Back in 2002 loads of us City lads stayed in The Winston (right in the red light), There is a quality bar called Belushi's right there, decent tunes, and you can smoke in there too. http://www.belushis.com/bars/amsterdam City had about 100 lads out there for that trip, was a cracker! I went out there on a stag this time last year, The Grasshopper had changed to more of a restaurant now, so probably worth avoiding. The Old Sailor will be full of English lads, and a good atmosphere, and of course the Bulldog. Have a great time out there, will be a right craic i'm sure, wish I was going.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Bellushis is good and big if in a group, right off dam square you can smoke in the garden there as well. But as others have mentioned it is no trouble finding a bar in Amsterdam hundreds of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticks 1969 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Went there in 2002 like a previous poster mentioned. I think we flew into Charleroi and then spent the next few hours dodging the ticket collector on the train to Amsterdam. Everyone one was in high spirits due to the 3 lions opening at 3 am in the morning. Had a good time and was a big contingent of city fans over there including some boys from Taunton ,can’t remember much of the game du to having a good few drinks in the lead up to it. Wish I was going myself, maybe next time! . I know one thing though it will not be as mad as Rotterdam was 10 years earlier never seen such a large mob of England fans in all my life ,some of them were truly frightening......

North London Red Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 4 hours ago, Never to the dark side said: Talksport saying 5,000 English fans are heading there. Not sure how that squares up with the amouint heading to Russia. I suspect there will be considerably fewer than 5,000 fans with tickets sold through the FA’s official allocation in both Volgograd and Nizhny Novgorod (especially as our allocation was, I believe, lower than this). Given that it’s quite a bit nearer, Kaliningrad (Belgium game) seems to be the one that most are heading to, especially given the number of relatively cheap flights from the UK to Gdańsk, Warsaw, Vilnius or Kaunas. That said, there will inevitably be a lot of English expats from all corners of the world heading to the World Cup, as happened in South Africa and Brazil (and previous world cups). I remember sitting next to an England fan on a Miami to Manaus flight 4 years ago, who was meeting his brother later that day in Manaus - his brother had flown to Brazil from New Zealand for the Italy game.

YorkshireSection Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 There's a good amount of justified worry around the safety of England fans, however, I don't think they will be the only set of supporters that will come under attack from the Russians.

Do you not think all these ‘England fans will come under attack’ reports are hysteria? We were all meant to come under attack from Ukrainian hooligans at Euro 2012 - Sol Campbell’s infamous line, ‘you’ll come home in a coffin’. We were all meant to be carjacked and shot in South Africa in 2010. We were all meant to be mugged and fatally stabbed in Brazil in 2014. I had a great time at all three tournaments. Perhaps I’m being blasé about Russia, but I find some of these multiple scare stories hard to take seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anglo-Welsh Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Loads of great bars on the strip in Red Light district. Many have recommeneded the Old Sailor, which is great. I'd also recommend Frontline bar and Cafe Remember. Majority of places have some sort of smoking area too. Obviously the Bulldog is a must. There are 3 of them on the same street. Go for the one in the middle, which looks like an old victorian pub inside. It is the only bulldog that allows smoking and beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In assorted Cities across Europe, there is a Belushi's bar and joined on to it is a branch of St Christopher's Hostels giving cheap B&B. Beds are soft, rooms clean and the bathrooms are spotless. The dorms are mixed sex. The first time I went in the next bed as a 19 year old female! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
