One of my favourite bars in Amsterdam! Super chilled. There is cheap drinks; an arcade & pinball machine as well as a foosball & pool table. Large capacity and a fantastic back-terrace with a view.

Small but cozy punk bar. The drinks are respectively cheap and the atmosphere is always good. Includes a big terrace, pool table and pinball machines. Helpful and friendly staff.

They have a delicious berry jenever which is good if you don't normally like jenever. Pay with pin and they need to take out an additional €20 (which you get back in cash).

Hidden gem in Amsterdam. Especially for rockstars and rasta’s. Great terrace with canal view and plenty of sun in the afternoon

Great place to have some beers and shots. Feels like a backpackers pub. Rock and roll music all over the place.

Great bar! Lots of choice of drinks. Also, pinball, pool, and table football are a plus. And outside seating by the canal.

Dive bar: good bottle list, cheap drinks, cool music. Great terrace during the day (at night, just a balcony).

This place has some of the cheapest drinks in town, and the crowd is chatty and outgoing. The best spot to kick back is outside on the terrace. Read more

Punk/metal crowd that can be slightly more aggressive than the crowd at The Minds. Awesome patio in the summertime.

Come here with good weather and enjoy your Weihenstephaner (German beer) in the terrace facing the view to the canal.
