Dutch, Down and Dirty. Uniek in Nederland. and other Amsterdam, Netherlands Nightlife Tips

Nightlife Spot: Casablanca Variety and Jazz Club

In Amsterdam, Casablanca is one of the great hidden treasures. Close to the Red Light District. It was incredible fun. There's more to it than meets the eye, literally. I didn't get to see the entire club because it was so crowded. It's one of the most eclectic nightlife spots I've ever been to. Dancing, Dining, Drinking, Karaoke (which is a blast :)), live jazz and other types of music, people watching, circus acts, multi-ethnic, diverse crowd. Ages ranging from 20's to 50's. I danced my butt off. Good DJ and videos. Extremely friendly people. Lots of fun and laughter.

If you ladies want to meet men, this is the place to go in Amsterdam. I was "hit on" so many times I lost count. It was almost ridiculous. It was all good clean fun, but in Amsterdam, the men are not shy ;).
It is also a Circus Cafe and Restaurant. Lively, lively crowd.....

Nightlife Spot: Café Taveerne De Kluis

Wow! What can't I say about De Kluis, The Brasilian Music Bar?

Well, for starters, just too much fun. Every Saturday night, they have a Brasilian Dance Party. You will dance your ass off here. You just can't help it! The Brazilian Samba beats will drive you wild. The people are fun, nice and gorgeous. Tastey food and good drinks. They also sell some cool T-Shirts as souvenirs. (US$15.00 or so) Great service.

I loved the live Brazilian band. I call them the band with no name. They just played as if their lives depended on it. Lots of feeling in this club.

Here's a special number if you speak Portuguese (em português pergunta para Matthieu: 06 24879333
