De Vliegende Hollander

Great stuff on Zuiderdiep, opposite the Pathé cinema. Inside there's a smoking room but no real hangout space.

De Herbivoor
This place calls itself an "organic, vegan, salad bar". And while sustainability is clearly the focal point of this popular lunch place, you'll find more than just salads here. Think burgers, wraps, soups and sweet pastries - and a daily changing menu, based on seasonal produce. Dinner is only available on Thursdays.
Tue Wed Fri Sat 11:00-18:00, Thu 11:00-21:00, Sun 11:00-17:00€15-30

Chaplin's
One of the many bars at Gedempte Zuiderdiep. Quite popular bar, also with students.

De Medley
A good pick up coffee shop. Can't smoke inside or stay there, but it's quite cheap. Joints for €3, also many kinds of hash (like Maroc and Afghan) for about €5-6 & weed/wiet: powerplant, sneeuwwitje (snow white), Afgaan (Afghan) €6, 10 or 20.

Pathé
Nice cinema in the city center. All popular movies are shown here. 9 screens, capacity: 1700 guests.
