This months meetup is a little late, but don't worry, we have a fantastic bar for you :) Cafe De Zotte is an intimate bar with a great selection of beers, and a good kitchen too (at least last time i ate there!). Hidden behind the Leidseplein, it avoids all the problems that accompany being close to such a big tourist destination, and retains its unique character. See you there!

Let's turn our attention to the things Holland is good at - brewing beer. Arendsnest has nothing but good Dutch beers and they might even help us forget that nasty referee.

Soundgarden looks like my bedroom when I was 16. That said, you should still join us on their private terrace and find out what makes this place feel so much like home.

Who knows if we'll have sun, but inside is as good as out at De Bekeerde Suster. Come early to eat or feel free to drop by later.

Let's roll the dice (again) and predict some warm weather on the evening of our next meet-up. There's nothing better than sitting on the terrace overlooking a canal in the city center sipping on a beer or three. If the weather turns south we can always grab a big table in back!

Easter Sunday at ‘t IJ again…

Enginedriver — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 09:46:36 +0000

When I keep seeing rabbits with eggs it can only mean one thing. It’s time to organise the easter pissup again.

Sunday 4th April
Proeflokaal ‘t IJ
Funenkade 7 (There’s a big windmill there so you can’t miss it)
Doors open 15:00 (our tram gets us there about 5 past)

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to drink Passij till drinking more would be stupid.

Stupid happened around 7:30 last year but in 2008 we made it to closing time. Which is actually 8 o’clock. It was also snowing quite hard that day in 2008.

Could it be? Sun? Let's celebrate knowing the sun still exists with something amber in a glass. Cafe de Spuyt doesn't have a terrace to speak of, but the selection, location and atmosphere make up for it.

The Old Nickel happens to be Amsterdam's only beer hotel (but we'll stick to the large cafe area). 2 minutes from CS, the cafe is decorated with wood-carvings and paneling from the Captain's quarters of the 17th century ship of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter. Join us as we try not to get sea sick while we sample beers from the 70+ menu.
