Cheap Pints Amsterdam

Buckfast W

Hey as the title suggests I'm looking for places in Amsterdam that have drink promotions or just do cheap drink. I'm staying in the city centre so anywhere around there would be useful, going Sunday-Wednesday.

Cheers.

Nowhere within spitting distance of the Damrak or the red light.

Pub prices are not particularly cheap there at all, actually. Usually end up renting an apartment and bringing stuff back. Shops sell beer and some have spirits under the counter (proper brands, but they're not allowed sell them); there's a large offlicence Here off the back of the Dam Square that sells them properly.

Soundy that place is only around the corner from my hotel.

Just thought I'd give it a shot on the off chance that there was some Dive bar selling pints for 3 euro or the likes, like in Brussells there's a bar called the Celtica selling pints for 2 euro and it's bang in the centre. A man can dream :pac:

There's a divey rock and blues bar called Hill Street Blues that was cheap enough iirc pretty much in the middle of the RLD. I think a pint of the cheapest beer was about €3.

Unfortunately not but it does have 2 pool tables upstairs, would be good if you had a group of people

Pints are 3.50 till 9pm, there is live music (usually 2 bands) every night and pool tables. It's just off Leidseplein, last time I was there a year ago it was a euro to get in.
