DAVO Bieren Stadsbrouwerij en Proeflokaal

Good atmosphere. Family friendly. Mostly own brew but also other beers. Fine place to eat some. (11-2017).

Fooddock Festival. So beers are OK, plenty. Food limited choice but was nice. Had a good time and some 10 beers taste. Good festival.

We visited here Thursday 27th September 2018. It had been the most wonderfuI autumnal day and we'd had a lovely cycle ride alongside the river from our campsite near Diepenveen just north of Deventer to Zutphen and back. The DAVO taproom was our last stop of the day and what a great way to end a smashing day. DAVO taproom is to the south of the town it is close to the IJssel and Rijjkstraatweg and bridge that cross the river. It is on the corner of Emmastraat and Sluisstraat, technically the address is classed as the latter. It's a large imposing looking building, I'm not good on my architectural styles but it reminds me a little of the Hoover building in London so I'm guessing it's Art Deco style.

Inside it's spacious, and predominantly open plan, there are a couple of small rooms off of the main space, such as a little shop area near the front on the left as you enter, it has bottles and some merchandise, but even these are completely visible. I forgot to mention that to the best of my knowledge it's step free access. The look of this place is quite industrial, it was a little dark but perhaps that was exaggerated by the fact that it was so bright outside. The bar is ahead but slightly to the left, there is a fair amount of seating in here but as I have already mentioned it's a nice day and so pretty much everyone apart from folks ordering are sat outside. We sat outside, there were quite a few tables, the long sharing types. There were a few work parties having a good time, in fact it was a very friendly and welcoming vibe, we really enjoyed it and stayed for a couple of beers.

I think that there were about 10-12 taps and as I recall most if not all were their own beers. I had a DAVO Lost Boys Imperial Red Ale, a Fender Bender and the IPA, all were fine without being amazing. But it was the vibe we liked, I would definitely return here, the food looked good but we had a meal back at Frank.

Whoa! Impressive building. Super crowded on friday evening, didn’t expect this to be so big. Must’ve been around 150 / 200 folks in there. Interesting mixed crowd with age variation from 20-something up to 60-something sharing tables. Indoor swimmingpool chatty sound is pretty intense here after walking 14 minutes through practically a ghosttown. Student personnal at the bar super laidback and easy, yet very prompt and assertive. 12 Taps with only a few guest beers, mostly Davo. Beer quality is ok, certainly not impressive. Seems catered to the average crowd with a blonde, dubbel, tripel and bock headlining on the tap menu. There’s also an IPA and an Imperial Stout there but I didn’t get those in my tasting plank. Food is pretty basic, we left for dinner elsewhere after some bitterballen. I was impressed with how crowded this place was and would have stayed for more ticks if I wasn’t on a schedule to also catch a concert at the Burgerweeshuis. Recommended.

Large venue, crowded to the max when i visited. Noise levels where nonetheless acceptable, was a cozy crowded feeling, service was friendly, prices ok, beer selection is ok.

Very spacious and hip industrial looking venue just beyond the edge of the beautiful city centre. Diverse selection of DAVO beers, some guest taps and a very decent bottle list of international craft. The DAVO beers themselves may be a bit hit and miss, but I do see (taste) sings of improvement. The IPA and Imperial Stout for example are quite enjoyable. Friendly personnel, eager to chat and provide info on their house beers. For the food menu they rely on a joint venture with a local Mexican restaurant, who have provided a chef who works at the brewpub. I had a great Mexican hotdog. Though the beers can be a bit mediocre, I had a really great time at this brewpub, it’s exemplary.

Industrial looking place, just south of the centre. Selection of their own beers, some good guest draft and a nice selection of craft bottles. Good prices and nice food. Friendly people. The Netherlands need more places like this.

zo zouden meer drinkgelegenheden in de buurt moeten zijn ;zien van eigen gemaakte producten en keus voor andere,genoeg ruimte alleen de prijs normaal voor de omgeving maar te duur voor de meesten
