    The club is nice but the blond girl in the entrace is extremely rude. She discriminates foreign people, if you are not dutch she refuses to speak in english while she insults you and laughs at your face. She literally said she didn’t give a f we didn’t understand her language. A very unpleasant and unbelievable situation that should not be allowed. The club should take measures againts this irrespectful person, she doesn’t have the right to embarass and make people feel that bad because they are not locals. She is the first contact clients have when entering this place and it is just UNACCEPTABLE. This should be really taken into consideration, no one has to be treated like this because of their origin.

    The speaker system and the lights on the dance floor downstairs are fine, but the second floor is a nightmare. There is a smoking room with barely no airco so the whole floor is filled with smoke and it's extremely hot when the club is full (even in October). The ladies looking after the toilets are wonderful and friendly though, so at least the bathrooms were clean. It's worth it if the artists are good.

    If you want to enjoy your night, avoid this place. It's very dirty place, lot of plastic glasses under your feet. The music was strange: mix of retro, jazz and techno. I paid 20 euro for entrance, moreover 2 euro for box and 2 euro for toilet. Unbelievable service.

    Rude and unprofessional bouncers. I got kicked out of the club without an explanation, I asked why but they just said I had to go. I couldn't even go to my friends to say I had to go. They did not communicate so my friend could not get her coat after I left. Vibe was already quite weird before this happened, would not recommend to go here.

    Horrible and DISGUSTING staff, the girl who serves at the entrance is RUDE. She ripped my corona bottle at the exit, saying that you can only drink inside it and throwing it on the ground after I had paid for it and calling me a “bitch"

    Last night around 1 AM me and my friends were denied access to the club Lovelee because 1 of us was holding a beer in line. The tickets were already paid for and we didn’t get a chance to go inside even after apologizing and asking the doorkeeper if it’s ok to throw it away and go inside. The doorkeeper kept telling us no and that we had to leave, so we did. This was a bad experience for a night that was suppose to be a fun night out with friends in Amsterdam. 1 star for Lovelee, I would never recommend this club to anyone, anywhere, ever.

    Hands down the most racist bar I have ever been to in the world. I have traveled over the world and I have never been discriminated as much as I have been here. Do not recommend to anyone coming from out of town (especially US)

    Although the location is good, I would not go back. I bought a ticket for a Latin Meltdown Party. We were supposed to listen to reggaeton but the music was mostly techno. The only reggaeton songs we listened were remixed and converted into techno. Plus, the ticket said that the party would last until 4AM and they closed one hour earlier.

    Went to an Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE function) to see Todd Terry & Friends. Had a great night in both rooms. Danced until my feet hurt in my most comfortable shoes tells you everything you need to know. It was a house event.

    Went to the Hush. event and there were only bangers till we left (after 5am). Absolutely loved the music. Of course, not everything's perfect like the super sticky floor after so many people spill their drinks but you gotta live with it. Lighting and sound volume are on point.

    Lovelee was lovely. Good environment, nice interiors for a club and good dance floor. Drinks were average. Only reason it's a 4 star was because the night we went it wasn't so busy. Staff were friendly :)

    Be careful going into this club. We were told last night by the female doorman (little girl with a long ponytail) that it was busy inside. We then bought a ticket to enter a club where about 15 people were present. At that point we walked back to ask for our money back. However, this was not possible. We then went to ask the same female doorman, as she had told us that it was busy. However, she denied this at the time, and we were told that we had to come back before 1 o'clock, otherwise we would have to buy a new ticket... We arrive again at 10 to 1, what happens? A stressed-out security guard, about 23 years old, in a monkey suit tells us that we can't come in anymore. Why? Because we went to redress the doorman who lied to us. We then received a push because we did not agree with this and wanted to have a discussion. Nice textbook example of someone who is given too much power and has very poor judgment (a very dangerous combination). Subsequently, no conversation was possible with this gentleman, so we lost our money and were no longer allowed to enter the club... Bottom line: Don't believe the staff, and especially don't try to get a story if you're being lied to. Then you won't come in anymore 👍

    Lovelee club! My favourite night is the weekly Sunday Wicked Jazz Sounds. A dance night where DJs & musicians play a mix of funk, hiphop & house. Really nice and really busy. Best Sunday in the Dam!

    (Translated by Google) Sooo happy with the arrival of this club. It really is just what I missed in Amsterdam. A unique place for creative outbursts that you can fully enjoy as a visitor. DJs who go crazy while playing and acts that surprise you every once in a while. My new favorite place if you'd ask me :) Thanks Lovelee! (Original) Zooo blij met de komst van deze club. Het is echt net wat ik miste in Amsterdam. Een unieke plek voor creatieve uitbarstingen waar je als bezoeker volop van kunt genieten. DJ's die uit hun dak gaan tijdens het draaien en acts die je om de haverklap weten te verrassen. Mijn nieuwe favo plek if you'd ask me :) Thanks Lovelee!

