De Gooyer

Highlights

• Lively brewery and taproom
• Striking historic windmill exterior
• Easily accessible from city center

De Gooyer, Amsterdam’s tallest wooden windmill and a national monument, charms visitors with its striking exterior and unique ambiance due to the microbrewery and taproom beneath it. Recent reviewers consistently praise the **excellent atmosphere, great local beers, and tasty Dutch snacks**, with many appreciating the convenient tram access and lively setting, especially during spring and summer. However, some visitors express disappointment that **the windmill’s interior is not open for tours** and that its blades rarely turn. It’s often described as a great quick stop, especially for those not venturing beyond the city to see other windmills.
