AMSTERDAM CLUBS: OUR GUIDE TO THE BEST NIGHTCLUBS

Amsterdam's clubbing scene is diverse and exciting, with something for all tastes and budgets. From the trendy clubs in the city center to the underground techno clubs in the outskirts, there's something for everyone. The city's nightlife is centered around the Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein areas, which are home to some of the most popular clubs in the city. However, there are also plenty of clubs to be found in other areas, such as the Jordaan and De Pijp. By purchasing our Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket you get access to a multitude of these most popular Nightclubs, Bars and Special Events in the city!

Melkweg is a spot that cannot be left out. Not from this list, not from your visit to Amsterdam. It’s pop culture at its finest and throughout the week this city icon welcomes you for all kinds of events. Their program is legendary and includes theatre performances, (music)films and exhibitions but the club nights are definitely the cherry on the cake.

The club is located in the last remaining factory building at Leidseplein and back in the days, milk was their signature drink. But that’s all in the past because international DJ’s, musicians and two concert halls where you can party all night long are better served with cocktails and shots.

Melkweg is a non-profit organization that aims to please a wide audience, support experimentation and create a platform for young talent and subcultures. Freely translated this means it’s a club with few boundaries and endless opportunities. Attitudes don’t make it past the entrance and you don’t need to look fancy either. The atmosphere is laid back and friendly, Melkweg is for everyone and that includes you.

In the Oostelijk Havengebied, also known as the Eastern Docklands, an old warehouse is home to Club Panama. This large historic building is impossible to miss and an excellent place to soak up the Amsterdam party feels. It can hold up to 1050 people so expect a party at Panama to be big in every way.

Ranked amongst the best in Amsterdam, Club Panama has a well-deserved reputation. Big house & techno DJ’s and live performances and the superb sound system mean that you can enjoy the music from any corner of the nightclub. Check what’s on before you head over to make sure you know what to expect.

A good atmosphere and helpful staff are always guaranteed so the only thing you need to worry about is getting your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket and select the events you want to check out. No need to dress up either, the only thing that needs to be in check are your dance moves.

Air Amsterdam breathes a dynamic atmosphere within the clubbing scene. Renowned for its welcoming inclusivity, AIR provides a space where everyone can be themselves.

Enter Jimmy Woo, a legendary club with an aura of mystique and an opulent Asian-inspired interior that instantly entices you into its exclusive realm.

Club John Doe, a relatively new addition to the Amsterdam scene, prides itself on its anonymity yet stands out for its unique concept. Nestled in the bustling Rembrandtplein area, this venue thrives on mystery and the unexpected, offering a raw and pure clubbing environment. With its regular theme nights and varied musical direction, there’s always something new to discover.

Apart from the obvious—always bring your ID, check age restrictions and dress codes, and don’t show up at a club entrance looking completely hammered or high on drugs—there are a few more things that are good to know when you head out to party in Amsterdam’s night scene.

We’ll keep it short because we don’t want to sound like your mom, but we want to ensure you are fully prepared to enjoy what Amsterdam’s got in store for you.

Staying outside the city center? Make sure you have Uber all set up or a rental bike parked out front as trams and pretty much any other forms of public transport stop after midnight. You can use your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket to get your first Uber ride under €10 without paying anything. Combining the nightlife experience with the weed experience? There are a few things you better not show in public and that neatly rolled joint is one of them. Save it for the coffee shops and don’t try to sneak it into clubs, trust us the smell will give you away the second you fire it up.
