The dance clubs in Amsterdam might feel too small for somebody who is used to flashy clubs in NY, LA or London. But these clubs can be just as entertaining and completely crazy. Hip, laid-back or sophisticated – the choice is yours!
AIR
Raising from the ashes of legendary club iT on the Amstelstraat in central Amsterdam, AIR’s interior has been brought to life by the talented designer imagination of Dutchman Marcel Wanders. His lively design features a host of surprises and the theatrical, intimate result is a feast for the senses. Each area has its own style and feel which lends an extra dimension to exploring the club.
Bourbon Street
Bourbon Street Blues Club is hard to miss when strolling down Leidsekruissstraat, around the corner from Leidseplein - the Blues Brothers are dancing on the roof. Live blues and roots music play every night of the week with free entry before 23:00 most nights.
The Sugar Factory
The Sugar Factory has brought a new concept into the Amsterdam nightlife. An integration of art, music, culture, theatre and club. Multidisciplinary programming brings you innovative parties, young talent, live shows, new disco, progressive clubs, poetry, dance floor jazz, art, big bands and a creatively motivated public.
Supperclub
If you are looking for an unusual dinner experience in an unexpected place and are not afraid to discover the creative corners of your personality then knock on Supperclub’s door. Freedom is the keyword at Supperclub. It’s a mix of food, music, performances, art, the staff and... you.
Escape
One of Amsterdam’s biggest and most popular night clubs, situated in the ’entertainment area’ that is Rembrandtplein, Escape is always teaming with pretty young things.

Though national and international pop music is the primary focus, programming has now been expanded to include other disciplines such as classical, world music, festivals and spoken word.
