Thing to Do
Oudezijds Achterburgwal 106-108 (near the Dam)

(020) 627 8943
Notes
Definitely one of the better-looking cast in town. The downside was that it was too "choreographed". But I had a look at the pictures of other sex shows and Casa Rosso performers are definitely much better looking. One of my friends went to the Banana show. You get entertainment in your face (if you pay for it), so that's the up side, but performers were apparently not so toned, if you get my drift.

Notes
No reservations made. Closed on Mondays. Probably 8pm dinner. This was by far the BEST restaurant we ate at. The food was excellent and in workable proportions so we were able to have a 3-course meal (I can usually only have a 2-course meal). I had fish and Richard had lamb -- both were superb. Menu changes daily. Highly recommend coming here. In retrospect, I wish I had had dinner here every night!!!

My view: this was a very small bar but I did enjoy the experience very much. We were the only tourists there that night, and they did have the widest selection of beers ever! Belgium fruit beers included. Very nice.

Notes
Frommers page 159.
Opening hours Tuesday through Sunday 10am - 6pm. More like a Disneyland for teenage beer lovers. Had things like a DJ booth where you could have your 15 minutes of DJ fame etc. You get 3 beers and a souvenir (bottle opener), though. And the giftshop has fun stuff to buy.
