De Buurvrouw

There are many bars, cafés, pubs, etc... in Amsterdam, but just a few ones are like the Buurvrow! Is located in a hide zone close to the red lights and Dam square, where everything around seems so quite but when you get in a really cozy atmosphere with really funky music from all genres from the 50's to nowadays. But for me the better thing has been to find a place where there are all kind of people, locals, tourists, metal, hippies, ... is a really nice place for meet nice people and listen good music for all the styles and the most important thing: To be in a place where everybody is welcome for get fun, dance and meet people in Amsterdam Centre! Hope you enjoy!!

Pretty funky and fresh, but apparently a tad less cool a spot than it used to be. Still, the crowd seemed up for a lark and the soundtrack was pretty wild – lurching from dope beats to Dolly Parton. I hear they have DJs on hand on the weekends, but this night a revolving mannequin’s head was in the lofty booth holding court and overlooking the booty-shaking below. It’s off the beaten track and tucked away enough to keep the stag-do douche bags out, which is always a plus. And it has the distinction of being one of the few late night bars in the area, so that one-pint night can happily turn into a blurry one. Definitely a good find, all in.

In Amsterdam there are only a few late-night bars, ones that don't get busy until late and stay open until after 4am on weekends. In my opinion De Buurvrouw is the best by very, very far... in terms of everything. It's not full of annoying drunks, they're fun drunks! Hahah... In all seriousness, late night bars can really be the last place you want to wind up, or remember winding up at, but Buurvrouw is a really good time. The vibe is great, bartenders are chill, music is cool (on DJ nights especially) and the people there are a good time hands down. You'll meet some true Amsterdammers there, and the place will be full of cigarette and splif smoke, and it will be great.

One of the first places I partied at in Amsterdam when i moved there. If you go when it opens, which is almost at midnight it's totally dead! You'll be the only one there wondering where all the people are! And then around 1 or 2 in the morning it's packed like crazy with fun people just wanting to drink and smoke and talk and maybe dance a little. It's open until late, like real late, and chances are you might not remember getting home but it's always a good time! Oh, and check out art on the big wall, they change it every year and it's by local artists so it's pretty cool.

Wandering through Amsterdam seems to be like crossing the mirror, or flying between clouds. People here are defying normalcy in each way. After daily work by night, they seem to float through canals, creating relationships between sense and nonsense. Cafe De Buurvrouv ( where "buurvrouv" means the female neighbour) is a bar, where are mostly men. Expats with a scent of locals. Small but cozy bar is open since 9 pm till the late night, but real party starts around 1 am. If you are looking for a place between drinking and dancing, Buurvrouv seems to be a perfect choice. Mostly with DJ’s or live music is a nice and kitschy space, decorated with small artworks on the walls. Greek style bas-reliefs of man and woman lead to the toilets and at the top of the wall, purple head, turning in the rhythm of music closely follows the space.
