Whilst Pllek started off as a pop-up/temporary concept in 2012, it’s grown to become one of the most popular spots in the north of Amsterdam – especially in summer, as it boasts a city beach as well! This is an absolute must-visit, especially if you’re in town during summer. The decor is simple yet intricate and the vibe is undeniably good. Apart from the weekly skating lessons, you can also enjoy good food, casual drinks, or go to one of the many events hosted at Skatecafe every week. The name gives it away already the Skatecafe is a bar/restaurant and event space with its own mini skating ramp inside.

Don’t worry, there’s also a bar, making it an obligatory stop on any pub-crawl through the north of Amsterdam. A creative hub, where artists, sustainability pioneers, and entrepreneurs came together and created one of the most groundbreaking circular multi-functional spaces in Amsterdam, and maybe even Europe. In 2012, a group of architects won a contest with their business plan, receiving an old shipping yard for 10 years on loan in order to develop their vision. Their lovely beer range and great service make them the perfect spot to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon, enjoy some live tunes during a hot summer night or a chilly winter evening. This bar is popular amongst locals thanks to its friendly and accessible atmosphere and great location. Tucked away in the Noorderpark, you’ll find the cute and quirky “Pompet”.
