Siberië

Friendly and mellow, Siberië has regular free horoscope readings, open mic nights, exhibitions, and DJs at weekends. There's also internet access and plenty of board games, making it a cool place to while away any rainy day with great coffee or one of their forty different loose teas (no nasty bags on a string here). The same owners run De Supermarkt (Frederik Hendrikstraat 69, 486 2479, www.desupermarkt.net) and well-established neighbourhood coffeeshop De Republiek (2e Nassaustraat 1A, 682 8431, www.republiek.nl), both west of the Jordaan.
