HOUSE OF WATT AMSTERDAM IS A place for everything

Are you looking for a new, relaxed workplace where you can sit undisturbed behind your laptop, but also want to enjoy a good cup of coffee and even a local beer? Lucky you! House of Watt Amsterdam is open in the lobby of the old Casa 400 Hotel on the James Wattstraat in Amsterdam East. A new flexi work / study place where besides working you can meet up with friends and, pay attention: eat an affordable lunch. Finally!

If you don’t feel like working or studying on the vide, you can roll down to the cafe and enjoy a glass of wine or (if the sun shines) go to the terrace in front of the building. Not feeling like cooking that evening? No worries, at House of Watt Amsterdam they make a fresh dish of the day every day that you can eat on your couch in front of the television at home. On Fridays, the doors of House of Watt Amsterdam will not close at 5 PM, the fun only starts then. Enjoy a drink and a bite and celebrate the weekend. On the weekends there are countless of kids activities so parents can relax with a good cup of coffee or a drink. Enjoy such a ‘jack of all trades’ spot!

As if this is not enough, House of Watt is also a theater. During weekdays you can book the room for (work)presentations and in the weekends and evenings it’s a spot where you can enjoy movie, stand-up comedy, but also watch Ajax and the Dutch Elftal on a big screen.
