My one gripe, which I expected because I've been to Amsterdam before, is the 4 euro membership charge for concerts. I'm sure it's well known among locals but beware that your ticket price will not be the only charge. The inside of this venue is beautiful. We were there to see Kevin Devine. He was playing in the smaller room upstairs. They had a full bar and a very intimate feel. Sound and lighting was great. Always an awesome time when I get to see KD.

I like you're cooking, well the burgers, not sure about the other dishes. But i always come back for the burgers. Sometimes you're in a rush, like the other day, you apparently forgot to check that the burger still had a pulse. You make up for it, if not with the chili burger, you make killing G&T's.

I also ordered the scallops which were good; but the next morning I woke up with a serious case of food poisoning. It's unfortunate that after decades of operating, their quality has gone down so much that the food is not only inedible; but actively dangerous. Attempts to reach them have gone unanswered. They should take food poisoning seriously.

Although they do offer a discount for the breakfast buffet. Since most travelers want to spend as much time outside viewing each city, we usually look askance at in house dining. However, on our last day, we decided to check out the rooftop views of Amsterdam before leaving. Luckily, it was a clear morning and the 360 views made it worthwhile. The buffet spread had something for everyone and we took the time to slow down and savor the coffee, views, newspaper and selection of food. It's funny, but I think the croissants were the tastiest I have had with a real butter flavor. Even compared to the latter ones in France. If you have time before waiting for your flight or train it's worth it to indulge.

This place is a vibe, and the bartender, Juno, is HOT like fire…read more My partner and I stopped in to Skyy Bar Amsterdam last winter when we were passing through town and were impressed to see this bar in action. We went on an evening when it was NOT packed, so it was easy to snag a seat at the bar. This place is a treat for the eyes. There are a lot of interior design touches that make it fun to look around and spot cool things/touches like the back wall of the bar and the lighted ceiling display. The upstairs was closed the evening we visited, but the manager allowed us to go up and take a few photos, which was kind. Speaking of the staff...the manager moves quickly, and will absolutely recognize new patrons (this isn't the type of place where you'll be casually ignored all night) There's a live DJ spinning in the corner, and he was pretty legit. The star of this review, however, is the super-hot bartender, Juno. There's an extensive list of drinks at this place, but my partner and I decided to order off-menu, asking Juno for an Old Fashioned. She was so cute. Her eyes lit up, she smiled a little, and walked away to prepare our drinks. When she came back a few minutes later with our drinks (they were truly beautiful and she'd even rimmed the glass with an twisted orange peel) she THANKED US for giving her "a real drink to make." We'd only planned to have the one drink and move on, but Juno's drinks were do damn good we decided to have another round and a shot for the road. Both my imagination and my immediate girl-crush deluded me into thinking Juno winked at me as I paid the bill and she said, "Do come back." But I'm here for the delusion and will always giggle to myself when I think of Juno's smile...and wink!

3 stars for the sheer scale of this event. It is massive - probably unprecedented. And hilarious…read more The whole city lights up for a week with dance music of every ear-crushing variety, hosted in any venue that can put up speakers and free up a dance floor. Meanwhile, employers, policemen, and bouncers around the city turn a blind eye to the buffet of substances being carted around and consumed by the entire city. It's cool in concept - but huge minus points for the execution. For one thing it's almost impossible to pick an event if you're not familiar with the DJs, since you're essentially simply given a gigantic list of names and venues and left to flail around on your own. But my biggest problem with it is that (at least at the events I went to), they charged something like 2eur per glass of water!!! While also strictly policing bathrooms lest someone dare take a water-holding container near the sink. This is not only a rip-off, it's downright dangerous and flagrantly stupid. For this reason I won't be repeating the experience next year. If you're looking for a good dancing time - go to Awakenings or wait until festival season kicks off in early spring.
