Tip: Walk through the courtyard entrance off Rembrandtplein; the smaller back room is the one with the harder techno bookings. Door tightens after 01:00.

Paradiso has run out of a former Vrije Gemeente church on Weteringschans by Leidseplein since 1968, programming rock, pop, electronic and experimental music across a 1,500-capacity main hall and a 250-cap small hall.
TipThe standing main hall has stained glass behind the stage; the upstairs balcony has the better sightline for taller acts. Doors typically open an hour before set time.
Melkweg occupies a former dairy factory on Lijnbaansgracht behind Leidseplein and runs a cinema, gallery and two concert halls, the 1,500-cap Max and the 700-cap Oude Zaal, across nightly programming.
TipEntrance is on Lijnbaansgracht, not the canal side; the bike rack to the right of the door holds 500 spots. Cinema screenings happen alongside concerts most nights.
Bitterzoet sits on Spuistraat a short walk from Centraal Station and runs as a bar, theatre and club under one roof, with live hip hop, soul and funk early in the night before DJ sets take over the floor.
TipDoors typically 22:30; lines move fastest before midnight. The upstairs balcony is where to stand for a clear view of the stage during live bookings.

Bimhuis has been Amsterdam's flagship jazz and improvised music stage since 1974 and now operates from a cantilevered box jutting off Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ on Piet Heinkade, with concerts most nights of the week.
TipWalk five minutes east of Centraal along the IJ; the cafe behind the hall has a free view of the room before the show. Late-night jam sessions on selected Mondays.
De Nieuwe Anita on Frederik Hendrikstraat runs an upstairs brown bar with eclectic furniture and a cellar room that flips between cinema, comedy, stage and dance floor depending on the night, capacity around 250.
TipDoors from the side; the basement stage is small enough that bookings sell out fast on weekends. Cash bar runs the upstairs while the basement is on.
OCCII runs a legalised squat venue facing the south gates of Vondelpark, programming punk, noise, hardcore and experimental music with a vegan cafe, rehearsal rooms and children's theatre attached.
TipCash bar; door usually 21:00 with a low cover. The Binnenpret complex around it adds a vegan kitchen and the MKZ collective dinner on selected weeknights.
