Five Cozy Campfire Terraces Situated in Amsterdam City
While the Netherlands is not exactly known for tropical climate, the Dutch do not let inclement weather conditions keep them from socializing in the open air. As the temperature falls, the terrace bars in Amsterdam turn into welcoming places, complete with heaters, blankets and if you are extremely lucky, fire pits.
Pllek
This post-industrial Dutch hipster hotspot in Amsterdam Noord is possibly the biggest fire pit in the capital city of the Netherlands. Besides, Pllek is located on a beach, giving it that hippy and lovely campfire vibe. Just remove your footwear, cuddle up close to your near and dear ones, resist any temptations to take out your guitar, and stay warm near the flames. When it is too windy for an outside campfire, head to the indoor fire pit of Pllek and have a good time there.
Noorderlicht
This NDSM café bar, whose name translates to Northern Lights, has a big fire pit in the center of its whimsical garden terrace. A magical place to spend an evening out, Noorderlicht has a fine line in craft beers and creative food, in addition to hosting mini-festivals and live music in its waterside wonderland. When you are here, snuggle up to those you love in life and open up.
Meneer Nieges
This small place opened three years ago is already a popular spot among the trendy young people of Amsterdam city. There is a big waterside terrace which is styled into a country garden with pergolas, a grand piano, and garden furniture, all of which lie exposed to the sun until early afternoon. However, after the sunset, the coziness level ramps up, owing to a photogenic fire-pit: a big round campfire encircled by stone benches sitting in a decorative iron pergola.
Strandzuid
Under hundreds of glowing lanterns, you get to warm your hand about the campfire at the least expected area for a city beach. Strandzuid is situated behind the RAI Convention Center. Popular for corporate events and weddings, the venue is home to a microbrewery, a sandy beach and volleyball court.
Dok
Tucked away in the docklands of the Dutch capital, Dok is a summer beach shack hosting parties and mini-festivals upon its sandy beach terrace. It is a good location to escape the bustle of the city. The beach of Dok is heated by many rustic campfires, making it a very cozy night spot.
