Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most famous destinations for party seekers, mainly thanks to the exciting clubbing scene, the high number of hip bars and the friendly legal status of marijuana. Amsterdam is the electronic dance music (EDM) capital of the world, and it’s home to some of the top EMD DJs, so if you like EDM, you are in the right city! Of course, in Amsterdam’s party scene you can easily find other genres as well, whatever suits your taste. From techno, dubstep and trance, to hip-hop or funk clubs, passing from rock bars and coffee shops with reggae music. The city attracts also tons of tourists as well, and hostels are always filled with people, both travelling solo and in groups, looking to meet other people and discover what the night has to offer in Amsterdam.
We have prepared this epic party guide for you so you get to know all the secrets that Amsterdam’s nightlife has to offer and all the best bars and clubs.
The big clubs in Amsterdam are on the outskirts of the city, but there are 4 areas near the city centre where you can find anything from coffee shops to pubs and clubs. The Red Light District, Dam Square (just beside), Leidseplein y Rembrandtplein. Another interesting area for a more chill daytime going out, is Jordaan, an alternative area full of cool cafés.
If you are interested in clubbing, as the clubs are far from the city centre and you might need to plan a bit in advance, we recommend you to check Partyflock to find the hottest club and music parties in town. This site offers a comprehensive list of events, with info about the genre of music in the club that night. That way you can make sure your long trip to the club is for a party you will enjoy!
Right at the back of Dam Square, Amsterdam’s Red Light District is famous for the streets filled with windows showcasing prostitutes and strip clubs. But this neighbourhood also has a wide offer of unique and interesting shops, Dutch brown cafes and bars with a quirky atmosphere.
For a more ordinary atmosphere, head to St Christopher's at the Winston hostel’s bar Belushi’s or to the Red Light Bar . The area around Dam Square, even though a bit more touristy, also has quite a few cool bars.
Leidseplein is the most popular party area of Amsterdam, and not only for tourists. Both tourists and locals crawl its streets full of pubs, small clubs and big venues. Some of the best clubs in Amsterdam are in this area, and here is where you will find the clubs that stay open until 5 am.
But the neighbourhood also has more options than just crazy parties. It offers a few good international restaurants, some chill bars where you can enjoy a quiet beer, as well as the regular Amsterdam coffee shop where you can find all types of marijuana products.
Other cool pubs in Leidseplein are Hoopman Irish Bar and Dan Murphy’s Irish pub .
The Rembrandtplein district is another famous and lively party area right between Dam Square and Leidseplein, only 10 minutes' walking distance from each of them. It was normally an area to hang out in the afternoon before going clubbing in the other areas, but this little square has lately gained its own reputation as a party centre and numerous pubs, coffee shops and clubs are always bustling and busy with people having a good time.
Some time ago, Rembrandtplein was where you could find Amsterdam's gay scene, with many gay clubs around the street Reguliersdwarsstraat. Today has a more varied offering and, although the gay scene is quite alive in Rembrandtplein, you can find many other gay clubs around other parts of the city, like Fuxx on Warmoesstraat.
Other cool clubs in Rembrandtplein are Club Air , Feestcafe and St James’s Gate.
Amsterdam is a very relaxed and casual city in general, and this is visible as well in the door policies of the nightlife venues. Most bars, pubs and clubs allow you to enter dressing casually, with jeans and sneakers being accepted as long as you look cool, clean and not too drunk or stoned. Arriving in big groups might give you some trouble in some places, especially if you are mostly guys. Breaking up into various smaller groups could be a good idea. There are a few clubs that enforce strict dress codes though, like Escape. Check the website or ask the staff in your hostel for tips and recommendations depending on the clubs you are going to hit.
