the gastronomic experience at this restaurant was average. While the food didn't surpass expectations, the exceptional service provided by the staff and the pleasant vibe of the place elevated the overall experience.

My personal highlight during my stay on Texel. Dark ambient, amazing food, super friendly, young and quick staff, and overall a great time. As you can see in the pictures, food was plenty and the spare ribs rank really high among my favourites ever. But it was the tomato soup that really won my heart. The staff seems to be very happy to chat and get along with their costumers which was really nice to see. If I ever return to Texel, this will be the place to eat!

Great, warm atmosphere in this place, very good selection of beers and the man behind the bar was friendly and suggested some good beers too! Too bad we got there too late for the kitchen to still be open, but we enjoyed the time spent there. No reason not to go!

Friendly staff, big menu with different beers, tasty dishes! Totally recommend this place!

A Tavern style restaurant in a shopping area (you have to know it :-)) in Den Burg Texel which gives you the homey feeling on the spot. The service is excellent very friendly and passionate to give you a great evening. We had the cheese fondue this time with some surprising dips ideas. Make sure you reserve a table on time, a lot of locals know their existence!

Food was good, but simply just not excellent. I took both ribs (smoked/bbq) a bit on the dry side. And the sauces were a bit standard. My partner took the fish (I think halibut) same a bit dryish missing a sauce altogether. Very good degrated/boning. Service was exquisite, amicable and friendly also attentive. The front of the house is very atmospheric and well thought out or lived. The rear part feels a bit like an after thought and has very disappointing and below mediocre cheap Hollywood movie themed art. I’m not asking for Texel themed art, there is enough of that. Just better thought out and skilled art. I’m thinking it’s a temporary gallery type thing so hopefully next time something new and interesting?

Absolutely amazing! Super friendly service and they had almost all the menu gluten free, with a dedicated allergen menu. Also gluten free beer 😄😄😄

We came for New Year's Eve with the meal. Good meal for the price, friendly service. Not many people at the beginning but then the atmosphere was great with a good DJ. BIG disappointment with regard to a service: the toilets! To charge 0.50€ to go there, really? When we've been there since 7 pm, we've paid for a meal, drinks? With two not very friendly women who stand guard in front of each door (men / women) like bodyguards, really? I thought it was a joke at first but seeing how the toilet guard answered me I understood that it wasn't. So we stopped drinking.

It was a bit loud because of another event in the restaurant but the food was extra ordinary, especially the burata. Mor the bartender youre the man!

We had a wonderful evening in the bar. I‘ve never had such an attentive waitress as Sherley in my life and the ambience was exclusive.

A positive suprise! I tried sea foods and they were tasty. Cherry on the cake was the dessert display. The decor was really modern. For a restaurant being in the notorius party tourist area, this was a quality place. Easy location and suitable for big groups.

I recently visited a restaurant with my family, we celebrate a birthday and I must say, it was an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the staff was exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure our dining experience was enjoyable, especially with our children. The staff was very attentive and accommodating to our needs. They even took the time to engage with our children and make them feel welcome. It was so refreshing to see a restaurant that not only caters to adults but also to families with young children. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the service was top-notch. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations for us to try. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding, and the staff's attention to detail and care for our children made it even more special. We will definitely be returning soon!

Asocial behaviour to ask for 50 cents at a party where you already pay 25 euros for a ticket

Lovely place, nice atmosphere. Although will be nice having more vegan options, but what they made for me was really yummy 😋 I went with colleagues in a dinner company, so I don’t have idea of prices and menu.

I’ve been here a few times, and it never disappoints. The atmosphere is always vibrant and welcoming to everyone, with excellent service from the charming staff. The vibe is hip yet relaxed — I just stopped in for a coffee and an incredibly tasty chicken sandwich. A real hidden gem right next to Oosterpark.

Fantastic brunch earlier today. The service was really good, very attentive. Smashed Acocado + several cappuccino’s (which actually were perfection ☕️)

O stumbled upon this place because it was in the neighborhood where I was staying. I wanted a quick breakfast and it was a very pleasant surprise. I got a green shake with kale, apple, and a banana, with lots of pulp. Very refreshing! For the main course, I had a coconut yogurt and a fresh fruit bowl. It was the perfect amount , very fresh, and flavorful. Very fast service. I'm very pleased and would definitely come back to see what they have in store for dinner.

Great place to grab a drink and some snacks! The outdoor area is perfect for bigger groups—we had around 12–14 people and it worked out great. Even though it was busy, the service was solid and everything ran smoothly.

