Honestly, It looks like Brouwers Gracht to me.

Don't think so - the only bit with a kink in is where it meets Herengracht, and there is an open square on the immediate right, no buildings.

I agree, although the dark building in the background looks like one of the warehouses on Brouwersgracht.

There aren't many places where a canal takes such a sharp turn as this, (with 2 bridges and fairly similarly sized trees) - I think it is somewhere around the 7/8 o'clock position on the main canal Ring.
