Drinks & Nightlife
This place is where Joris works and is known for it's excitement, friendliness and location. They make good cocktails from €5 at happy hour, my favourite being a Bloody Mary. Pints of beer go for the same price, and there is plenty of choice. Monday and Thursdays there is live music, and on Fridays and Saturdays there is a DJ.

The Mama Shelter bar is designed by Philippe Starck. This absolutely stunning place has a mind blowing interior, where you should go for a pizza and a drink. When you hang around for too long the bill starts adding up though.
