Top 10 Bars
-
1. April
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.
-
2. Chocolate Bar
This trendy lounge barrestaurant is a relatively new adddition to the Pijp area.
-
3. De Duivel
Cypress Hill and The Roots have joined the boisterous baggy brigade at Amsterdam’s small but legendary hip hop bar. These days, the hip hop is melted down with anything from funk to disco.
-
4. De Huyschkaemer
A corner-located, split-level designer bar popular with a young arty crowd. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
-
5. Helden
Knock back the cocktails while a DJ spins chillout music and upbeat house at this lounge bar-cumrestaurant serving international cuisine.
-
6. Kingfisher
With its modern take on the brown bar style, this large bar is one of the best watering-holes in the Pijp. Imaginative world cuisine.
-
7. Lellebel
Amsterdam’s infamous – and only – dragshow bar, the complete antithesis of the testosterone-fuelled Rembrandtplein nearby. At first glance it’s unremarkable, but when Shirley Bassey is turned up on the soundsystem, the bar staff perform quite some routine.
-
8. Mulligans
If you’re tired of the Rembrandtplein, pop round the corner to this authentic Irish bar for some goodcraic .
-
9. Onder de Ooievaar
More of a wintertime bar, “Under the Stork” is warm, wooden and spacious.
-
10. Soho
The “English pub formula” worked so well that Soho has become the biggest pint-and punterpuller on Amsterdam’s trendy gay street.
