Beer and gastropub food at Helst

There are never enough affordable places with good food. And when you can also choose from countless beers, we’re intrigued.

At Helst, located—as the name suggests—in Eerste van der Helststraat in Amsterdam’s De Pijp, beer flies at you from all directions. With a daily changing carousel of 30 beers on tap, more than 45 bottled beers and several beertails, a thirst-quenching glass is always within reach.

Bartenders
A fun detail: you can check the selection at any time via the screens behind the bar and the Untappd app. Whether you’re a beer lover looking for that special brew or a social drinker who wants to try a great new glass. The experienced bartenders will help you make the best choice. There are also plenty of gluten-free and alcohol-free bottled beers available, as well as jenever. Bring on that beer-and-spirit chaser.

Sticky ribs
Of course, there has to be food too. The menu features gastropub food, with plenty of attention paid to beer. Mussels in beer batter, for example, or sticky spare ribs. No problem if you want a matching glass with every dish; the bartenders will choose those for you too.
