Marcanti Kingdom venue is transformed into the spectacular Chemistry, with

Dansen
Bij Jansen Handboogstraat
11 (620 17 79). The city's student club. Various music styles, although all on the safe side: disco, pop, house. Below is a small dance floor, with a quieter separate bar on the top floor. 'Student-only' means you need a valid student ID to get in. Jansen has a happy hour every night from 11pm-midnight. No dress restrictions. Open daily 10pm-4/5am.
De Duivel
Reguliersdwarsstraat 87 (626 61 84). Amsterdam's only hip-hop club, with rap and hip-hop beats and a crowd to match. Occasional live music on weekends. Open Thu-Sat 8pm-3/4am. |
| Escape Rembrandtplein 11 (622 11 11). The
Escape theater is one of the larger clubs in town with a capacity of well
over 2,000. Most nights the venue is rented out to party organizers; check
the flyers section to see what's going
on. Despite its size, expect to queue. The notoriously selective door policy
seems to have relaxed a little. Open Thu-Sun 11pm-4/5am. Industry Paardenstraat 17. (no phone) Large split-level club in a small alley just off Rembrandt square. Music is mostly R&B, with the dance floor downstairs and the bar on the first floor. Open Thu-Sun 11pm-4/5am. Jimmy Woo Korte Leidsedwarsstraat 18 (626 31 50). Hot
new club where ancient Hong-Kong mixes with modern design. Black is the
dominant color here, with a large lounge area with black leather sofa's
and a black bar, and the opium table is not missing of course. The dance
floor is downstairs, with excellent lighting and sound system. Famous for
its selective door policy; either you're on the guest list, or you join
the endless queue hoping the door bitch will favor you. Korsakoff Lijnbaansgracht 161 (625 78 54). Korsakoff
combines a street level dance floor with a first floor bar. Alternative
punk-rock and grunge sounds, and gathering
place for Amsterdam's gothic scene. The bar has a
balcony with a good view of the dance floor. Live music on Wednesdays. Open daily 10pm-3am (4am weekends). Magazijn Warmoesstraat
170. Easygoing unpretentious club, without door policy. Industrial retro interior with a laid-back atmosphere. Nice old leather couches to lounge on, cheap(ish) drinks, and soulful tunes mixed by local DJ's. Mansion Hobbemastraat 2 (616 66 64). Trendy
club-restaurant, with a dance floor downstairs, several cocktail bars on
the first floor, and a restaurant on the top floor. The restaurant serves
en vogue modern Chinese cuisine. The interior is a real power trip, with
ostrich leather on the walls, ceiling paintings inspired by the Sistine
Chapel, and some walls covered with actual gold leaf. It might be wise to
dress up a little bit!Open daily 6pm-1am (3am weekends). |
