    Eating and Drinking: Mad hatters and chips
  • Tip Rating:
  • Just round the corner from our hotel we found De Saloon Bar. A very small, wedge-shaped pub frequented mostly by locals watching the footy (Juventus vs Feyenoord). Here it seems beer and chips are the order of the day - but the friendly chef/barman will be happy to oblige with whatever ingredients he happens to have - he makes a great bowl of vegetable noodles - as long as you remember compliment him on his hat making skills :)) Oh and the cheese and pineapple toasties aren't bad either.

    Anything.

  • The Hard Rock Cafe - great music (not live) great food/drink and fun, friendly staff. A great place to start your evening. A couple of drinks and a pudding came to about 17E.

    Eating and Drinking: 350 kinds of beer
  • Tip Rating:
  • Yes, 350 different kinds of beer; and what's more amazing is that they are all Dutch beers!
    What's so special? you might ask, since there are hundreds of German and Belgian beers known worldwide for their quality?
    Exactly! The beers that you find at 't Arendsnest are rare, and if you like beer as much as I do you will enjoy the novelty.

    Their own-brewed Amber Ale (Herengracht 90) is a must!

    Dress casually, people bring their pet dogs here :)

    Eating and Drinking: Lots of choices
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Leidseplein area is packed with great restaurants and British style pubs, most serving the typical Heineken, Grolsch or Amstel brews. But if you can, find a brown cafe, which is a Dutch beer hall where you can sample some more creative brews.

    My favorite area to wander at night was Spui, where you'll find great bars and restaurants to hang out.

    Eating and Drinking: To the former dockyards: Panama
  • Tip Rating:
  • Housed in a former Port Authority building slightly out of the city center, Panama consists of a restaurant and a hip nightclub/theater at night. The restaurant itself is roomy, with large windows, high ceilings and subdued stylish decoration.

    Eating and Drinking: The Leidseplein
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Leidseplein is the focul point of the Amsterdam vibrant nightlife This square is virtually surrounded by bars of all kinds. Each with bar or pub seems to have a patio make the Leidesplein is wonderful place to people watch. More importantly you can then observe the score of street entertainers that seem to congregate here. Many of these huskers are quite talented and its lots of fun watch. Nearby in the off shoot streets from the square, there are numerous restaurants were you can eat before you go for a bar hop around the square itself.

    Eating and Drinking: Black cats, car fumes and floating parties
  • Tip Rating:
  • Not too far south of Dam Square, off a side road is the Cafee t'Gasthuys. It overlooks one of Amsterdams canals and is a pleasant place to sit for a few beers, or some food.

    The crowd were almost all Dutch, with a one table of English visitors when we were there (and us Welsh, of course). The bar serves hot food and snacks till around 10pm. There are at least too very friendly black cats that live inside the pub!

    It was an interesting place to sit outside and people-watch, or observe the many night boats that passed along the canal. Some were luxury craft, candle-lit with wealthy passengers drinking wine. Others were loud, pumping music into the night, filled with young revellers having fun.

    Watch out for the occasional passing car or motorbike - the lane is narrow and if you are sitting near the road you will get a mouth full of petrol fumes!!

    Eating and Drinking: In de Wildeman
  • Tip Rating:
  • In de Wildeman certainly justifies its label as a bierproeflokal (beer tasting house) with its choice of 200 bottled beers and another 18 or so on tap.

    The staff are very knowledgeable so if you are not sure which of the 200 plus varieties to try they can offer help.

    It’s a popular place – not only because of the beer but the atmosphere, which is relaxed and amiable as any good pub/bar should be! – so getting a seat may be tricky but if you enjoy a good glass of beer in a convivial atmosphere I would certainly recommend visiting.

    There is also a non-smoking room in the back.

    It is worth visiting their informative website (www.indewildeman.nl) to find out about sepcial events, featured beers etc..

    Open: Mon-Thurs. 12pm-1am
    Fri and Sat : 12pm-2am
    Closed on Sunday

    Eating and Drinking: Café Cuba
  • Tip Rating:
  • Although you might find it a bit overdone and fake, there's no denying that Café Cuba has done a great deal to evoke the sultry spirit of Hemingway's Havana. The music is lively, as is the crowd. It's all very friendly and the mojito's are reasonably priced. Alcohol in general is quite cheap here, which is a great plus!

    It's popular with the late-twenty and thirtysomething working crowd, so you get the picture.
