Moko
Classic designer chairs are
so liberally scattered about this
hip lounge bar that you'd be
excused for thinking you had
wandered into a design
museum. To reassure yourself
that you haven't, order up one of
the home-flavoured fruit vodkas,
enjoy a meal, or repair to the
large, shady terrace beside the
canal, where you can escape the
world of fashion altogether.

Bar Bep
This establishment is not
your average hole in the wall. It
may be tiny, but Bar Bep is ultra
hip with a cool interior and
equally cool regulars. Enjoy the
spicy Asian snacks and the
music played by famous DJs.

Winston International
Once, the Winston was hip
though seedy, but a major refit in
recent years has transformed it
into one of the hottest places in
town - a vortex for artists and
musicians. A young, creative
crowd comes here for the good
DJs, live music and generally go-
getting atmosphere. Spot the
next generation of music stars,
or just kick back and have a good
time
(see p55)

IT wizards, followers of
fashion, advertising executives
and other representatives of hip,
young Amsterdam crowd in to
the place that set the trend for
the new lounge bar scene. Rub
shoulders with all of the above
as you knock back the drinks or
slurp up Japanese noodle soup
before heading off to party the
night away somwhere else.

De Duivel
Tiny, packed to the gills and
very loud, “The Devil” attracts a
young crowd from all over the
world. Once upon a
time the draw was
hip-hop - and the
chance of spotting a
famous rap artiste at
the bar. Now, times
have moved on, the
pace has changed,
and the music is
more likely to be on
a classic funk tip.
Get on down and
shake your booty.
