Bar Dancing Multipla – Amsterdam West
Bar Dancing Multipla, named after the iconic Fiat Multipla car, has quickly become a staple of the Amsterdam nightclub scene.

In addition to well-known DJs, local music collectives primarily curate the evenings at this popular Amsterdam nightclub, offering a diverse music program every weekend. If you like, you can cool down after a sweaty dance session in the parked Multipla outside this popular Amsterdam nightclub.

Skatecafé – Amsterdam North
When you step inside the walls of Skatecafé, you’re met with complete chaos. There’s a plaza with a soccer field, a room with a half-pipe, and a recreated brown café in a garage space. This is exactly what this club is all about. You never quite know what to expect when you enter, and that’s what makes it so fun. On a regular Saturday, you can dance with a well-known Dutch DJ to a 00’s mix set, play soccer outside at 2 PM, and listen to a live rock band in the small area. At Skatecafé, it’s never boring.
Location: Gedempt Hamerkanaal 42, Noord
Opening Hours: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 3 PM – 3 AM
RadioRadio – Amsterdam West

DJs who have been in the scene a bit longer often host their own nights here, making for an evening you experience with fans who really come for the artist and the music. The club is so small that you are always at the front row during a killer set by your favorite DJ. With the signature moon as décor, you will make an entrance into a never-ending night full of music and intimacy.
