| Diep Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 256  (420
20 20).  In stark contrast with Bep, Diep sports a camp brown interior complete with crystal chandeliers and disco lighting. Well stocked bar and a turntablist, tucked away in a small booth. As with Bep, lots of young creative barhoppers. Open 5pm-1am (3am weekends).  [5 reviews, avg 7/10] Finch Noordermarkt 5 (626 24 61). Hip neighborhood hangout in the Jordaan bordering the Noordermarkt square, the focal point of the Jordaan area. The square hosts a biological market on Saturdays and a flea market on Mondays, and during market hours Finch is packed. Other days it's a mellow bar with a cool interior, loungy tunes, and good food. Nice sidewalk terrace during summer. Open 11am-1am (3am weekends). [1 review, 8/10] Huyschkaemer Utrechtsestraat 137 (627 05 75).  Small
split-level bar-restaurant with a modern interior, featuring an expansive
tile mosaic behind the bar and furniture designed by the owner himself.
Though this used to be a gay bar, nowadays the Huyschkamer caters to a mixed,
young and arty crowd. Small outdoor terrace during summer.Open 4pm-1am (3am weekends). [1 review, 1/10] Lime Zeedijk 104 (639 3020). Trendy bar in the Nieuwmarkt area, with a modern minimalist interior. DJ's and cocktails makes this an excellent spot to while away some time. Popular so can get quit crowded later in the evening. Open 5pm-1am (3am weekends). [2 reviews, avg 8/10]

Absinthe, though highly fashionable in the 19th century, became linked with
permanent brain damage in the beginning of twentieth century. The drink
was blamed for Van Gogh's ear-cutting incident for example, and all this
led to a worldwide ban. The Absinthe bar recreates some of the resulting
mystique, hopefully without detriment to your personal health. DJ's during
the weekend.
Bep
attracts a crowd of young and hip creatives and media types, as do a lot
of the bars in this area; small scale pubcrawls between the neighboring
bars seem to be the fashion. Bep is the more composed, mostly due to the
well lit interior and the light colors. It isn't very spacious and with
the bar located in the middle of the floor it gets crowded during weekends.
In summer everyone spills out onto the sidewalk. Bep offers inexpensive
food until 10.30pm.
