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. 

What was once a bare bones car garage has been miraculously transformed into an elegant, industrial gourmet restaurant. Though we’d never say no to a cosy, intimate dinner at Hotel de Goudfazant, it’s one of the best places in town to head with a big group. Wear your loosest trousers because you won’t be able to resist ordering all of the delicious seafood on the menu.

Going to the movie theatre is almost always a good idea. It’s an even better idea when you can tuck into fresh, simple food & lovely, organic wines before you head into the chill of the theatre. FC Hyena is a cool neighbourhood cinema showing art house films. Haven’t managed to finish that bottle before the movie starts? No problem! You’re free to bring it in with you.

Amsterdam is no stranger to great music, especially when it comes to techno, deep house and EDM. Start, continue and end your night at murmur, one of Noord's many excellent bars and clubs.
