Clubs in Amsterdam
Clubs
Clubbing in Amsterdam is relatively low-key, although lately it has changed a bit. To see what’s going on where, check the Amsterdam Agenda on this website. Some clubs are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights only, but some every day. So be careful with your money, it is very tempting to go somewhere every night!
Most clubs charge for entry with prices hovering between €5,- during the week up to €25,- for special parties on Friday or Saturday. You’re expected to tip the bouncer when you walk out, €1, - will do. Drinks are slightly more expensive then in cafés.
Dressing up is not necessary at most places, although at some smaller venues the bouncers have carte blanche about who they let in.
As far as drugs go, smoking joints is generally fine in the smoking areas but if you have your doubts, just ask the barman. All other drugs are illegal.
It’s best to turn up around midnight, before that there won’t be much happening. Places are open till 4:00 during the week, 5:00 on Fridays and Saturdays.
Winston Kingdom @ Warmoesstraat 131 The cooles underground club in the city and the only bar in the Red Light District area open till late (ok ok and the San Fransisco, but that's a different calibre). Every day different music styles from drum’n’bass to electro to rock! Live bands, acts, dj’s, vj’s and more.
Piggy guests get in for free, just by showing your keycard at the door.
