Supper Club

We stayed at the Flying Pig outside of town, and two of our friends stayed at the downtown location. Both were very nice for the price. We had a room to ourselves and a bathroom that we shared with another room on the same floor. There was a small breakfast each day for free, and it was just enough to hold us over till lunch and save us some money. The best part was the hang-out area downstairs where you could meet all kinds of people and smoke and drink in the evening. There was no smoking or drinking in the morning. They had cheap beer there at night to get a start on the evening.

This is one of the most unique places I have ever been to dinner. I went with two friends, and we had made reservations online a while in advance.

The place was very hard to find, as it was down a small ally and the door was hidden, with no sign hinting it was there. Once we realized that the big gold door was the Supper Club, we made our way into a bar/lounge area where we had some drinks to start. The decor was great; everything was white with colorful lights glowing on it.

Once there were a few more people, they started to seat us in the dining area. We sat a sofa/bed-type thing that was long enough to fit many parties next to each other. There was lots of music and live video shows all night long, as well as some people dressed in drag dancing on the bar at certain points in the night. The menu was predetermined, so they brought us a full five-course meal, and everything was excellent. The coolest part was there were a few girls (also dressed in all white) who went around and, for an additional charge, would give you a back massage in between courses.

Overall, it was a great experience. The price was high, so we made it our one expensive night out since we were students at the time. I would recommend this to big groups or to a couple, because it can also be very romantic.

There are tons of canal rides you can take in Amsterdam, and it's a must. But if you are young and/or there partly for the loose drug laws, you should try your best to find this tour. I don't know the name, so good luck... We found this through a flyer at the hostel we stayed in, and it was a small, open boat for about 10 people. We met at a comedy club across from the Bulldog. That’s the most I know about the location.

But the tour guide is from the US and moved to Amsterdam. He knew so much about the area, and there was no language barrier. He told us to grab a beer or whatever we wanted to take on the boat so we could relax, ask questions, and see the area. I learned more about Amsterdam on that boat ride and still had a fun time. We met some cool people there, too.

This is a coffeeshop, so they did not serve alcohol. They did serve all kinds of snacks, energy drinks, and other cool things. They had stuff like magic milkshakes. They also have a good menu for pre-rolled joints. This place had GREAT MUSIC and is very laid-back. We went here almost every day we were in Amsterdam because it was a good meeting place between our hotel and some friends’ hotel, and every day we loved it. It's a little tight sometimes, but there are very private areas, as well as a bar.
