If you like rock music I would definitely recommend Excalibur, I use it as my local for a few beers whenever I am in town.

Can't say I have ever been there myself - I have to admit for 2 or 3 years I thought it was on Oudezijds Voorburgwal which explains why I always had trouble finding the dam place, although I must have walked past it a hundred times!!
But here are a couple of reviews that I found once, hope they are of some help.

Boom Chicago - Leidseplein - Great place for a few beers in the sun.
Ricks Cafe - in the RLD - Not bad green and another place to sit outside in the sun.
Stix Coffeshop - on Korte Konnigstraat
Have a blast man.........
