Tolbar

De Pijp's hidden music venue

A unique gathering space for locals and visitors alike, Tolbar is more than just a music venue. This hybrid café, bar, and cultural hub sits inside the charming Lokaal de Tol building, a space rich with local history and creativity. It's a perfect spot for easygoing evenings and casual gatherings, or discovering local music talent.

Tolbar's laidback atmosphere invites you to linger, with its warm wooden interiors and cosy living-room feel. The menu is simple and unpretentious, featuring comfort foods that focus on quality ingredients, like the signature Tolbar burger or the summer salad with grilled courgette and Parmesan cheese. In true Amsterdam fashion, vegetarian and vegan options also abound.
