    First time visiting the city and wanted to check out the nightlife. Stood in line for a hour, we got to the front thinking "this is it, it's time to go in!", but the door people (specifically a tall blonde woman) kept looking at us and saying something to the bouncers. They ended up telling us we aren't on the list and wouldn't let us in. We were dressed appropriately and were respectful, and think they don't like Americans which is sad since no nightclub in Hollywood/America would do what they did.

    Don't waste your time...this place will make you wait in line and then not let you in because some girl in front likes to hand pick who she wants inside. We were on a list but the girl in front likes to feel like she's god so we left and had a much better night somewhere else.

    Don't even waste your time going to this pathetic excuse for a night club. I went for my friends 21st birthday we bought a table and two bottles. Two hours in the birthday boy and another friend go outside for a smoke because of the ridiculously small smoking room and end up not getting let back in by the bouncer... the rest of us remain indoors only to get our second bottle taken away from us and we were kicked out on the basis of the fact that the birthday boy was causing a scene outside, so 700 euros later and what a disappointment, at least they had an Okay DJ.

    (Translated by Google) I wanted to go in here. Give 10 euros. The girl that stood there is tearing my 10 euros through because I was 'no longer standing up'. Why does she have to tear through my 10 euros ????? (Original) Ik wilde hier naar binnen. Geef 10 euro. Dst meisje wat daar stond scheurt mijn 10 euro door omdat ik 'niet meer rechtstond'. Waarom moet zij mijn 10 euro doorscheuren?????

    All the negative rating is from intoxicated people, who cannot behave. I was also sceptical, because we were attending big ADE show but the reality never lies. Security team is kind and professional. The “ticket checking” lady was nice and understood that we cannot load the ticket because of poor signal. They let us out and then back without any problem. Barmans were also nice and even when they started closing, still gave a drink. I also met older lady, she was washing the toilets and she was funny, talkative and even dancing! When you are leaving at 5 AM, the bouncers can be a bit frustrated after 8+ hours shift during night. But they always say good bye! There was no fight, no kicking out of club. We will come back soon:)

    Very bad attitude towards customers. I accidentally waked inside when I wanted to go to a party at their neighbours, was less then a minute inside and they did not want to give the entrance fee back when I realized I was at the wrong place.

    Yeah... don't EVER go here. Awful people. Awful service. Please don't even bother. After paying €20 for entry, we went upstairs with our jackets still on because it was cold. We also had our work laptops in our bags, so we didn't want to leave them unattended. Then we were ordered to go back downstairs to pay for the coat room for both our jackets and bags. The male at the coat check was rude and offensive. I wish I could give less than one star.

    NOVA OR OAK. Wasted time In Amsterdam. 10 euros to get in and 2 euros coat jack that you HAVE TO GIVE THEM YOUR COAT. Atmosphere is ok, empty by 2 am. Small place, like regular bar, you can smell sweat everywhere and it's really hot inside, paying money to get in is absolutely NOT WORTH IT

    The security girl at the door lets in whoever she wants and doesn’t even bother to search for a good excuse. Until she gets fired this club is not worth it at all, even if you pay for the entrance, you’re going to have a 50% chance to get in, this is, only if she likes you.

    (Translated by Google) Where do you start you are first addressed with hey you now have to dock 10 euros. And then you have to hang up your coat which costs € 2.50. if you want to sit you will be told that you have to ... Well what a nice hospitality (Original) Waar moet je beginnen je word eerst aangesproken met hey je moet nu 10 euro dokken. En daarna moet je jas ophangen wat €2.50 kost. als je wilt zitten word je weer aangesproken dat je moet k...... Nou wat een leuk gast vrijheid

    This place sucks! The lady at the front, Tess is her name was SUPER rude and didn’t let me and my friends because she didn’t like the way we looked. We were respectful and she just didn’t want us in. I would recommend avoiding this place.. and Tess.

  • 1/5 Crackt C. 4 years ago on Google
    (MY REAL RATING IS 0 STARS) I was DJing at a party here, and as I was enjoying my post set cigarette I saw a friend of mine very upset in front of the club. Turns out she got kicked out for being in the stall with a few girls (understandable), HOWEVER, the bouncer violently pushed her and her friend down the stairs, scaring and hurting them both. The other two bouncers told us they have problems with this guy every weekend... Pathetic. Please do not come here.

