Drinks

Nice for a drink, ice cream and sometimes there’s a market
Especially with nice weather or even in the evenings Westerpark, location of brewery is a great place and only a 15 walk from the loft.

Very old Amsterdam pub, oozing atmosphere of days gone by. It’s a small pub, a few tables inside and weather permitting a terrace on one of my favorite canals.

This is called cafe de Pels, Huidenstraat 25, in the 9 streets not too far away. A lovely old Dutch bar great for lunch, snacks or a drink. Cafe the Minds is a punk rock bar! don't know why it keeps popping up when I type this in.

Distillery, tasting room and pub from 1679. In the heart of the centrum just off Dam square you will find this amazing old pub. You can sample some of there brews and purchase a bottle or two! Otherwise just an experience to visit.

Why not stop off for lunch at a unique place. Very colorful and different. Love the fact that it’s hidden away in a little alley called Gebed zonder end (prayer without end). This is in a different part of town, so if you find yourself nearby the Rokin or Oudezijds Voorburgwal its a nice option for a refreshment. https://zeppos.nl

Beautiful space with excellent interior and weather permitting there is a large garden terras, in the zoo grounds, just lovely. When nice weather I would defiintely recommend booking in advance. Good for lunch, drinks or dinner. A good reason to jump on the tram or bike for a little expedition to a different area of the city. Next to the Amsterdam Zoo .https://www.caferestaurantdeplantage.nl

Step back in time, a very special coffee, tea and spice store in business since 1642. Buy some coffee beans or one of the many wonderful teas available, the loose tea provided upstairs for your consumption is from this shop, the earl grey is my absolute favourite.
