It works, it's fun, it's a cool venue with a good variety of cultural choices.
Check it out you'll probably like it.
Not really as alternative as they would have you believe. Don't come here for a glimpse into Amsterdam's glorious anarchist belief system - it's absent.
This is the newer, younger face of capitalism with a sprinkle of alternative ideology to mask the heart.
Take Cinema of the Damm'd they say it's free to come but they ask for donations (not free then is it?) Their drinks are expensive (because it's free), The wine was the smallest glass I have ever been given - less than 100ml for 3, a standard glass is 125ml - which would be acceptable if it wasn't for the constant yarn about the need for donations (they're not lying & they seem to use the money well) together with the pricing.
De Peper the vegan restaurant us the perfect example of playing alternative. They buy everything in the super dodgy expensive chain 'health' store, crow about it being organic & vegan but ignore that it's pretty disastrous in terms of taste & food combinations generally.
But hey, I'm just a meat eater who's been cooking so called vegan food for decades
Again the children of the over privileged pay lip service to ideas they study but do not or have never lived. This is their version & it works OK (for them)
