In the general Amsterdam topic a question came up about Antwerp:

Antwerp this weekend. Suggestions for eat/drink?

Because I'm a huge fan of easy to find information I'll post my answer in this topic.

Hotels:

The best main-stream hotel, by far, is the Hilton Hotel. Excellent location and everything else you may expect from a Hilton hotel (although i'm not a huge fan of them myself).

A lot of very good smaller hotels are located in Antwerp. Especially look at "De Witte Lelie" and "Hotel Julien".

Personally I favor B&Bs. There are a lot of these in Antwerp and some are exceptional. Take a look at "Charles Rogier XI" and "Boulevard Leopold". I stayed at both of these and the rooms are very special as well as the staff. Exceptional stay here at these B&Bs. "Suites @ Feek" alsmo must be very good.

If you want an apartment I advice "Sleep In The City".

Dining

"Het Gebaar" is a restaurant which only opens for lunch and has a Michelin star, dining is fabulous and the chef is especially known for his desserts.

"Le Dome" is a good Michelin restaurant for dining.

I enjoyed a lunch at "Flamant Dining", which is a restaurant within the store of Flamant (interior design), pretty crowded and good quality food and drinks. If you want more mainstream let me name "Horta".

My personal favourite in Antwerp is "Hofstraat 24". Atmosphere, food, drinks, staff, everything is great: try it!

Drinks

The must-see is "Cocktails at Nine". This is a fucking amazing cocktail bar, with excellent cocktails!

There are a lot of places where you can get fun drinks but the ones I remember:

Absinth bar @ Brasserie Appelmans

SIPS Cocktails & Mocktails

Velvet Lounge / Stereo Sushi

Martinibar (next to the best store in town: verso)

Chocolate and Macarons

Pierre Marcolini - Chocolate master, hip, design

Gunther Watte - Nice for a cup of hot chocolate (!), or tea/coffee of course and lots of bonbons

Del Rey - Macarons

So far so good, I'll come back in shopping and partying later. If anyone wants some advice contact me by PM.

We're just looking for some places to chill in the evening, away from all the tourist but open to non locals, 25-30 crowd. A nice, laid back restaurant or bar would be cool.

Dining

Italian I would suggest Toscanini. Brasserie-style: Flo. More up-standard dining: Le Zinc or Van Vlaanderen or Vis aan de Schelde. Really good burgers, but not very nice to dine-in: Burgermeester. You can also dine at BoCinq, where you can also have drinks.

Drinks:

Bubbles & Wines (winebar), Vyne (winebar), BoCinq, Hoppe (typically amsterdam, drink a beer), Lux, Bloemenbar, cafe brecht.

Enjoy!

I have a pair of Audio Technica A900s for at home. Pretty amazing sound.

For on-the-go I am currently looking at some in-ear-monitors: Ultimate Ears 700 most probably. Triple.Fis must sound great, but it looks huge and I fear the fit difficulties a lot of people have with these. Alternative I also consider is Grado GR 08.

Since I just registered here I decided to put some effort in a good guide for Amsterdam. I'll start off with some clubbing-tips. Later on I will also write on some places for drinks, diner and of course shopping. If you want any particular tips you can also contact me by pm.

Clubbing:

Since I'm mostly into techno / techhouse, this is what you can mostly expect in these clubs. Most clubs are open until 4 except for Fridays and Saturdays: 5am. There is a plan that some clubs will be allowed to open 24hours a day in the near future, some clubs are already allowed to do so on a very irregular basis.

• Trouw - www.trouwamsterdam.nl
  

My personal favourite. Former newspaper facility, looks very underground. A lot of good techno parties are hosted here and sometimes some othery electronic music genres. Opens on Friday and Saturday and sometimes an event on Sunday. Not hard to get in or whatsoever, but long waiting lines. You can also dine here but I never tried that.

• Chicago Social Club - www.chicagosocialclub.nl
  

Second favourite. Cool place, not too big, fun people hanging out there most often. Every day of the week the bar is open. On Thursday there is a 5 euro entrance fee and there will be 2 times half an hour of "supersize", in which your drinks will be doubled: house, tech-house. Friday there are often very good parties, but I was dissapointed several times on saturday.

• Studio 80 - www.studio-80.nl
  

This is a club on the Rembrandtplein: lots of bad places there except for this one. Opens from wednesday until saturday (this Eastern also a 24hour party on sunday for eastern, with watergate club berlin). Most often techno up here. Pretty small and crowded place. Sometimes quite a lot of guys and youngsters, still a good place though. They will ask you whether you know what is playing that night and/or what kind of music you like.

• Club Up - www.clubup.nl
  

On Leidseplein, a bit hard to find: entrance on friday and saturday on the left of Palladium and on thursday just in the back, close to Amsterdamned. Opens from thursday to saturday. Lots of different nights: from deep house to disco, d&b to electro. Pretty cool place.

• Sugar Factory - www.sugarfactory.nl
  

Pretty fun place, lots of different music, on sunday "wicked jazz sounds" is quite popular.

Then there is the Westergas area.

There is a "Westergasterras", a terrace where you can get drinks and eat lunch or diner outside. Ok, nothing fancy here. Westerunie has parties on Fridays and Saturday. Gashouder and Transformatorhuis host parties for special events like Awakenings: www.awakenings.nl

Some other places you might consider:

• Paradiso - www.paradiso.nl
  

legendary pop temple, wednesday and thursday pop/dance nights for youngsters, friday and saturday more crowded: electronic music.

• Melkweg - www.melkweg.nl
  

Like paradiso, lots of concerts. Thursday pop/dance youngsters. Friday and saturday different events with electronic music.

You might consider going to club Air, although i'm definitely not a fan of it. You have to buy an "Air-debitcard" where you have to store money on what you cannot withdraw later. Other options simply suck, so don't go there unless you are a bunch of drunk touristic retards.

In the summer there are a lot of outdoor festivals in the Amsterdam area. Really fucking cool so if you are there you should definitely visit one.

Some cool festivals include:

Awakenings Festival

Zomerpark

Buiten Westen

A Day At The Park

Bigger festivals with a lot of different stages:

Loveland

DanceValley

Mysteryland
