Top 10 Bars
-
1. De Admiraal
One of the smarterproeflokaalen (tasting houses) in the city – and unlike the rest, it closes late. Collapse on the couches and knock back the potent liquors andjenever .
-
2. The Bar With No Name
Known to the locals as Wolvenstraat, this 1970s-style lounge bar-restaurant is the haunt of young advertising darlings and other affluent beings. Open from breakfast to bedtime, it serves imaginative sandwiches, soup and pan-Asian cuisine.
-
3. De Pels
A low-key, easygoing neighbourhood bar – locals read the papers at the big table by the window. A great place to recover from a hangover on a Sunday (breakfast is served until 1:30pm).
-
4. Het Land van Walem
One of the city’s original designer bars, this was the creation of renowned Dutch architect, Gerrit Rietveld. Inside, it’s bright and minimalist; outside, there are charming terraces.
-
5. Lux
Split-level, late-opening designer bar. DJs spin every night.
-
6. Het Molenpad
A charming brown bar between the city’s main library and the Leidsestraat – equally suitable for bookworms and the shopped-out.
-
7. Morlang
Modern, minimalist space next door to Land van Walem. Impressive menu.
-
8. Saarein II
Once an infamous women-only bar, now men are welcome. Quiet during the week, rowdy at weekends. Pool table, good bar food.
-
9. Van Puffelen
The rich and beautiful flock to this elegant haunt – the biggest brown bar in town.
-
10. De Zotte
This Belgian bar (appropriately named “Drunken Fool”) has a huge range of beers. Delicious food helps soak it all up.
