Craig_ Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 There's a huge sports bar on the Leidseplein, with about 25 TVs showing different games, so you should be okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the game, I'd recommend a trip to "The Blue Dolphin" or "The Rokery" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Kidd Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 The Globe Bar in the RLD will have it on Kislas. As you come out of Centraal Station head for the RLD and it is over the first bridge and to your left hand side. I watched Stampy score a memorable winner in there at Easter Road. A few English lads who had been calling us Jocks all day got the fright of their lives when it went in as about 20 lads started going chicken oriental. Good day. Good quality coffee shop just over the bridge as well call the Greenhouse Effect. Coffee was ace. If you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truejambo81 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I have been to the dam 8 times in the last 6 years and by far and away the best bar for live football is Teasers on Damrak. Or the Grasshopper. Thats the only places I go when I'm there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Reekin' Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks! Any more tips on Amsterdam? Check this out: http://www.xs4all.nl/~patto1ro/pubs.htm Some very good recommendations for the more traditional and "conventional" (i.e. "non-smoking", no dancing-girls!) pubs in the city. Been to quite a few on his list - had been to quite a few of them before I knew of the excistence of this guide - and they've all been good. Utrechtsraat is a good street for bars and restaurants, etc., but again they're all pretty "respectable" so it all depends what you're looking for!

The Grasshopper is universally despised by the member cafes of the coffeshop bund. With all due respect to Truejambo81, but you really have to go and explore!

Boris Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Thanks! What about the prices. What's the average for i.e. beer or dinner? Beer = 4-5 Euro a pint, depends where you go really. Dinner = again, depends where you go. If you are splashing out, there is a lovely Italian called Casa David, just along from the flower Market (Herengracht?) It's really good, food is brilliant, but it seemed expensive when i was there in April, compared to being there before, although that could be a pound/euro rate exchange thing...

Maybe a bit less for a "pint" / half litre (3-4 euros?) away from the station / Damrak inner city centre. If you want value for money, avoid the obvious tourist places and go to the ordinary pubs where the locals drink. The Ron Pattison guide should give some good suggestions for reasonably-priced drinking. As Boris says - and like anywhere else, I think - the cost of eating out will depend on where you go. If you are looking for fairly low prices, the best places are the various types of Eetcafes: these often serve food from both Surinaams, in the Dutch East Indies, and Indonesia. Both cuisines are quite hot and spicy, but this depends on what sauces you put on them! A really good and cheap one is the Warung Spang Makandra (! ) which is in a small square at the junction of Ferdinand Bolstraat and Albert Cuypstraat in the 'Oud Zuid' district. They don't serve alcohol there, but the food is great and quite cheap (7 euros or under for a main course). Otherwise, of course, there are sandwich shops and bakeries where you can buy food quite cheaply. It's a great city - enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 there is a lovely Italian called Casa David, just along from the flower Market (Herengracht?) It's called Casa di David (to be pedantic). Walk down the Leidseplein and hang a left at the canal at the bottom. It's the dog's dangly bits - wood fired pizza oven etc.... Also give Rose's Cantina a try if you're into Mexican food and top notch margaritas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