    There is this blond, rude, elitist girl at the door, who lets in whoever she wants, not taking into account actual facts, but just her opinion on people. I don’t recommend it even a bit, choose whatever other club before this one.

  • 3/5 Iris H. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Dutch hip hop bar. Guest list doesn't mean anything here. People at the entrance are strict, wardrobe is good (€ 1), but never leave expensive things in the pockets! Bar itself is small. A nice location. The toilet could be cleaner. When it gets busy (around 1 to 2) it gets really hot and sweaty. Drinks are overprices. 5 euros for a shot. There are nicer clubs, where you don't have to pay 10 entrance fees! #sorrynotsorry (Original) Nederlandstalige hip hop bar. Gastenlijst betekent niks hier. Mensen bij de ingang zijn streng, garderobe is goed (€1), maar nooit dure dingen in de zakken laten zitten! Bar zelf is klein. Wel een leuke locatie. De wc kan schoner. Als het druk wordt (rond 1 á 2) wordt het heeeel warm, en zweterig. Drankjes zijn overprices. 5 euro voor een shotje. Er zijn leukere clubs, waar je geen 10 entree moet betalen! #sorrynotsorry

    Waited in line for over an hour and a half, while being registered. We were in the front of the line when the lady let about 20 people in, including people standing behind us in line. The lady who let people in was rude and disrespectfull. After the time we waited the club was "full". Never even went into the club.

    Firstly the bouncers were a bit impatient. Then, when we went in there was a lady that was taking people’s coats but I didn’t want to give mine. She said to give and I said no I don’t want to. Then she said either I give it to her or she throws me out (keep in mind I had already paid almost 10 euros for the tickets), and so I had to pay an extra 1.50 euro, even though inside it was really cold with AC blasting on our backs. Afterwards I wanted to go to the bathroom, when I saw a girl being pushed towards the wall by the cleaning lady. The girl had just gone to the wrong bathroom and she was grabbed by the woman and slammed to the wall!! The bouncer came and grabbed the girl and pulled her to the exit… I have no words, that was really unfair. Apparently that same woman had grabbed other girls and even punched one. Overall the most horrible experience I’ve had at a club. DONT GO THERE!!!

  • 1/5 deathendz 4 years ago on Google
    if I could give less than 1 star I would. Place didn't let me in because they assumed I 'took something before I went there' (I didn't). Bouncers didn't let me in even after repeated attempts at queueing claiming I was "too drunk'. When my friends tried to get me into the club they were threatened to get kicked out too. I was dressed well, I was behaving well, and I paid for a ticket days before I even got to the club. Horrible staff, horrible club,.

  • 1/5 Christy C. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Worst club ever sincere. It is a club that does not want to behave like a club. You get kicked out of every conceivable situation you expect in a club (drunk, puke). Price does not weigh up against the club at all. Very very expensive and totally not worth it. (Original) Slechtste club ooit oprecht. Het is een club die zich niet wilt gedragen als een club. Om elke bedenkbare situatie die je in een club verwacht ( dronken, kots ) word je eruit getrapt. Prijs weegt totaal niet op tegen de club. Zeer zeer duur en totaal niet waard.

    Bouncers were disrespectful and actively in search of a fight. There was zero joy remaining in the eyes of the wardrobe staff which also resulted in an almost impressive slow working pace. Three hours before closing, the bartenders told us there was no wine and beer left and that we had to start drinking cocktails (probably more lucrative). Towards the end of the evening, the restroom attendant decided it was a good idea to fully close the toilet before the club itself closed. Also not recommended for people that are not looking for permanent tinnitus.

    Ordered three tables with multiple bottles. One friend of mine drank a bit too much and guess what? We all got kicked out (20 persons) for no real reason. And yes we paid for everything but had to end our night around 3am.

    (Translated by Google) The prices for drinks were on the high side. The DJ seemed impatient and played a different song almost every half minute. It was not worth the € 10 entry fee. (Original) De prijzen voor drank waren aan de hoge kant. De DJ leek ongeduldig en draaide zowat elke halve minuut een ander nummer. Het was de €10 entree niet waard.

