Trip 27.. and at a loss (with good reason)

Post by mdhfc »

Thu 26/05 just me arrives 11am-ish until 10-pmish when mate arrives
Fri 27/05 edinburgh contingent arrive at 11am-ish, london boys evening time
Sun 29/05 everyone else leaves 5pm-ish. solo times.
Tue 31/05 9.15pm flight

used to going solo or with a friend or 2 and i am almost at a loss what to do as it's a (glup) stag do. my first in Amsterdam. will try and ensure we don't behave like a 'stag do'.. we are all 30+ and have an aversion to union jack underpants after all, so that's a decent start :mrgreen:

they're all looking to me for suggestions based on my no. of trips but being more of a c/s afficionado any suggestions for decent bars/pool places would be appreciated. will be in t'Nes at some point on the thursday but not sure i want to inflict us all on y'all when the group swells. imagine we'll just wander looking for places to let us in. again, any cooler, non-RLD suggestions welcomed. i am partial to the odd pint in Sound Garden with their smoking patio out the back. so not necessarily like that bar but just different

cheers folks

Hey dude
Hope the trip with the stag goes well.
Done a few in the Dam before and have all been quite well behaved.
Couple of places I've been in the past for pool etc is Bulldog on the Liedse also lots of bars up that area also Rembrantplein. Irish pub Tara on Rokin not far from Dam Sq has pool and decent pub food that would keep the masses happy.
I arrive in Dam on Sun 29th for 3 nights so poss meet for a toke?
From Edinburgh originally now living in Newcastle.
Anyway have fun dude.

Jamaica cafe has pool tables upstairs. I've always found it pretty quiet there for playing pool while having a few drinks and smoke. Both times I've been there the music has been pretty good as well, I might have just been lucky on occasions but seemed a cool place.
