A large maze of rooms leading to the spacious beer hall. You'll find apparel stores for both the team and for Heineken. A few free internet stations are also available.
The food is generic and not too exciting. The beer is good but a bit pricey for such a small glass ($4.50). Also, before making any purchases you first need to buy a paycard ($5 deposit required, then it must be loaded with money).
Not many tables for dining, but plenty of bleachers and floor space for spreading out to watch the many large screens broadcasting the olympic games (in Dutch). -

54000 square feet of Heineken goodness!!! This is THE place to be to have fun!
There's 2 line ups to this venue, one with accreditation, one without. Basically if you're not Dutch, you have to line up in the one without. When we arrived, they told us they were at maximum capacity so they had closed the line up, and told us to go back at 6:30pm. We went back at 6:00pm, and there was already a line up to join the actual line up!!
Upon entry, there's a airport style security. Then there's coat check for $1 per item.
Inside, there's booths where you can check your health, including your heart rate, lung capacity, and even some simulation bobsled games. A Heineken House store, as well as the Dutch team's merchandise for sale.
The Main Hall is where all it's at. This holds about 4000 people, complete with bars, food service, and many screens along with a stage, and 3 large screens around the stage. Food includes burgers, fries with mayo (which were suprisingly good), 'shaker' salads, and hotpotches. We had a kale potato hotpotch with sausage. It was interesting.
Onto the best part: the draft Heineken. These cost $4.50 for a cup of 250mL. Before you head up to the bar, go to these stations called "Cashpoint Stations", in which you load a paycard up with money, and then you use that to purchase your drinks and food. A smart idea, because there's no need to fumble for change.
Other features of the Holland Heineken House include a Lodge Restaurant-I believe you get an exclusive seating area, but there's a fee for this.
There's some tables and bench seating available, as well as bleacher style seating. Minors aren't allowed in after 8pm, so that's when the party really starts.
There's nightly live entertainment and a DJ to go till 2am every night!!
I had a really awesome time here and I'll for sure be back!! -

To say that you are closed to non Deutsch without any explanation is unacceptable. Why do you bother to have a website when everything is in Deutsch and there is no information about schedules or what to expect? Are we supposed to learn the language overnight?
