Why Bar Baggerbeest belongs on your Amsterdam bucket list

On the outskirts of Amsterdam, Zeeburgereiland is a delightful spot. You're still in the city, but you can feel the fresh breeze from the IJ in your hair. And even though you're not far from Amsterdam Central Station, you feel like you're in a different world. Over a century ago, the silt from the harbor area formed a new piece of land, where this breeding ground is now located.

A place to come together

Baggerbeest will become the creative hub of Zeeburgereiland and the surrounding islands. Baggerbeest will be an artistic hub, with creative, educational, and cultural programming. There will also be a stage for (children's) theater, spoken word, and other performances.

Part of the menu is already known – you can even order all their homemade pizzas. From Margherita to Diavola and La Piccante – local residents are already flocking to Baggerbeest. Besides fresh pizzas, Baggerbeest will be serving more than just Italian delicacies once it opens. They're already hinting that New Amsterdam (street) food awaits their guests, as well as organic wines, ethically sourced coffee, local beer, and Italian granita. We hope to snag a spot on their enormous terrace as soon as possible – count us in!
