Today's task is to try and help an old friend entertain himself and a few buddies on an overnight layover in Amsterdam. They have no hotel and are trying to just stay out all night, not as easy to do as you'd think in our fair city. I did my best to compile a list of centrally located addresses that might assist them in this quest.

Cafe the Minds
Spuistraat 245
9pm-3am
late-night punkish bar that usually ends up being the last destination of the evening

De Buurvrouw
Sint Pieterspoortsteeg 29
10pm-3am
late-night small rowdy place that is a bit hard to find so you'll probably be the only tourist

Café Cuba
Nieuwmarkt 3
12noon-1am
good mojitos if that's your kind of thing and more chicks than most other RLD places, if that's your thing

Nes-Café
Nes 33
4pm-1am
i like this weed-friendly bar, good beer, pool table, decent music usually

Burger Bar 1
Kolksteeg 2
11am-3am
above-average European burgers

Burger Bar 2
Warmoesstraat 21
11am-3am
above-average European burgers

Café Belgique
Gravenstraat 2
2pm-1am
tiny but great place for Belgian beers

A-fusion Food & Drinks
Zeedijk 130
noon-11pm
decent dim sum + sushi, unless you're from California, then it will probably disappoint

Engelbewaarder
Kloveniersburgwal 59
11am-1am
used to be our local, good bar for a laid-back hang/conversation

Aneka Rasa
Warmoesstraat 25-29
hours unknown
sit-down Indonesian, best Indo you'll find in this hood

China Si Chuan Kitchen
Warmoesstraat 17
hours unknown
sit-down Sichuan, a rarity in Amsterdam

Kam Yin B.V.
Warmoesstraat 6
hours unknown
takeout/sitdown Surinamese, crazily cheap for this hood, decent rotis and duck, avoid the soups

Toko Joyce
Nieuwmarkt 38
4pm-8pm
Indonesian sandwiches, something you won't find outside of  NL, this is the best non-shwarma fast food in the red light

De Kletskop
Zeedijk 10
4pm-1am
dive bar with a lovely old ambiance

Nachtclub San Francisco
Zeedijk 40-42
noon-3am
late bar for serious troublemakers, this is officially the last resort

Sex Palace
Oudezijds Achterburgwal 84
hours unknown
Amsterdam's last remaining peepshow, slummy/scummy adventure

La Vie En Proost
Bethlehemsteeg 23
8pm-3am
a*dam's only strip club, it sounds horrible and depressing but only €5 to get in, and you know, on the right night...it could be adventure city.
