Oostelijke Handelskade 4 (311 86 86). Housed
in a former Port Authority building slightly out of city center, Panama
comprises a restaurant and a hip nightclub/theatre. The restaurant itself
is a roomy affair, with large windows, high ceilings and subdued stylish
decoration. Good, French/international cuisine. Wines a bit pricey. Open daily 11am-midnight. Supper Club Jonge Roelensteeg 21 (344 64 00). A
trendy three-in-one; restaurant, bar
and lounge. The downstairs bar is entirely done up in red, and the lounge
is overwhelmingly white [think milkbar from Clockwork Orange]. Apart from
being the most popular days, Fridays and Saturdays are also the most spectacular
with live music and DJ's. Open daily 8pm-close, Lounge 7pm-close [lounge is members only]. Vakzuid Olympisch Stadion 35 (0900 - 825 98 43). Opened
after an extensive renovation of the old Olympic stadium, in the space underneath
the grandstands. The result is an architectural interesting multi-level
interior that remains remarkably transparent. Vakzuid is a multifunctional
meeting place with a bar area with sushis and DJ's, a restaurant with a
fashionable mix of Asian wok dishes and traditional Mediterranean cooking
and of course a lounge area. Large outside terrace during summer. Attracts
a fair share of the city's Porsches and Beemers on any Sunday afternoon.
Open Mon-Thu 10am-1pm, Fri 10am-3pm, Sat 12am-3pm, Sun 12am-1pm. Wolvenstraat 23 Wolvenstraat
23 (320 08 43). Hip city center bar, good for breakfast, lunch, dinner and general lounging. Appropriate '70s meets the new century' decor and tunes, with a public to match. The eats are mostly Asian in origin, with the usual modern twist of course. Open daily 8am-1am (weekends 9am-2am). Zebra Lounge Korte Leidse Dwarsstraat 14 (489 55 00). Controversial
but stylish club near the Leidseplein.
The Zebra Lounge was the first bar
in Amsterdam to stage pole dancers. The poles had to go, but the dancers
remain. Two dance floors, several bars and the availability of private booths
create a luxurious and exclusive atmosphere. If you want a private booth
you'll have to make advance reservations, and it might be good to know they
require a minimum spend.Open Wed-Sun 10pm-2am (3am weekends). |
