Café de Laurierboom

Café de Laurierboom
Brown café in the Jordaan where the regulars will know your name by your third visit. It's the kind of bar where the bartender pours you a genever without asking because you look like you need one. Open late and never empty.

Café De Spuyt

Café De Spuyt
Belgian beer bar near Leidseplein open until the small hours. The tap list runs deep and the bartender will guide you through it if you look lost. The crowd thins after 2am and that's when it gets good.

Café Weber

Café Weber
Starts as a cocktail bar and becomes a dancefloor around midnight. The transition is seamless — one moment you're sipping a negroni and the next you're dancing. The DJ is always good and the crowd skews local.

Coco's Outback

Coco's Outback
Twenty-six screens on Rembrandtplein. Rowdy, central, always rammed for the big games — get there early.

De Kat in de Wijngaert

De Kat in de Wijngaert
Brown cafe, Lindengracht. Hasn't changed in decades, doesn't plan to. Owner knows everyone. Beer is cheap. Bar cat does what it wants. No music, no kitchen. No reason to leave.

Gollem's Proeflokaal

Gollem's Proeflokaal
Craft beer tasting room with over 200 bottles and a rotating tap list that reads like a dissertation. The Overtoom location is the most relaxed of the Gollem family. The bartenders actually know what they're pouring.

North Sea Jazz Club

North Sea Jazz Club
Three screens, a terrace, air-con and pizza — the civilised Oranje watch for when you're bringing the family.

Oranjehaven

Oranjehaven
The Brazil HQ — Brazilian BBQ, a six-metre screen, a DJ, all on a boat in Noord. Loud, sweaty, exactly right.

Q-Factory

Q-Factory
Six hundred people, one enormous screen. The closest you'll get to actually being in the stadium.

Soundgarden

Soundgarden
The playlist is the point. Grunge, punk, surf rock, whatever the bartender feels like. Cheap beer, no pretension, regulars who know every song. Not trying to be anything other than a bar that plays good music loud.
Westbar
The Waterhole

The Waterhole
Live music bar near Leidseplein where bands play until 4am. The quality ranges from transcendent to trainwreck but the energy is always high. Cheap beer, loud bands, and a crowd that's still going when everything else has stopped.
