Waterfront. Food. Music. Noord.
About
Founded by Sjoerd Steenbeek on the IJ waterfront of Amsterdam-Noord. Built from salvaged shipping containers, Pllek is a 'feel good food' restaurant and event space — sustainably sourced, chef-led kitchen, Sunday yoga sessions, Laidback Live music on weekends, and outdoor cinema on the beach in summer. Best sunset views in Amsterdam.
XRED EYEZ Guide Note
The full Noord evening: ferry across the IJ, sunset at Pllek, food from a quality kitchen, music after. This is why XRED EYEZ covers more than cannabis — the full day and evening is the experience.
A 10-hectare former shipyard in Amsterdam-Noord transformed into Europe's most ambitious creative district. STRAAT Museum (street art and graffiti), the IJ-Hallen flea market, music festivals (PIV, Festifest, Tropikali), public art at monumental scale, and artist studios. Reach it by a 10-minute free ferry from Central Station.
Noord's industrial waterfront restaurant — built in part from recycled shipping containers, with a beach terrace that operates year-round and views across the IJ to the city skyline. Pllek has built one of the best casual food and drinks cultures in Amsterdam: relaxed, seasonal, enormously popular, and genuinely worth the ferry ride from Centraal.

The A'DAM Tower's hotel in Amsterdam-Noord — every room comes with a record player, vinyl collection, and panoramic IJ waterfront views. The Lookout rooftop (with Europe's highest swing) offers 360° city views. Sir Adam is part of the Sir Hotels group: a 108-room music-forward identity with a vinyl bar, gym, and a deliberately edgy aesthetic. Free ferry from Centraal Station is 5 minutes — Noord is close without being central.
