De School

Amsterdam


In a former technical school, with a tuck shop serving food, this 500-capacity club has three darkened stages (the main one is in the old bike storage area underground) and a 24-hour licence. As well as awesome club events, it hosts live music and stages art workshops. Minimum age is 21; photos are banned.

Summer barbecues are held on Saturdays at 5pm.