Very nice place, right by the street with outside seats which is very nice and you can have a very nice drink and people watch. We got the nachos which were really nice. The drinks were also good

Good bar. A wide selection of drinks, ordered the Negroni which was nice. The bar is located next to a busy street so the outside area can be a bit loud sometimes, better sit inside.

A local watering hole with great beer selections and creative cocktails. Friendly service. Gets busy but there is more space inside and upstairs than you can see from outside

A very cozy German bar that servers good beer and bites. It's a very rustic interior with random artwork and funky arrangement. It is my type of bar environment to chill and have a drink or two. The service is good and the staff are very friendly.

Amazing place with wonderful ambience. Great pricing too. Cozy

My 5 Stars on the food are related to the excellent selection of German beers. I never dreamt of ever finding a Bamberger Schlenkerla Rauchbier in The Netherlands or a Köstritzer! I am at home.

We were so excited to try this place for the first time but it was such a letdown. After waiting a while at the bar with no service, one of the staff spilled coffee all over my friend and our jackets. We were very understanding — accidents happen — but there was no apology or even an offer of a napkin, which would’ve gone a long way. Instead, she just wiped the table and walked off. We ended up leaving without ever being served. Really disappointing experience :(

What a fun, cozy bar! Like an old living room. Great draft beer selection at the time, which was Oktoberfest themed. Young, friendly folk working the bar. A young crowd overall but a great mix of people enjoying a lovely Sunday evening In Amsterdam.

Service was great and the drinks were fantastic. Prices were good. Rather tight layout and loud when busy, but a cozy place anyhow

Very cozy place to enjoy a German beer. The inside is really quiet and comfortable, a really nice style. Beers are somewhat particular, which is nice since you can differ from the usual Dutch beers you can find in every pub/bar. Prices are on average, especially if you consider the central location it has, 5 minutes from the Rijksmuseum and even less from beautiful area of De Pijp. It is definitely recommended if you want to try something different. Thank you for the experience!

My favourite beer 🤩 the brewery is lovely both the inside and outdoor sunny spot! Beer tasting recommended

We visited the brewery on a Thursday during the summer holidays. We didn't book tickets in advance, which meant we still had get our tickets onlinr and waited little over an hour for the tour. It was well worth the wait, our guide was very knowledgeable about the brewery, its history and the process of brewing beers and they told all about it passionately. The tour is about 40 minutes long and you get 3 beers to taste during the tour, so keep that in mind. Well worth a visit, but be sure to get tickets in advance!

I expected to find a crowded place since I chose to visit on a Saturday afternoon, but I was disappointed with the service provided. There are two areas (indoor and outdoor), and when we tried to place our order at the indoor counter where we were seated, the attendant asked us to go to the outdoor counter. When we got to the outdoor counter, we ordered the beers, but when we tried to order some snacks, the second attendant informed us that they weren't taking any orders from the kitchen because there was a large group at a table that needed to be served (?) In the end, we stayed there for less than 30 minutes and then returned to the city center, where you can find quieter places to eat and order Texel beer, which is very good, by the way. I hope this was just an exception and not the usual service offered. In summary, there are positive aspects to visiting the place, especially if you are a beer enthusiast looking to experience it straight from the "source."

Just ask for the tasting menu and pick any combination. Great price and quality. Shop has some interesting items too.

A bit on the outskirts of the city but easy to get to via bicycle. On a late Saturday afternoon it was quite busy but we were able to find a spot outside on the end of one of the benches. I think inside was only reserved for tours and food, not sure but we were just told to go outside. Anyways we did the 3 different flights of beer. Started off with the 1st one (Zeebries Blond, Vuurbaak and Tuunwal Tripel) and the 2nd one (Skiller Wit, Springtij and Noorderwiend). We also tried the 3rd flight which was Geheim Proeverij (Zonnig, Stout and Passie). Out of all the beers we tried, I really enjoyed the Skiller Wit and Vuurbaak. Then I got one large glass of Goudkoppe. This ended up being my favorite beer. Beer was solid, nice place to relax and enjoy the sunshine. The shop was really nice as well, had lots of things to purchase.

The famous "Texel Brewery" is located on my favorite island, Texel. The beer is also available outside of this island. A fine and tasty beer. Visiting the brewery is still on my to-do list.

Excellent chance to taste their various beers of which there are many. Just don't show up late. Last orders 17.30.

Lovely dinner. Great service. And loved that there were a few vegan options. Best salad on the island by far.

