    Absolutely amazing music, which made it a shame that the crowd was not dancing at all and instead was harassing the small population of women that was there. Felt quite unsafe in this club (and i read from reviews that this happens more often in this club). Really really a shame cause the music was fantastic, just wish the crowd would let me dance in peace :/

    Best club of Antwerp with the best names throughout the year for sure. The club is based inside a bridge under the train rails. This really gives you a bunker underground feeling which perfectly matches with some techno beats. Overall there is a lot of house and techno names, but from time to time there are hiphop and RnB nights. The entrance usually is around 15 euros which is ok, bit expensive but payable. Though, the thing that really bothers me that they really need to charge for going to the toilet.. Please Ampere, be a bit human and get rid of the toilet fee, because everyone dislikes it. The lockers are a good idea but always a hassle to exchange my change to a 2 euro coin. Would be good if there was a coin changer. Fix this and it’ll get more five stars. 😊

    Hey everyone who comes across this place via Google: don't rely on the opening times and info you see here on Google Maps. We went to the spot, thinking it was open, but it was closed! Turns out, a few others also got stuck in the same situation. The real deal is on their website and app – that's where you'll get accurate details about events, opening dates, and tickets. Don't waste your time heading there without checking them out first!

    I'm unsure how to best convey my emotions about this club... It's all right, but it could be a lot more, with some simple improvements. The positives: - Great lighting - Above average sound system The negatives: - Heat problems: The club's air con/ventilation is just not sufficient, it can't keep up when the club gets packed (as it often is). Hell, even when not at full capacity temperatures get uncomfortably (and unsafely) high. Not a good environment to dance in for a whole night. - Bar service: The bar service is extremely inefficient, I've seen worse and I've seen better. You can end up waiting for 15 minutes if you don't make yourself be seen, the crowd will often be very pushy and the personnel isn't able to keep track who was there first. Not the end of the world, but there's places that manage to do it better, especially since it's a tokens system, not cash at the bar. - The smoker's room: While quite atmospheric, it suffers even more from a lack of ventilation. The stairs leading up to the room are extremely slippery and crowded (the latter is difficult to solve, as expanding the room would be hard/impossible) - Lockers: 2 Euro lockers which are broken -way too often-, without a way to change currency (they have a machine that's been broken for ? time now). Quite inconvenient, every time it's a bunch of people going 'Do you have 2 euro? Do you have 2 euro? Do you...". The mixed: - The crowd: We've had amazing nights here, with crowds that are extremely respectful, but that's not the 'general experience'. As we started visiting the club monthly with a group of friends, it became clear that there's a lot of unsavory types frequenting the club as well. We've had nights where we collectively decided to go back home because of girls being bothered left and right, followed around the club, even while being in a group with a bunch of fellas. It's a difficult problem to solve, but I'll say this much: Many of the girls we go to the club with feel unsafe there, more so than some other clubs we frequent. All in all we've decided we've had it with Ampere for a while, the line-ups are very tempting, but 2/3 nights end up disappointing more people than they please, either because of heating issues to the extent that people feel like they'll faint (and unlike what Ampere claims, this is not a 'once in a while' type issue). Hoping the club improves in time, I'll probably go back now and then.

    Good sound system and location. Uncomfortably hot inside, overpriced drinks (3.50 for a beer??), you have to pay to use the toilets,... Only come if there are artists you really want to see

    The most beautiful club I visited and I, my girlfriend and my friends enjoyed it there. I loved it and kept my club card to go back there every week. I advise everyone to visit the place. It's so cool. I advise my Gulf friends to visit the place. Note that the prices there are excellent and very reasonable

    Just left this club and WOW! The space is awesome, the app is super handy and makes for easy drink orders. I had a lot of issues with some of the lockers, the bouncer was a lot of help. I could have waited around for a refund, but wanted to just go dance. The crowd was great. We didn’t have to pay for the toilet either. 10/10 would recommend. We went to VAAG last night and it was full of rude children.. literally. This club is the one to visit if in Antwerp! Can’t wait to return! ❤️

    Amazing party venue under the train tracks in Antwerp. Easy accessible by public transport. Good sound system. Cool vibes. Check the party overview on their website.

