7 . The Best Bars and Cafes in Amsterdam
Hoppe
A reproduction Old Master on the wall, fine sand on the wooden floor, barrels (桶) behind the bar—Hoppe is every inch a traditional “brown cafe”. Hoppe has been going strong since 1670—the right-hand part, the “Standing Room”, is the oldest. Hoppe becomes unbearably packed with after-work drinkers in suits in the early evening, which is unsuitable for relaxation.

De Jaren
White walls, light woods, high ceilings and minimalist design combine with huge windows overlooking the Amstel River. De Jaren is a long-standing networking venue for those who are working on the media. It’s also great for resting on a rainy afternoon, in a basket chair or at the long reading table. There’s a good range of sandwiches and salads, as well as affordable fuller meals, throughout the day.

Canal Belt
Still going strong since the heady 1970s, when it was at the heart of European counterculture, the “Milky Way” is a cutting-edge music and performance venue, and hosts wild weekend club nights. The original old dairy building has been expanded with flash new extensions to include a cinema, art gallery and cafe, hosting everything from Dutch pop via rock and hip hop to contemporary dance. Booking ahead is recommended for some events—there may be a pre-booking surcharge.

Cafe Van Zuylen
It’s a down-to-earth “brown cafe”. One room, especially in the evenings, is cheerfully noisy, and crowded shoulder-to-shoulder. In good weather, tables and basket chairs are spread out on a huge balcony, which stretches across a bridge over the Singel Canal—an ideal spot to bathe in the sun for a while.
