A meeting place where game, atmosphere and hospitality come together along the Amsterdam canal.
Poolbar
de Gracht
Aim while standing not while shooting
8-ball: the only decision harder than what to drink
Less talk, more chalk
I came for the pool, stayed for the shots
Life’s a game, chalk it up

Pool
Pool as it’s meant to be: sharp, social, and just a little too competitive.
Darts
Bullseye or bar talk — both count when playing at De Gracht.
Biljarten
Silence, focus, and a touch of arrogance — the perfect game.
Live sports
Live sports in a bar: because watching at home doesn’t count.

long story short

Poolbar de Gracht long story short
Fancy a game of pool?
here’s what you should know
Pool originated in 15th-century Europe and was once a pastime for kings and nobles. It started outdoors, but soon moved inside, with green cloth on the tables standing in for grass.
Over the centuries, it evolved from an elite pursuit into a game for everyone. Today, pool is loved around the world for what it truly is: a blend of focus, skill and pure good company.
A Company Outing to Remember
At De Gracht, a great company outing comes down to three things: games, drinks and a dash of bravado. Step out of meeting mode, grab a cue or a dart, and find out who’s the real team player, or just the loudest one. Add a plate of classic bar snacks and you’ve got the perfect mix of team spirit and pub fun.
