Beers & Barrels - Utrecht Centrum

This is such a perfect canal-watching place - the draught beer selection is excellent and if you’re hungry, the platters of food are awesome. Keep in mind: the “plate for 2” could easily be shared between 3 people! It’s a lot of food. But really delicious. We ate here two nights in a row. Also to get a decent table we highly recommend coming before 6pm, it fills up quick on a sunny day!

We had a great experience at Beers & Barrels in Utrecht, right next to the canals. The interior design really nice, creating a very enjoyable atmosphere. We tried the brisket burger and the brisket steak — both were delicious! The staff were attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. While the price/quality could be slightly improved, the overall experience was good. A great spot for a tasty meal in a beautiful setting!

Visited Beers & Barrels in Utrecht and had a good experience overall. The service was generally good, and we appreciated having proper seating available. The atmosphere was lovely — cozy, vibrant, and perfect for an evening out. They offer a great variety of beers, which made it easy to find something for everyone’s taste. One small note: the girl behind the bar seemed a bit tired and wasn’t the most service-minded, but it didn’t take away too much from the overall positive experience. Would definitely visit again!

We got the ribeye steak which was only ok, rather under seasoned and very thin. We've definitely done better at home on the grill. The salad we ordered was delicious but very different ingredients to what was on the menu so double check if you have allergies. The view of the canal was incredible though, right next to the water and very cool interior, being built into a cellar like space under the main buildings/street. The service was incredibly slow, even though we were there around 5, well before the main dinner crowd. Not sure if it's just the normal European pacing or if we were supposed to go inside to pay or what? It was a long time between them clearing all of our dishes and drinks away and being able to flag someone down to get the bill. You're mostly paying for the atmosphere and the view at this restaurant, the food is ok, not terrible but not amazing. Service very slow.

Good vibes, good places to hang out with friends/colleagues. Food is okay-ish, but the ambience makes up for it.
