Bierbrouwerij 't IJ Funenkade 7 (622 83 25). Tasting house on the premises of beer brewery 't IJ, which is housed in an old windmill. The small and independent IJ brews about ten beers, all of which are on tap in this somewhat noisy and smoky 'Proeflokaal' . A favourite among locals, 't IJ is always crowded, especially on sunny days when it's a pleasure to sit outside. You can tour the brewery each Friday at 4pm. Open Wed-Sun 3pm-8pm.  [10 reviews, avg 9/10]       Blarney Stone Nieuwendijk 29 (623 38 30). Lively Irish bar in the city centre.
