Marktzicht, Topido, Brinkentuin and Ronaldinho

Down the road from Bax are a few other places to visit. Marktzicht, Topido, Brinkentuin and Ronaldinho. All these bars have is Heineken. but the prices in each bar and the atmosphere are very different. At Marktzicht you pay € 1,80 for a beer they are a real local and are open very late, at Topido (which closes at 7PM) the beer is € 1,75 and at Brinkentuin and Ronaldinho € 2,00... They are all dark brown Amsterdam cafe's but Brinkentuin and Ronaldinho are Surinamese owned. At Brinkentuin you can also eat Surinamese for very cheap. I didn't go in Ronaldinho's but I'll go in there another time.

Bax

Went to Utrecht today, not gonna mention the prices of beers there cuz they are lower then in Amsterdam and have got nothing to do with this website... What I will mention is Cafe Bax on the Ten Kate market. This is a great bar with great service and good (not too expensive) food.
They also got live music and pub quizzes which are very rare in Amsterdam. Bad things? None. Good things? Terrace, service, food, entertainment, Palm, Weihenstephaner, La Chouffe, Zatte and Leeuw (€ 1,90) on tap and Corona, Koninck, Westmalle Tripel, Westmalle Dubbel, Guinness, Zatte, Columbus, Weihenstephaner Dunkel, Weihenstephaner Mald, Biturger Mald and Boon Brewery's Kriek in bottles.... Probably the best place to get nice beers in this area.