    Highly not reccomended! Ventilation is disgusting. Its impossible to dance without getting sweat in 10 min. Also the management doesn't have any idea about customer relationships service. Security is super rude to people. When I simply asked if I can change my dress in the toilet, they told me to get the verification of the boss of security! Just wow. Is it a club or the office of president??

    If you want a club where you'll overpay your entry (+15€), where you'll be sweating your ears off due to poor to none ventilation on the dance floor with shirtless people scrubbing to you, THAT WILL CHARGE YOU 0.50€ TO GO TO THE TOILET (only cash) and where you can't pay the drink with cash (only through an App)... This is your place to go!

    Atmosphere awesome! Music awesome! Buying drinks and service in general, worst I have ever experienced. 45 minutes to buy a drink because of some app. App only for drinks, cash only for WC… If you dont spend all the money you put into the app, you cant get them back.

  • 1/5 Nanne K. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    you have to buy individual coins for drinks and lockers. they charged me far too late for what was needed. Furthermore, nice club and good music. nice people come here!

    At central station. A club with nice visitors, who enjoys the music and like to shake off their stress with dance. Good and famous djs filled up the events. Big dance floor with self locker (2€). Toilet has "all night option"(2€).😊

    Lovely club, but just cannot get over that they charge for the use of the toilet. Ryanair eat your heart out, these boys make you look like amateurs. Ladies and gents its innovation at its finest, they also make you exchange your legally transferable money for friggin tokens to use at the bar. Maybe its faster but didn't really seem like it. Still lovely tunes, so 3 stars

    Ampere is a nice club, although it's more for the diverce programming than for the organisation of the club. I was there when World famous DJ Dave Clark and Belgian-Bulgarian DJ Gabriella Vergilov were doing the turntables. The sets were extraordinary. One important bad point: a friend was removed because he lit up a joint in the smoking room. Stop this childish policy please!

    New Payment system is horrible. Also a staf member said he would help my drunk friend get some money on the Ampere app (which is now the only way to pay for drinks). And he charged him 75 euros worth of club credit when he wanted to have just 2-3 drinks. Obviously taking advantage of him. We used to come to Ampere every 2 weeks. We are not coming back.

    A fun place to visit. Yet, this evening there were several things less powitive. Busy cue for getting 'coins' or using the in house app for drinks. Drinks were sold out so limited choice there. No relaxing space to have easy chats with people, volume is higher (bring your own hearing peotection as sold out). Music set this evening was a bit monotonous, yet can be better depending on the dj.

    You have to use their own paymeny system by either putting money on a card at a register that has a gigantic queue and moves incredibly slowly or through their app, but there is no service inside so its not working most of the time.. on top of that everything is wildly expensive

    Do you dilute your beer? Last weekend I came for drinks for more than 30 euros and I didn't even feel like I was tipsy.

  • 1/5 Mary L. 5 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    If I could, I would give 0 stars. I just spent 12,50€ for two small shots. Thats absolute scamming and I would never go here again. As a student I'm really shocked... and the music was also not convincing. The entry was 15€ and I'm really disapponted.

  • 1/5 Paula C. 5 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Witnessed 3 fights in the space of 15 minutes, part of the problem was the security and on top of that to get tokens and drinks you will be spending at least an 1hour. Complete mess and felt super unsafe

    Bouncers are crazy agressieve and heavily under the influence. Multiple people, including myself were thrown out and attacked without any warning or clarification. Not just thrown, but beaten up. I was bleeding and my face has cuts in it. And this did not only happen to me.

    Been going to techno parties for years in Antwerp and have been to all of the clubs (from what I can gather). Ampere reins king of Antwerp when it comes to a solid club with good names. Everything is new and functional, good lockers to put your jackets away, bathrooms that work and a separate smoking area inside.

  • 4/5 Naomie R. 2 years ago on Google
    You haven’t experienced the Antwerp nightlife if you haven’t been to Ampere. Sound system and lighting is amazing, always good dj’s playing here.

