Most bars open around 11 am and will remain open all day and evening until the early hours. You will find a wide range of draught beers, from the ubiquitous Heineken to the stronger Palm or refreshing 'witte bieren'(white, or wheat beers). Coffee and tea can be ordered any time of day or night, and when you need to go to the toilet, remember to take some small change with you. There is often an attendant waiting for a 25c tip.
Most cafes will serve sandwiches, salads and soup for lunch or 'borrel hapjes', (beer snacks, such as bread with salami or olives), especially if they don''t have a lunch menu. The Dutch don't have large, hot meals at lunchtime and tend to eat very early around 6 pm. The city has some really beautiful, well-preserved old cafés which are very civilised places to socialise with friends.