Very nice delicious spot. Fresh bread available. We have ordered eggs, tosti and limonade. Big portions, served very quick even in rush hour. People really doing their best managing amount of tourists. I would only suggest adding less oil in food, it is really heavy to digest:)

If you’re looking for coffee to perfection with amazing pastries and a happy atmosphere, this is the place! This kase croissant (cheese croissant) was the best I’ve had in the World! Not exaggerating! The picture looks tasty but a picture cannot tell a thousand words to describe this croissant, you’ll need to taste it! Very friendly waitress!

Nice vibe, super friendly staff. Not a wide menu, but we both had a delicious lunch and pastry. Mole Eggs doesn't sound like much - delicious and original bowl with a variety of tastes and textures. Plenty of fresh pastries and cakes. Coffee is superb!

THE BEST sourdough experience in NL. Being a sourdough baker myself, I am super happy to find here. The pastries are also nice. Only that something went wrong with the preparation of milk for coffee but I guess they were busy.

This is amazing bakery! Amazing bread, focaccia and croissants. We took a pork BBQ focaccia and it was so juicy and delicious be careful as biting it the juices going to flow all owed your hands). The kings day specialty croissants and cardamom brioche buns were finger liking delicious 🧡

We went here there times during our holiday. First time lunch and drinks, second time lunch, drinks and dessert. All the food is really good with vegetarian and vegan options. The staff are really friendly and helpful too. We need to go back to try the other menu items!

A distillery situated in the Flevo park. They have a variety of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. It’s had a lot of seating, some by the water and a lot secluded closer to the park. The place is perfect to admire the park and enjoy the peaceful scenery and listen to the bird singing. Definitely go to try liqueurs they make on site.

Absolutely lovely place to get drunk :) The serve great craft beer and huge variety of liquors with any flavour you can imagine (banana liquor, peppermint liquor, ..). Also plum genever. Atmosphere is awesome, especially in the summer: just pure nature. I can recommend the place, but be careful with drinking too much and mixing liquors with beer.

Perfect place to have a beer in Oost. I recommend to try their apple and blackberry jenevers.

This brewery is located in a beautiful Flevo park. The brewery facing a small pond which is beautiful. It’s mostly pretty quiet and more popular to local people in the area. They don’t have lots of food menu but has some snack menu. Lots of seats outdoor. Their homey walnut cake is so tasty.

Extremely patient and knowledgeable bartender. He answered all of our questions and made lots of great recommendations. Very relaxed atmosphere. There was a super well behaved dog sitting on a chair at one table, and people bringing dice games here. We'd come here regularly if we lived near by.

Cozy place in a beautiful location with yummy black currant liquor. The people working there were very nice to introduce the distillery to me and let me take some pics of the distillery room.

An hidden gem in Amsterdam. Cool distillery located in a park, close to a lake and in a beautiful building. Great to pass by and have a couple of beers. Only opens between 3 and 6pm so be mindful on when you plan to visit.

Very good Asian restaurant with juicy yakitori, tasty gyoza and ver friendly service!

Regarding Restaurant Bistro Texels Goud, the minimum order costs of 25 euros are above my intended budget for 1 person, the delivery costs of 3.50 euros can be called acceptable. "Sushi" and "Poke Bowl" (cold dishes) are somewhere at the bottom of my favorites list. I also find the calculation of "service Fee" nonsense. Considering the ratings, I take the average.

Great restaurant, high quality food options.

(Translated by Google) During our holiday on Texel we ate here. It is a small restaurant with friendly staff. I really enjoyed my meal! You can order different dishes, both sushi and small Asian dishes. I thought the sushi was super tasty! Everything is freshly prepared. We ordered 2 dishes per round. This allows you to dine a bit longer. You pay about 15,- per dish. I think that with three dishes per person you have enough. If you order more, it will of course be more expensive. I can definitely recommend this restaurant. (Original) Tijdens onze vakantie op Texel hebben wij hier gegeten. Het is een klein restaurantje met vriendelijk personeel. Ik heb echt super lekker gegeten! Je kan verschillende gerechten bestellen zowel sushi als kleine aziatische gerechten. Ik vond de sushi mega lekker! Alles wordt vers bereidt. Wij hebben per ronde 2 gerechtjes besteld. Hierdoor kan je wat langer tafelen. Je bent ongeveer 15,- per gerechtje kwijt. Ik denk dat je met drie gerechten p.p. wel genoeg hebt. Mocht je meer bestellen ben je uiteraard duurder uit. Ik kan dit restaurant zeker aanraden.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic sushi and tasty snacks! Good, friendly service! Had a nice wine with it. In a beautiful place centrally in Den Burg. Recommended! We enjoyed it. It is not very big, so it is advisable to make a reservation (Original) Fantastische sushi en lekkere hapjes! Goede, vriendelijke bediening! Lekkere wijn erbij gedronken. Op een mooie plek centraal in Den Burg. Aanrader! We hebben genoten. Is niet heel groot, dus het is wel aan te raden om te reserveren

