Experience the ultimate patio feeling at a sun-drenched summer bar. Or not? That means travelling to 10 destinations at once and dreaming away with the most delicious drinks and most surprising snacks. Where would you like to rate a place in the sun?
In the Bar Paniek jungle
Among the jumble of plants, old chairs and vintage tables, you'll chat away endlessly with a freshly tapped beer at Bar Paniek. Don't expect luxury, but enjoy a delightful hubbub of colours and styles. These become even more beautiful as the sun sinks and the towers of the Eilandje are better reflected in the water of the docks. Sometimes delicious, dishes from around the world are also served.
Sunbathing by the fountain in the Bar Noord
Amid the hubbub in Park Spoor Noord, sip a mojito or a rosé at Bar Noord. All while keeping half an eye on your offspring splashing in the fountain or scrambling in the adjacent playground. By the way, the pizzas here are delicious!