  • 2/5 John S. 6 months ago on Google
    Very bad DJ's, everyone can be "DJ" in theese days, simply put USB and mix (steal) songs, genres that has nothing to do with common sense, in the dressing room they take 1.5€, the ticket says 1€, the music is very very loud, probably 110 decibels for such a small space, and quite a bit more expensive compared to last year at ADE. the security guards were polite, they let you out to light a cigarette and back again...

    (Translated by Google) Super Club. The best girls can be found here! forget Escape / Air etc. Too bad I did not come in with a friend, he was too drunk. What is understandable is nobody wants a stupid dude in a tight space. Most quarrels are caused by drunken bosses. (Original) Super Club. De leukste meiden zijn hier te vinden! vergeet Escape/Air etc. Jammer dat ik met een vriend niet naar binnen kwam, hij was te dronken. Wat begrijpelijk is niemand heeft zin in een stomdronken dude in een krappe ruimte. De meeste ruzies worden door dronken mafkezen veroorzaakt.

    The woman working in the club and the guards were so agressive and rude. In less than 10 minutes two security guards took me from my feet and hands and pulled me throw the stairs. All this unjust situation just to try to get in the close men toilete, because the women’s one was full. This kind of situation’s can’t continue happening. This security has to immediately change. We’re not feeling safe when we’re going to clubs like Nova. How can we feel safe in a place where we’re so stigmatize by our gender, than we end up in such a violence situation?

    THE WORST NIGHTCLUB IN AMSTERDAM. Simply put the bouncers here are impatient, rude, aggressive, and COMPLETELY unreasonable. The cue was still packed two hours after opening people waiting ages to only get denied in a matter of seconds without reasonable explanation. So after waiting 1.5 hours to get in I made it inside after the rudest interaction with a bouncer. 5 minutes in one friend gets grabbed by the shoulder and shoved out of the club for wearing a backpack, and another female friend gets pushed down the stairs and then out of the entrance of the club. Club was empty by 01:30 AM. The worst service I have ever seen for a dead club, please go anywhere but here.

    IF I could give less then 1 star I would have, HORRIBLE STAFF they didn't allow my friends to enter even though it was a private birthday party and the host was arguing with the bouncer to let his friends in they wouldnt. staff pushed me when i tried to approach for a second try even though i had all credentials in order and had paid 15 euros to get inside. worst club in ams, hope they shut down.

    Awful Experience - Zero stars With over 18 years attending music venues for a wide variety of events, I can honestly say that this is the worst venue I have ever visited! We were supposed to be watching the Colorize event as part of this week’s ADE. As an avid fan of a number of the artists on the Colorize label, this event was expected to be one of the highlights of my trip to Amsterdam. Whilst I had read some pretty damning reviews of the venue prior to attending, I wasn’t expecting…. The trouble started as soon as we arrived in the entry queue, with staff and security treating customers like cattle in a pen, seemingly letting only one person enter the premises every five minutes. When my friends and I haphazardly managed to reach the front of the queue, we were told that ID and tickets needed to be presented. Unfortunately one of my friends only had a photo of his passport on his phone (we’re in our mid 30’s) and upon telling security, they tried to turn away the full group. Eventually one of the group had to leave (over 20 Euros for the ticket down the drain) and we were allowed to enter. An older couple (40’s) were also turned away for not having ID. Upon entry to the club, you HAVE to put your coat into the cloakroom and pay €1,50 for the privilege. Whilst this is not a great sum of money, given the rigmarole to enter the club in the first place, plus the rude and arrogant manner of staff up to this point, the experience had already been ruined. We arrived inside just in time to see Klur whom I was most looking forward to from the lineup. Unfortunately, most people were still stuck outside in the rain and midway through Klur’s set there were technical difficulties with sound lost for nearly a full song. The club itself was reasonable, but nothing to write home about. We left after just over an hour, unable to enjoy the event. Security had the audacity to ask why we were leaving (after being a key reason why the event had been spoilt). At this point, people were still struggling to enter the venue. Quite why ADE have allowed this venue to hold events beggars belief.
