5 Best Bars in De Pijp, Amsterdam

This popular neighborhood café is warm and cozy inside with a street-side corner terrace that's great for people-watching while sipping the house IPA (there are also cocktail pitchers and gin and tonics, as well as spritz and wine). Simple bar food and snacks and a welcoming staff complete the package.

This nacht café, or night café, is the place where the revelry continues after other haunts have closed. It fills up with partiers from all walks of life looking for a few more rounds and a little eclectic music before the morning light. It's open until 3 am (and until 4 am on weekends).

This friendly neighborhood coffeeshop is in the heart of multicultural De Pijp. With a happy, homey vibe and light and airy decor featuring work by local artists, this is a place where everyone will feel welcome. They have a patio where you can freely smoke their high-quality, all-organic products.

Around the corner from the bustling Albert Cuyp is this bistro/bar that packs them in so tight it makes walking through the market look like a day in the park. All sorts of locals converge here, from students to suits, but don't despair: there's plenty of room on the humongous terrace, which takes up much of the Gerard Dou square.

This stoners' mainstay, steps from the Albert Cuypmarkt, is known for its quality weed, homey feel, and, believe it or not, coffee and vegan edibles. The work of local artists lines the walls, giving you something to contemplate when the mood hits.
