    We went to Claire on Saturday and it was awful. The place is hidden and has no movement and no signs. I gave the IAmsterdam Nightlife tickets we got online to the lady at the reception and in the best scenario she wasn't prepared to handle it. She said we got scammed as they had no resellers or partners and we could only get tickets from their website, so we'd have to pay to get in. I explained the IAmsterdam services are widely known, very famous (even have signs on the airport) and she ignored me, so I asked for confirmation so I could fill a complaint and she got us waiting for more than half an hour under heavy rain on the outside for a manager that never came, while complaining it would say the same she did. Then she said it was too busy. I asked one more time if she could check for a different procedure, as the tickets said in big, bold, red letters that we needed to check in at the reception so it seemed to me more as a voucher and she got us in because she "didn't think about that and I should have said it first", even though I gave them to her. Once inside you pay for lockers. The music was weird, the place was empty, dark and confusing. There are no menus or prices or whatever on the bar so you have to figure out your drinks under heavy noises and sign language. It felt like they were trying too hard to be genuine and failed miserably. We left after 20 minutes because it was too annoying and boring and went to the place next door, where we had free entrance and a way better time.

    In the entrance queue, they asked us a series of questions regarding the party, type of music and our musical tastes, for no apparent reason since we are people who are used to attending these types of venues. A real disaster was the cashier who was unable to balance the amounts of the tickets and inside the room there was no type of surveillance, no doorman to go to if a problem arose and we understand that because of this the existence of pickpockets inside: throughout the entire That night, an organized group of approximately four people literally dedicated themselves to looting the tourists: a couple of Muslim origin stole all the wallets within their reach and cell phones. We informed them that we were aware of what was happening and as if the story was not with them and we also received threats. From this moment on, the objective of the night was to have your bag and devices under control since they continued stealing when the opportunity arose, they did not leave the premises at any time, which led us to think that they are regular customers who develop This activity supposedly receiving support from within, since they did not appear under threat at any time, which is quite strange. As for what should have been the main objective of the night: music, three young DJs called Lelystad/Yop offered us a pathetic musical stage clearly due to the lack of experience in the three young people. The two mediocre guests: Prosumer and Thomas Hamman stuck on songs from the past, a clear sign of neglect and interest in providing their audience with current sounds; both sessions difficult to digest, very heavy. The low-level and annoying public

    A disco in the Rembrandt square. They are a bit picky to let people in. Make sure you have a nice group of friends if possible with some girls. Also study the djs that will play that night. This place offers 2 distinct areas with different music. The entrance is above 10 euros. There are lockers inside to store your belongings, and you need a coin of 2 euros to use them. You can pay that in the entrance by card and they will give you a coin to use in the locker. Expect to pay 50 cents every time you go to the Bathroom...

    Great party, I had lots of fun. Rather small place, this club is not a huge playground but rather a very cosy place with two scenes. No huge crowd, no problem to get a beer at the bar. Definitely my favourite in Amsterdam.

    Incomprehensible site I can’t find a poster, or a price, nothing.

  • 5/5 MΓ‘tyΓ‘s S. 4 years ago on Google β€’ 18 reviews
    Good sound system and nice djs. I liked that it has two rooms and an indoor smoking area. The crowd is not my type of people though. There are lots of people who've put way to much effort into their looks and you can tell they are looking for each other, if you know what I mean. Otherwise it is a nice place to go out, good staff and normal prices.

    Fantastic place. Great dancers, and really good music. A great club if your looking for a more local attomosphere. Does anyone know what genre of music it is that was playing in the first room early on last night? Absolutely loved it. 4 stars only because second room took much longer to open than expected.

    They have great sound systems and trippy decor/lighting systems, but it was a shame that the vibe inside is outstandingly bad. Tourists on weed, very rude and most of them don’t care about the house music or the lineup. Disappointment.

    Staff at the entry was nice, the girl explained they are now called Oliva. Drinks were at regular prices, the entry ticket was 15 EUR, a bit too expensive in my opinion. Music was ok and they were three areas: one with a small bar where there was good music but nobody was dancing, another one which was the main one, lots of people dancing and a third one with some people dancing (it seems this part also has a restaurant but not 100% sure). Good thing is that they are lockers but they cost 2 EUR.

    One of my favorite clubs in Amsterdam! Great venue; a different look, very original decoration (which changes every once in a while; big ups for that, it makes it interesting to keep coming), good and diverse music programming (I like most but not all of it, but I guess that too makes it diverse hehe). The staff though.. they really deserve an award! Quite the best club staff I know actually

    If I could I would give 0 stars! We stood in line for an hour and then we weren't let in because we didn't know enough about the club (which DJ, why are we there,...)

    Place is a popular nightclub on Rembrandt Square in Amsterdam. This a large club is divided into multiple rooms including a separate smoking room and eating area, close to 600 people at max. capacity. This place has a strict entrance policy, I've seen people being turned away loads of times make sure you have your tickets ready and you're in the right queue, the door personal will not hesitate to remove you from the line or refuse you entrance. The DJ lineup is quite good irrespective of the genre. If you're looking for clubbing and your DJs are playing, it's a good place to go, and the entrance fee is quite reasonable

    Fantastic club! 2 rooms. Small and intimate. Great atmosphere. Has little extra room at front serving grilled cheese and other drunken food. Alcohol served right to close (7am when I went). House and techno heaven. Only dumb thing is they charge 50 cents for bathroom access for the night.

  • 3/5 Elliott L. 6 years ago on Google β€’ 30 reviews
    The music was nice and unique but not very danceable (at least it wasn't at the 2 o'clock hour). The drinks were fine. The atmosphere was pretty cool. On the whole, didn't live up to the hype.

    Great club, small with a relaxed cool friendly vibe! Door staff fantastic with a good eye to be selective at the door ensuring a more authentic Amsterdam crowd and not your usual "touristy door policy, of all welcome" keeping the standards high and vibe cool. Music on point, funky house! Will be back for sure πŸ˜€