  • 1/5 Alexander A. 5 months ago on Google
    Extremely rude security. No tap water in a bar, therefore you forced to stay in artificially created queue to the toilet.

    Nice place to dance if you like Techno. Bad point: You have to pay with their app or buy a card there for 1€.

  • 1/5 Bart D. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfriendly staff. Aggressive security. You can only pay with there own app, obligated to download. Extra transaction fee on every consumption.

  • 5/5 Nikola R. 1 year ago on Google
    If you know the underground scene of house, techno and minimal sound, Ampere is the place to visit. A huge space that is well organized with a stage, bars and a smoking area. The sound was great during the evening and the light system totally blew me away! Cheap lockers for 2 euros and a super easy way to buy drinks through the club's private app! Real underground experience

  • 1/5 Alisa I. 1 year ago on Google
    Have to download the app to go to the toilet or buy some water. Been waiting in the queue for 1h20m to enter. Do not recommend for women as you will pee yourself because of the hassle with the app. Ridiculous.

    (Translated by Google) Club that we liked a lot, in a charming place under the train tracks, dark, full of smoke as soon as we arrived (on the post), smoking room upstairs, very good atmosphere, somewhat improvable sound (but good), nice staff. You have to pay to go to the service, either 50 cts each time or € 2 overnight (I used the second option), reasonable prices to know where you are, I think remember that € 4 beer. Anyway, we would repeat. (Original) Club que nos gustó bastante, en un sitio con encanto bajo las vías del tren,oscuro,cargado de humo nada más llegar (a posta), sala de fumadores arriba, muy buen ambiente,sonido algo mejorable (pero bien), personal agradable. Hay que pagar por ir al servicio, o bien 50 cts cada vez o 2€ durante toda la noche (utilicé la segunda opción), los precios razonables para saber donde estás , creo recordar que 4 € la cerveza. en fin , repetiríamos.

  • 3/5 Kenny K. 6 years ago on Google
    Big location. Not very much light effects, slow drink service, long waiting line at the restrooms. Good people

  • 5/5 Mindfull M. 6 years ago on Google
    Located beneath the Antwerp railroads you can expect to lose yourself till breakfast is ready. Hands down the best club in Antwerp for techno! The lineup is almost always pretty good with artist ranging from the top of the charts to new and up-and-coming underground artist. If you pay at the door instead of presale the price is usually around 10€ also expect to pay for the toilet. As long as you don't start any fights the security wont bother you either. The space is big, but it doesn't have that cold feeling, ventilation is present.The smoking area has a view over the club. All around a go to place if you like techno and are i Antwerp

  • 5/5 Bas De M. 6 years ago on Google
    The installations that decorate the interior, are very high-tech. The staff members from club are very polite. Because of the big music variety, everyone can have a great night at Ampere. You can’t go out and then re-enter the club for free.

  • 2/5 Jörg L. 6 years ago on Google
    Club location with good sound and great light. Ampere sports impressive line ups of international artists, is conveniently located, looks cool. But: It has yet too many downsides to be a good club. With a weird payment system the place feels like a namco video game hall of the 90s. The owners failed to understand that people might want more then drinks and a flat concrete dancefloor when clubbing. No Chillout, no sitting space, just 2 couches standing in a hall like someone forgot them there. The unbreathable smoking area doesn't count for me. Just one flat dancefloor, no opportunities get an overview. No balconies, risers, even though lots of opportunity to install those. Drinks are expensive and must be paid in coins. Human operated coin shops have long cues, the automats accept cash only and don't give change. Since coins are 3€ each it's impossible to buy them with euro bills alone without loosing money. Using the spa style lock boxes cost you 2€. So better come with a pocket full of metal €. The whole payment system feels rigged to pull some extra money out of you and leaves a bitter aftertaste of being ripped off. If you go here take lots of cash with you. Small bills and 2€ coins. It will make it more bearable. Or simply go somewhere else.

    Techno event - really good sound system. Awesome music! Yves Deruytere event. Downside - people started smoking inside around 2.30am, which is quite illegal. Management or staff didn't do anything. Only option for non smokers is to then leave if you can't stand the smoke.
