Neighborhood Bars
Some great bars we like to go in the neighbourhood to have a drink and a snack.
So many beers to try
at a great location in front of the entrance of the Oosterpark and the Troopenmuseum, so make sure to visit. Might get busy in the afternoon, so don’t come late to reserve your spot.

At the beginning of the Linnaeusstraat, in front of the Tropenmuseum you can find this nice cozy bar with loungy interior. Great outdoor terrace to enjoy the sun and have breakfast or lunch. In the evening the bar is opened and you can also get some nice meals. Overall a great place to hang out and drink cocktails. Sometimes a DJ plays some relaxing tunes during the weekend.