    The club is good and the experience was ok however it’s too crowded all the time so much so you don’t get space to enjoy yourself but the music and the vibe are way too good. And the drinks are nice too. Except on student party days, it’s mostly 21+ however everytime I pass by it, the line up is crazy enough to explain how good the club must be

  • 3/5 Adrian D. 9 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    Surprisingly small night club, the serving was fast, the music was not really to my liking but yeah, others may like it. Try it and see for yourself if it's something for you.

    I normally don’t comment but this club made me do it! If you’re craving deep/minimal house or disco vibes, then this your place to go! We went here during their 3 year celebration and the music and vibes were amazing! Staff was friendly as well. All and all a 5/5 🔥

  • 1/5 Iuri V. 1 year ago on Google
    In addiction: When we arrived in a group of only 3 friends, as we had other acquaintances within the party, what we were told was that large groups were not possible to enter the party, however, there were two other groups that were waiting with 6 people and entered sequence, which made us question the hostess's decision. Then I went to the queue alone and managed to get in, even though she said we were drunk, since we had just arrived for the party. We traveled from Brazil to Amsterdam for our vacation and had a bad experience due to a person unprepared to deal with the public, abusing their small powers. At around 2:00 AM my brother tried to enter the party again and the answer was that it was outside the entry time, as he had tried to enter 3 times before, but without success, and she claimed that we were in a large group , and it made no sense. A pity, the expectation was high, but the impression that the club left was very bad. We want our money back!

    Someone handed in my wallet to their personel and everytime i went to ask for them to ask about my wallet which i know is there, i was sent away by a ridiculously rude woman. I called, emailed, DMed on Facebook and Instagram to ask about this only to receive zero respond. It was handed in Friday night with my housekeys bike keys etc. It would have taken 1 min to hand it to me and i showed up respectfully and sober to ask for it and despite asking nicely for a moment of time to talk to the personel inside, they get telling me to come later which i did and still met with the incredibly rude lady. Please check it will take 1 minute!

  • 1/5 George G. 2 years ago on Google
    Myself and my friends bought 5 tickets for the event last night. We arrived at the door at 10pm, but the blonde tattooed female member of staff said that we weren’t allowed in because there weren’t enough girls in the club… we told them we’ve paid €100 for these tickets, but she said “I don’t care, get out of the queue”. When we asked if we could at least get our money back, she said she doesn’t care about our money and we should go on the website if we want it back. I’ve never experienced this with a ticketed event!! Very unprofessional. We then back back 20 minutes later and she wasn’t there so one of the other bouncers let us in. The music was good but charging for the toilets is a rip off. Overall decent experience but ruined by being turned away for no reason, which was extremely unprofessional and rude.

  • 2/5 Andy M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good tunes and cool decor, but be warned you need €2 cash if you want to pee, no smoking area (so you have to queue to get back in and people smoke inside the venue), and very rude staff on the door.

  • 3/5 Nick B. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty fun small/medium sized club with one big stage and another smaller one. Main complaint is they charge €2 to use the toilet, even after paying for entry.

  • 1/5 Martin R. 2 years ago on Google
    They took away something saying it was illegal. Well I’m a tourist so I don’t know it was allowed. Be aware of security they scam tourists.

    I recently had an adventure at the "Lovelee" club in Amsterdam, and by adventure, I mean an unforgettable disaster. Here I was, at a business conference with smart professionals. The scene was set, but unfortunately, it was as if we had walked onto the wrong movie set. The club, whose ambiance was more ‘dusty attic’ than ‘hip spot’, was a sight to behold. It's as if someone asked, "How can we combine the glamour of an old warehouse with the cleanliness of a college dorm?" I took a small puff from my vape, just one. Quicker than you can say 'stroopwafel', an overzealous security guard dressed like a cheap Peaky Blinders, who looked like he'd failed an IQ test, demanded I leave immediately. His motto: "you go out, 0 tolerance". Apparently, they're stricter than my high school principal. I tried to reason, explaining that we were a large group that would leave and not buy another round if I was thrown out, and that I understand and won’t do it again. But talking to this guard was like talking to a brick wall. Except, I think the brick wall would've been more understanding. Looking back, I see I'm not alone in this. Other Google reviews echo my sentiments about this club's overly aggressive security team. The club's name, 'Lovelee', is a misleading joke. It wasn’t love I felt from the club, but rather the kind of welcome you'd expect from a bear during hibernation. So if you're thinking about going to Lovelee, just know what you're getting into. It’s less of a club, more of an exercise in how much nonsense you can endure from their 'superhero' security staff. So until my next review, remember, not all that glitters is Lovelee!

    Worst customer service I’ve seen in my life. We were a group of 15 guys, all here for a bachelor party. We bought the tickets online, but when we got to the door the bouncers said “you guys are too many men, you can’t come in”. Meanwhile, other guys where going in. When we agreed to leave and asked for our money back, they told us in a very condescending manner to “send an email”. If you are thinking of coming here, don’t. There are infinite better places in Amsterdam where the stuff aren’t rude or look down on you.
