It is literally like someone created the perfect concert setting a forest of trees. Not a bad seat in the house. We made the trek from Amsterdam while on vacation on the train, about a 30 minute trip, to see the famed French musician Yann Tiersen, best known as the creator of most of the music for the movie Amelie. A magical concert in an even more magical setting.

While the food is nothing to quite write home about, it is good and you wont leave hungry! Decent bottles of wine for surprisingly good prices. Main attraction, however, is the entertainment. The MC looks like a more attractive version of your grandma, but it's charming, she's funny and engaging with the crowd, and works the room with effortless ease. Main performer is beautiful and knows what she's doing with burlesque - a real pro. And if (when?) you get invited to join that table of two attractive "sisters," visiting from "Australia,"...word to the wise: just remember...you ARE in Amsterdam.

Majestic, historic, and surprisingly inclusive. While the building looks incredibly formal, the atmosphere inside is welcoming. I've seen everything from full suits to smart-casual attire, so don't feel intimidated. I've uploaded some photos of the Grote Zaal (Main Hall), but pictures can't capture the acoustics. The sound is so crisp and 'near' that you feel every note. It's easily one of the best-sounding rooms in the world. It's right on Museumplein. Trams 2, 5, and 12 drop you almost at the door. I used the Q-Park Museumplein right across the street. It's very convenient, though I'd recommend pre-booking a spot on show nights. The Cloakroom is free and very efficient--use it so you don't have to juggle your coat in the steep seating rows! They often offer a complimentary drink during the interval (check your ticket!), which is a classy touch.

Also plenty of small restrooms scattered throughout, lots of lounges, also areas to put your clothes free by the stairs. I left during one intermission to catch an early flight and doors are locked, except for one set that is way down the hall and to the left. Tram right in front of that concert house. I would recommend first row balcony for best views and feet discs or the stadium seating behind the orchestra. Highly recommended!

I love the cafe underneath, which serves good stuff with enthusiasm. When you arrive a little early, be sure to get a beer there. Next, the concert halls are very well done. I must say the sound differs very much per band (I've only seen Lacuna Coil, Kasabian and Jethro Tull up to now) so it's hard to judge, but I do love how central the place is and is finally able to attract larger acts as well. So yes. I am a fan and can't wait to see more of my fav acts over there!

The hallways and main areas are all very open and spacious. The concert/event halls all have a different layout to them, making Tivoli Vredenburg pretty much perfect for any event (Talks, presentations, concerts, dance events). The bar staff were all incredibly friendly, helpful and up for a chat. I worked here as a volunteer the last two days so my experience might have been a bit different from coming here as a visitor, but as someone who's been to most of the concert venues here in the Netherlands, I would really recommend this place.

There were were definitely beardy men there and a few poets (with and without teeth) as well as musicians and artists and the whole vibe was congenial, and fun, and creative and kinda crazy - just the way I like it. It looks like a whole lot of different things happen here - from musical events to yoga and theater performances. Tucked away off the main drag through my neighborhood, Zaal 100 is a great alternative arts space. Looking forward to hitting the Improv Jazz Cafe at the end of May.
