What’s good? Here for a few days and keen to go to some spots that aren’t Rush Hour for a change (of course will still be calling in to RH).
Red Light Records

Waxwell Records is a good visit, picked up some excellent soul 7”s in there once and the owner is a lovely chap.
Zap Records is well worth checking out as well, loads of great disco and early house 12”s, however I seem to remember their opening hours can be a bit all over the place, tried visiting on a few occasions the last time I was there (4 years ago) and they were closed each time. Might have changed since then though.
Other than those two, and the obvious ones (RH and Red Light), I was quite disappointed by the others I checked out. Most seem to price their stock at the very top end of ‘cogs prices.

Would recommend getting out into some of the smaller cities nearby. Leiden is 30 mins on the train with loads of shops. Like a mini Dam, without the sleaze. Good shops in the Hague too
Top Tips for a beer are
Arendsnest on Singel ( 5 min west Dam Sq) - 50 dutch beer on draught
De Wildman ( central) twinned with Nottinghams Lincolnshire Poacher
Cafe Belguiqe
