Drinks & Nightlife

A brewery in a windmill in Amsterdam Oost. They close pretty early (20:00) so you should be there on time! You could get their beers in nearly every cafe in Amsterdam but the scenery is lovely, so go there!

If you love plants, you love this place! They serve food and drinks all day. I normally go there either for coffee or at night for a G&T.

This is the cutest place in town! It's a distillery in the middle of the park. From Tuesday till Sunday they serve lovely home made jenevers and some beers from Croatia. They are open from 15:00-20:00. It's a very romantic place!

Free tunes on a Friday or Saturday night! I don't go out dancing that often, but if I do I go here. It's free and laid-back. It's an industrial place where you can swim in summer. I know this combination sounds weird, just check out their facebook website.

Food Scene

Simple but delicious Italian pastas. The prices are reasonable. For a pasta and a glass of wine you pay around 18 euros. I visit this place twice a month, at least!!

Entertainment & Activities

Best cinema in town. It's a slightly unorganised cinema where you can enjoy the movie while you sit on big couches. There is also a lovely terrace on the waterfront, oh and they serve really good food!

If you rented a bike, you should visit durgerdam, Ransdorp and Schellingwoude. Often after work, if I need some ME time, I cycle through the meadows and become happy instantly.

Shopping

Great shop for women. I go there once in a while and always want to buy everything. But it isn't cheap so you could also buy just one cool dress or skirt....
