Drinks & Nightlife
De Marktkantine (The Market Canteen) is temporarily housed in the old Marcanti building at Jan van Galenstraat 6, a striking building with lots of history. Built in 1936 as canteen for merchants from the neighboring market (now the Food Center Amsterdam), it was expanded in 1956 to include a large theater where artists like Jacques Brel performed. During the 1990s it became a popular nightclub, and now, after being vacant for five years, we have restored its honor taking it back to where it all started: the Marktkantine, at the market.
In De Marktkantine you can experience it all from good food to a pleasant working environment and practical learning space.

Amsterdam's Jordaan is probably the most famous neighbourhood in the Netherlands. Akin to the reputation enjoyed by London’s Cockneys, this once working-class bastion was renowned for tight community bonds, radical politics and a love for drink and over-the-top sing-a-longs. Gentrification of decades past has worked to attract more galleries, restaurants, specialty shops and upwardly-mobile residents to its higgledy-piggledy scenic streets.
