Personal comments
Monday night 11-12pm: Happy Hour in Sally's o' brians
Wednesday night (don't remember the time): The Storm (pretty wierd place but happy hour!)
Apart than those places, Molly Mallone's (don't do anything illegal in the there, otherwise you won't be allowed to enter there anymore for the rest of the year, believe me!
De Stadlander is good to start the even, as De Cafe Spieghel does. Drie Gezusters is not to be missed.
events: well, don't miss Queen's day... and if you like live music, try to get organized to go to Pinkpop in the south of Holland (end may - beginning june)... It's perfect!
