5 Places to Drink Cheap in Amsterdam

There's a popular saying that Amsterdam is where you go to party and thus, it is no surprise that there are numerous places where you can drop by for your favorite drink - at equally tasty prices of course. But where to go? There's so much on offer! Many tourists end up in the areas of Leidseplein or Rembrandtsplein, these are one of the more «touristy» parts of the city. They are still great places, but if you really want to visit a local place where the Dutch go to drink, you should try to find a place a bit off the beaten track.
