Amsterdam Hostel - The Flying Pig Uptown Hostel Bar
Our Backpackers Bar at the Uptown Hostel Amsterdam
Among all Amsterdam hostels, this Flying Pig backpacker bar with its warm and typically Dutch-pub interior, is well known for its inviting and funky hostel bar atmosphere. In this Amsterdam hostel bar you will find the cheapest beer in town and a themed party every 10 days. Together this will make your stay even more memorable! International holidays are often used as an excuse for drink-specials in this cosy backpacker bar too!
During the day you can relax with your friends on the bar’s lounge stage or in our typical Dutch smoking room. Play some cards and Chess or one of the many other games available in this Amsterdam hostel bar. You can trade a book and watch free movies on the TV and the big screen too. If you start getting the munchies then don’t hesitate to ask for a delicious snack. If however these snacks don’t seem enough for you – you can easily whip up something more substantial in our fully equipped hostel kitchen!
The many travellers, our friendly staff and the standard cheap drink prices make the Uptown hostel bar an unbeatable place to meet new friends and kick back - when you’re in Amsterdam!
If you can tear yourself away from the hostel bar for a taste of the local nightlife then check out the Leidseplein (square) - a five minute walk away. Here you’ll find that special pub, club or coffee shop - to suit your tastes! Finish the night in the old church and so-called pop temple - Paradiso, the old milk factory turned nightclub - Melkweg or the Sugar Factory!
This Flying Pig hostel bar is smoker-friendly but in order to buy our famous Dutch grass, you have to walk one of the many coffee shops close by.
