Stone’s Café Bar & Nightclub is an all-day pub, sports bar and late-night club at Warmoesstraat 96, 1012 JH Amsterdam, in the Burgwallen Oude Zijde area of Amsterdam, Netherlands. Its core identity is a wood-panelled, English-style meeting place where travellers can start with breakfast, watch live sport on big screens, play pool and stay on as the room shifts into a dance-focused night venue. It is a practical stop for visitors exploring the historic centre who want familiar comfort food, a sociable bar atmosphere and exceptionally late opening.
What to Expect at Stone’s Café Bar & Nightclub
By day, Stone’s is geared toward casual café-bar use rather than formal dining. The menu is known for English breakfasts, pancakes and toasties, making it useful for a substantial morning meal or an easy break between canals, museums and shopping streets. The wood-panelled interior gives the room a traditional pub character, while television screens make it a natural choice when major football and other televised sporting fixtures are on. Pool adds an activity beyond drinking or eating.
Later in the evening, the emphasis moves from food and sport to drinks, music and dancing. Friday and Saturday hours run until 5am; the rest of the week closes at 4am. This long day-to-night rhythm is the defining experience: arrive early for breakfast or a daytime drink, return for a match, or make it a late stop after dinner in the old centre. Expect a compact, busy historic-centre bar rather than a large, purpose-built nightclub complex.
- English breakfasts: hearty, familiar breakfast plates are a signature daytime draw.
- Pancakes and toasties: quick café-style choices for a casual meal in the centre.
- Big-screen sport: televised fixtures give the bar a match-day focus.
- Pool play: an easy group activity between drinks or before a night out.
- Late nightclub hours: open to 5am on Fridays and Saturdays, and 4am on other nights.

Visiting Tips, Getting There & Nearby Pairings
For breakfast or a quieter meal, go soon after the 9am opening. For big-screen sport, arrive before kick-off, particularly for high-profile football, as seating is more useful than arriving midway through a match. There is no standard advance ticket to buy for ordinary entry; reserve or contact Stone’s directly if your group is large, you are planning around a major fixture, or you need confirmation of late-night event arrangements. Bring valid photo identification for evening entry and expect central Amsterdam prices for food and drinks.
From Amsterdam Centraal, walk south along Damrak, then turn into Warmoesstraat; the route takes roughly seven minutes and is easy to combine with the station’s national trains, metro lines 51, 53 and 54, and tram connections. The surrounding old-centre streets can be crowded and include uneven paving and cobbles. Stone’s occupies a compact historic-streetfront venue, so wheelchair users and visitors with strollers should contact staff before travelling to confirm step-free entrance, interior circulation and accessible-toilet availability; do not rely on an elevator. Within a 5–15 minute walk are Dam Square and the Royal Palace, the Oude Kerk, and the waterfront around Damrak; Nieuwmarkt’s restaurant and bar area is also close by.
