In Search of the Perfect Neighborhood Bar

Last night the ol’gang went on a little pub crawl to discover our Jordaan neighborhood night life. We always bike by these little corner bars at night and they look so cozy inside. Here are a few gems we found.

Cafe Thijssen on Brouwersgracht is a really nice, casual bar. They have tons of board games and is also a nice Cafe during the day. Its usually pretty packed on the weekends.

Cafe ‘t Smalle is a tiny super cozy brown bar right on the canal. Full of candles and regulars.

Cafe Nol is possibly the strangest bar I have been to. You have to ring a bell to enter and the entire bar is tinted in red lighting. The music, the furniture, everything is pretty much stuck in 1973. I liked it though.

Cafe Dulac is a really nice restaurant/bar on Haarlemmerstraat. We hung out in the smoking room upstairs. They have 50% off on dinner if you have a student id.
