About The Cooldown Café
Drinks are the whole offer here — a straightforward bar priced in the $$ band, no kitchen to speak of, with doors opening at 11pm every night of the week on Lange Leidsedwarsstraat. The music runs from lounge and chill house early into commercial hits and R&B once the floor fills, which on Thursday, Friday and Saturday happens quickly; Friday and Saturday stretch to 5am, the rest of the week closing at four. The crowd skews young — an 18-25 room of Amsterdam locals, Western European visitors and backpackers who have wandered off Leidseplein — and smart casual is enough to get past the door. Valet parking is available, though most arrive on foot from the surrounding streets. It runs year-round, and it is best treated as a late stop rather than a first one.
