Many of Amsterdam's downtown bars are full of locals drinking beer or tourists making the most of their one night in the city. If you have a fancy date, don't despair! Amidst this nightlife chaos, there are quite a few upscale bars scattered throughout the city center. The variety of these upscale clubs is impressive in its own right: from roof tops to boats to historic buildings. Just be prepared to pay a fancy price for a fancy cocktail.
