Amsterdam August Bank Holiday 2012

Post by benstraat »

This will be my 14th trip over all, and my 7th with my GF.

Going to try something completely new, and go to a nightclub on the Saturday.

Few drinks in the hotel lobby, walk onto DamSquare, down the Rokin, and onto the Rembrantplein for a few drinks and then a nightclub.

Any reccomendations?

Complete new world to me.

Anywhere Michel De Hey is playing is worth a visit and if Billy Nasty is in town go check him out :)

Nice one.
There's not many listings yet, as it's a couple of months away.

Can you reccomend any clubs in Amsterdam?

That is like asking to recommend a restaurant without telling a thing about the music you like. :D It really varies.

That being said, August is a pretty slow month. Lot's of outdoor festivals taking away from the nightclubs.

Check back with me in July to see what is happening. But nice places are

Studio 80 (Rembrandtplein)
Canvas (Wibaustraat)
Trouw (Wibaustraat)
Sugar Factory (Liedseplein)
Club Up (Leidseplein) underground

Nothing gets going before midnight.

Cheers Marco.
As I said, we usually sit in the hotel lobby with a botel of jager, then head out.
We were thinking Rembrantplein for Sutdio 80 or Escape.

What's your favourite?
