Paviljoen Aan ’t Ij
Smack in the middle of the surreal, refurbished shipping containers (now student housing), with a view of the expanse of water and Amsterdam-Noord beyond, this metal-and-glass structure is uber-industrial inside but still a cosy space to sip a cocktail. In summer everyone plops down on the multicoloured, oversized bean bags outside.

Amstel Haven
Bike or boat up to where the Amstel meets the Singelgracht, snag a canalside table under an umbrella, and have yourself a swell view of the water and skyscrapers. The dining room becomes a dance floor with DJs on Fridays (’80s and ’90s) and Saturdays (house and club classics), and Sundays feature live music.

Struik
If you prefer your beer with a background of hip hop, breakbeats and soul, come to this laid-back corner cafe, which does good food (rockin’ roti on Tuesdays, hangover brunch on Sundays) then segues into drinking and chatting to an old-school playlist or a DJ on weekends.

Westergasterras
This cool, postindustrial, indoor-outdoor cafe next to the 1903 Gasometer (which now host cultural events and club nights) is screamingly popular every day of the week. Locals flock to the massive outdoor terrace (and one coveted comfy swing) on sunny afternoons.
