Barracuda occupies a vast, warehouse space overlooking the IJ River. Though, it's not quite the Mediterranean waters (the oil-licked, ocean-blue floor is as close as it gets) the grilled fresh fish, calamari friti, and salad niçoise plays homage to those warmer, sunny days. Half the space is reserved for bookings, the other available for walk-in, ensuring a steady hum throughout the serving. With its canteen stools, low hanging lamps, and the more absurd jet skis and boats hanging from the ceilings, Barracuda is the ideal spot for a raucous family get-togethers to causal dates and rendezvous. To make the experience all the more Dutch, order the kibbeling (bite-sized pieces of meaty, white fish), it's a delicacy. 

Alongside a Friday mash-up of 70s hits and Italian disco beats, Beef Chief serves seriously good comfort food in Noord’s groovy warehouse complex and skatepark. It’s not their first rodeo: from a festival staple to a residency at Oedipus brewery, the burger house expands with its adjoining bar, Transit. 

Ditch the heels and rub elbows with Amsterdam's cool crowd at Garage Noord. We love starting the night at Euro Pizza, grabbing a drink at Skatecafe and then heading to Garage Noord to dance the night away.

You are guaranteed to feel hip when you cross the threshold at this trendy bar & restaurant in Amsterdam Noord. It is a great place to have a cosy, relaxed dinner with a large group of friends, thanks in no small part to the indoor skate park. Watch the skaters ollie & heel flip for hours while you sip an ice cold beer.
