In the middle of the Vondelpark this place is not only a terrace for summer days. Het Blauwe Theehuis also serves a pretty good lunch and dinner, and, at night it can get quite funky in here. Look at their facebook page for the party agenda.

It's clear that there are many reasons to visit Pacific Park. Good food, cosy terrace, (live) music, big parties and the place itself is also quite worth a visit.

Door 74

Door 74 is not just a cocktail bar, it's a bar that you can't actually see from the outside. You'll need to get your name on their list by giving them a call and to receive the address. To give you a hint: it has something to do with the number 74. Once inside, you can enjoy the wonderful (and surprising) cocktails! Definitely worth the effort.

Depending on the night and event you can listen to (heavy) punk rock, but also acoustic music and sometimes there are even DJ's playing vinyl. Soundgarden has a couple of house bands that play regularly. There is a big room for smokers and some pool tables to makes this the ideal hang out.

Visit Plantage Doklaan if you want to have an intelligent conversation with one of the regular visitors or maybe the Dokkers themselves. About the artwork on the wall. About the Liberal Arts that are going on. About the history of Amsterdam. Or maybe about the great food that they will make you for just €5,-.

Het Ketelhuis

If you think you got our language at the end or your visit, this is the final test. Try to understand a Dutch movie and see how well you do. Just joking, but the cinema is definitely worth a visit. Unlike most cinemas in town, Ketelhuis is quite new. It opened its doors in 1999 and you can see that in the playful interior.

Het Badhuis

Built in 1942, Het Badhuis was one of the last public baths to be constructed in Amsterdam. In the 1970s, it quickly became a popular meeting spot for locals. Recently it reopened as a restaurant. You can still see evidence of showers by looking closely behind the bar. Examine the old fixtures such as the black and white tiles on the bottom floor.

Vondelbunker

The venue is a must-see location totally unique in Amsterdam! The venue is placed inside an atomic bomb shelter, that already began to host the youth culture since 1968, to be the center stage of numerous counterculture activities and historic squat riots ever since. The venue is run by a group of volunteers aware of the legacy they hold high.

OT301 organizes parties that last until the morning. On Tuesdays, take your table tennis gear and participate in the famous table tennis night. Upstairs there is a cinema where they show movies from all around the world, sometimes in combination with a typical dinner from the country of origin. Just hanging out here is also highly recommendable.

In a few words, The Waterhole can be best described as 'Pool tables & live music. But that doesn't mean an easy evening: Dancing guaranteed. You will always meet some eccentric and outgoing people here. Every day between 12:00 - 21:00 The Waterhole has 'Happy Hour'. And again: Every night live music. That is a promise.

We could recommend many of the brown bars of Amsterdam, they are a must see, but De Doffer is one of the few that seems to succeed combining history and present. Visit De Doffer to get in touch with any type of local you can imagine.

The Bar Botanique is directly next to the Muiderpoort train station, a main commuter hub 1 stop from Centraal station. Locals are therefore tempeted each time they walk home on a Friday night to stop by, especially if they see a friendly face sitting on the terrace outside!

If you want to go budget drinking on weekdays, this is a good place to go. From Wednesday on it can get really crowded in De Gieter. It is a thin but long bar, so you have to love your neighbor. But despite the crowd, there's still a lot of dancing going on.
