If you have money to blow, this is a great place to blow it on Italian vintage designer pieces. I say Armani, you say ... Prada!

Probably the cosiest place in town! Warm 'Berlin style' wallpapered living room build around a half circle bar. They host poetry, bingo & acoustic evenings in the front room, and great film, concerts and dress up parties in the hidden mezzanine back room.

Just a fantastic spot on the edge of the city. Its connection of the Amsterdam-Rijn Canal to the IJ, Amsterdam’s big open water, that was once part of the North Sea, but now dammed in by the Dutch. Sometimes it’s just a relief to leave the prettiness and the cuteness of the Amsterdam canals behind and experience some space. Few people come out here and in summertime it’s just a delightful spot to have a picnic and watch the boats come in.

Located in the industrial area of the north resides this asian infused restaurant / bar. They offer a refined sharing menu, with a fine selection of natural wines and sakes. Accompanied by sweet tunes blasting out of their Japan inspired sound system. lights by nikki hock photo by Samira Kafala

A tiny record shop that has all the character you'd want.  They also sell produce out front which gives it even more character.
