  2. Café L'Esperance

    This is a small, skinny, typically Dutch pub - nostalgic, cheerful, wood panelled, cosy, and pumping in the summer time. It often has live music, with big and little men belting out big fat tunes to big crowds in a thin space.

  3. In Casa

    This place is huge and, from the outside, looks as though it has no atmosphere - but appearances can be deceiving. It has live music, a dance floor, comedy and a variety of other events.

  4. JazzCafé the Duke

    No windows, but loads of yellowing, vintage jazz posters on the walls. Their motto is, 'If we don't have it, you don't need it'. It's true: you don't need windows to enjoy this atmospheric den, with its fine live jazz every night, and suitably appreciative crowds.

  6. North End

    This superb English-style pub is full of warmth, cosy nooks and character. It comes complete with its very own 'bourbon alley' (not very English, granted, but a welcome selection of booze all the same) and patented beer strippenkaart (strip card).