(Translated by Google) As lovers of Asian cuisine and especially when it comes to Sushi, we were slightly shocked at the first bite... fresher and tastier than at Texels goud seems impossible. Fantastic food, top service and friendly staff. Really recommended!! (Original) Als liefhebbers van Azatische keukens en met name als het gaat om Sushi, waren we bij het eerste hapje lichtelijk geshockeerd... verser en lekkerder dan bij Texels goud lijkt onmogelijk. Fantastisch eten, top service en hartelijk personeel. Echt een aanrader!!

(Translated by Google) We had a delicious meal here, with super fresh sushi. Thank you for your hospitality. (Original) Wij hebben hier heerlijk gegeten van super verse sushi. Bedankt voor jullie gastvrijheid

Good food, price is okay. Nice indoor or outdoor seating. A bit busy when we were there but the staff are nice and attentive. If you're wondering how to get there from Amsterdam Central Station, there's a free ferry that goes back and forth at the back of the station.

I enjoyed the beautiful summer view and the pleasant breeze. However, the samosa didn’t quite meet my expectations, possibly because I’m used to Indian samosas. Despite this, the atmosphere was great and enjoyable, with an amazing view.

Pllek is one of the most unique spots in Amsterdam, a perfect blend of laid-back charm, quality food, and stunning views. Located right by the water, it offers an incredible panorama of the city skyline, making it a favorite for both locals and visitors. The food quality never disappoints. The service is consistently outstanding , friendly, attentive, and relaxed, adding to the overall great vibe. It's ideal for both families and groups of friends.

A grungy spot in NDSM Amsterdam, with an industrial look made from old containers, plus a sandy riverside beach with picnic tables, sun loungers, and quirky DIY-style furniture. The vibe is creative but a bit messy, and overall it didn’t give me the comfort or relaxation I’d expect for enjoying a coffee, a beer and chat with friends. Honestly, a bit overrated. The friendliness of the staff is definitely the main strength of this place.

Pllek is one of the most unique spots in Amsterdam. The location on the NDSM wharf is stunning — you can sit on the man-made beach, watch the water, and soak up the laid-back vibe. The atmosphere is creative and relaxed, with a great mix of locals, families, and travelers. The menu leans mostly vegetarian/vegan and feels fresh and light. Some dishes are absolutely delicious, others a bit underwhelming, and the portions can be on the smaller side. Prices are on the higher end, but you’re really paying for the view and vibe. Service was friendly but a little slow when busy. Still, this is a perfect place to spend an afternoon in the sun or enjoy drinks in the evening. Worth the ferry ride over as long as you're doing other things like the STRAAT Museum!

If you’re looking for a unique and fun place to dine, this spot is perfect! The food was great, and the atmosphere was really nice — an ideal place for a Friday lunch.

Superb spot! Great location with cool vibes. Perfect for sundowners. Book if you want a table but there’s also plenty of outside seating which is first come first served.

Old style cafe. Very nice interiors. Feels old. Came in around midday on a Sunday and it was quiet and had the feel of a local bar. The beer was in excellent condition and the bitterballen tasty really good with it. Staff was very helpful and efficient.

My favourite bar in Amsterdam. Best bitterballen and fries in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Great beer and wine and on a lovely quiet street. Defo make the trip.

Very small and quaint bar, didn't have a chance to try the food but the staff and patrons were very friendly. Recommended stopping by after visiting the area's museums. The bartender did mention that it gets pretty busy on Thursday and Friday evenings.

Went here for King’s Day - so might not be very accurate the rest of the year, lol - they know how to throw a good party! Great music, samba and brazilian funk, and great sandwiches too. We had a blast! Thank for for organizing a King’s Day with good music and amazing vibes.

Chips were highly recommended to me as the best chips they have ever had. Good chips, but did not live up to expectation

Nice bar with good atmosphere and service, very old school interior. Not the largest selection of beer but a very nice café

Perfect place to sit in the sun and enjoy a Dutch beer. Or 2. Maybe 3. Friendly bartender and servers. A happy place!
