Dapper

I just saw the reviews about service and had to comment. I’m not going to sit here and say it was the BEST I’ve ever had in my life, but it was absolutely fine. Plus, the vibe and atmosphere would have made up for it if the service WAS bad. As a tourist in the city, I noticed that locals are a bit tired of tourists (understandably, I live in LA). But the two waiters we had (both locals) warmed up to us quickly and gave great recommendations on beer. Side note: tell people what you like and you’ll get good service.
I gave them 4 stars because of food (get pumpkin soup), atmosphere was hip with nice lighting and exposed kitchen (not too loud) and friendly service (they told me their Spotify playlist so I could follow it).
PLUS, very affordable for what you get.
Only con: Their beer could and should be filled higher to the rim of the glass. Both of our servers poured a large head of foam, though, so I’m guessing thats what management is telling them?

Inattentive and amateur service, mediocre food at most.
Waiters are chitchatting in almost empty restaurant and won’t pay you any attention unless you somehow manage to get it. When it comes to serving, they bring food on wooden boards dripping oil that will most certainly end up on your clothes if its up to the waiter.
Do not recommend the place.

Very cute place. Lots of outdoor seating and the food was good. Not spectacular but good. I had the grilled vegetable and cottage cheese sandwich for lunch and my friend had the granola, fruit and yogurt. The service was very slow though, so if you’re not on a tight schedule this is a good place to go.

Great place, nice atmosphere and good food. Service could be improved, though, we had to wait quite a while before any of the staff acknowledged our existence.

Good place, small plates for a quick good and healthy meal, or even just for a drink. Nice terrace outside, very comfy on this inside!

The burger was ok when it finally arrived and they have an amazing selection of juices and soft drinks but well they are almost as slow as Hesp which is saying something.. They said they didn’t expect the Sunday to be so busy so they only had one chef… don’t wait at your table to pay your bill just head inside otherwise you will be there all day… The spot is amazing right on a canal but their service is so slow it’s painful.

Yes, I’ve wandered back into the Dapper establishment… And I’m glad to have done so. Dapper seems to have made some recent changes. It looks like there’s a new head chef and the menu, as a result, has improved. Service, while not perfect, was much better.

Could be a nice neighbourhood spot with outside space but service is questionable. You have to arrive at least 30min before closing time otherwise you may not get served — Alex especially likes to get home on time.

I’ve been there twice for lunch and was impressed each time. Great food & convenient location in West. Would recommend if you’re in the area.

Meh. Unfriendly waiter took my order. The food came around pretty quickly, sadly it was the wrong order. The girl serving the food was very friendly and she returned after a few minutes with the correct order. I was slightly disappointed the grilled vegetables were served with a large slab of sour cream on top, which was not announced on the menu. Veggie burger was ok.

Loving it :D Coming here in the afternoons to work from their terrace.
The very friendly and efficient server comes around a lot. It was a bit distracting at first actually, but I asked if it’d be ok to work from the (barely occupied) terrace without ordering much and she said no worries, she just wanted to give me attention.
Loving their terrace and drink prices are friendly, too ;) There are tables under the awning and by the canal, under some trees.

We stopped at Dapper twice for drinks during our brief 3-​day stay in Amsterdam. Both times were on our way back to our apartment as a refuge for the rain and both times we enjoyed ourselves. We mostly just sampled the house beers, took advantage of free wi-​fi and enjoyed the warm atmosphere. Service was nice and we had fun doodling in the guestbooks on each table. A nice place to stop in for a drink with an inviting and comfortable atmosphere.

Awesome new bar in Amsterdam. Great beers, great food and great staff. Bart, the manager is amazing.

Girlfriend and I came here on a Tuesday night and they were moderately busy. Sat at the bar and ordered some drinks right away. With 11 taps (I think) and probably a couple dozen bottles, ranging from American IPAs to classic Belgians, their beer selection is quite good. Was told we had to order food from a front of the house person, which was no big deal, as that’s pretty standard. Got our burgers and fries before I could finish my second drink (kinda slammed the first 25cl of their house Dapper lager). We both thought the food was quite good, especially the veggie burger. Chatted with a couple of the bar tenders over the course of our meal, who were quit friendly, and one of them even came over to shake my hand and wish us a good night when he clocked out.
Not sure what was up when the other reviewer came here a little while back but they seem to have it together now. I’d go back for sure.

Incredibly bad service: asked the waitress if she could return in 5 after I checked the menu, she didn’t. Then after playing ‘attract another waitress’ for about 10mins we finally ordered a drink & food. The drink took 30mins to arrive and the food 45+.
The food was ok but the fries were laughable at 1 cm in length… Basically. We got the dregs.
Another 25mins-​for-​a-​beer later we gave up took our bill inside personally (didn’t want to wait any longer for the clueless waitresses), paid & left.
I couldn’t really say why it was so bad. But it’s gotten steadily worse each time I’ve been. Shame.

Just in case I forgot, thanks for the 3 teas tonight :) I wish I could chat with the bartender more but we were pressed for time, nice guy though… I stopped by for some tea at the end of the night 3 days in a row but they have good beer selection. Place was located near our hotel which was convenient. Every night the crowd was different but the place was cozy and busy even on a Sunday night…

Awesome new bar with partially the same owner as the bar it was before.
Good choice of beers, IPA’s, locals and even their own Dapper beer. Served for the brave. I had the burger which was só tasty I went back the next day to have one more. Oops. All in all a great place to chill out, when sunny an awesome and huge terrace and great staff.

When Kade 58 closed down it only took around a month until Dapper re-​opened. On the one hand that’s great, because they have a big terrace next to the canal and it would be a shame not to use it once it’s a proper spring. On the other hand there is still construction work going on that brings some limitations.
When I arrived at 13.30 and wanted to see the lunch menu I got to hear that the kitchen will need some more 15 minutes until they’re ready. That was fine with me because I arrived late but I wouldn’t have wanted to be one of the early guests waiting for lunch for two hours.
The guys on the table next to me ordered shortly before me. We had to wait about half an hour and then I got my dish before them. Horeca no-​go.
I tried the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and it was really good but unfortunately only lukewarm.
Dapper is still in the warm-​up phase so consider that when you come here. However, the service is nice and quite quick serving the drinks. I’ll certainly come back and rate anew as soon as the processes are well-​rehearsed.
