Join knowledgeable Amsterdammers and curious visitors to try Dutch gin or gloriously sticky liqueurs at thisproeflokaal -cum-restaurant. Charm a local by asking for a translation of some of the odder liqueur names (most are unprintable) (see De Admiraal).
-
A large, modern, comfortable gay bar that’s great for reading a newspaper in the day or meeting up for drinks pre-clubbing. Unusual feature: the circular back bar revolves when it gets busy.

Dating from 1890, this cool three-star hotel on the east side of town was originally a Roman Catholic orphanage, and later an asylum. On Fridays and Saturdays the madness continues, when some of Amsterdam’s top DJs spin at Tonight, the hotel’s adjacent two-floor “church-club”. A bit of a trek if you’re staying centrally, but worth the effort.

This small lounge bar, with its guest DJs, is just the place to get into the mood for a long night out on the town.

This establishment is not your average hole in the wall. It may be tiny, but Bar Bep is ultra hip with a cool interior and equally cool regulars. Enjoy the spicy Asian snacks and the music played by famous DJs (see Bar Bep).

Those in the know flock here for the tastiest Thai in town. Eat in their spacious restaurant or duck out to their snackbar opposite for a more informal, utterly authentic experience.

An absolute treasure in the heart of the Red Light District, this Mediterranean restaurant should be savoured for hours.

This apparent pub is not really your ordinary pub. Only homebrewn beers are tapped here or sold in bottles. The furniture consists of bare wooden seats and tables next to a simple bar in this former municipal bathhouse. Already legendary among beerophiles, this microbrewery with local cult following only started out in 1985. Indulge in a range of fantastic beers served from friday to sunday. There's even a windmill right next to the brewery for aaaaall you tourist shnappers.
