Jazz clubs Amsterdam

It's probably the country's most famous jazz venue, and rightly so. It is now housed in the modern quarters near the central station. The atmosphere is quite unique, between land and sea. The program is excellent, and big names perform here regularly. The different venues offer a variety of programs, including experimental and children's shows. A bar-restaurant is on site for an excellent evening out! A true reference in the capital since 1974!

Just a few strides from Leidseplein, behind a storefront framed by brightly colored neon lights that pierce the night, lies a little jewel of Amsterdam's nightlife - and the competition is stiff. Inside, under the low, panelled ceiling, you'll find the cream of the crop of jazzmen from the city and beyond, seated on bar stools in a cosy ambience. An address we warmly recommend, and not to be missed on your visit!

Bourbon Street is, as the name suggests, a music club. Located just a few meters from the Leidseplein, it's a good option for listening to good quality jazz or blues in the heart of the capital. While the decor offers no particular charm, the stage itself is large enough to accommodate big bands, and the New York-style bar is long and well-stocked enough for plenty of thirsty shoppers. It's a tried-and-tested venue, so don't hesitate if you like smaller venues with a warm ambience.
