Great atmosphere in this small club. The Fours band and their guests was perfect. The staff was very frendly and positive. As everybody already written, if you want to have seated or even to come to club, you need to come no later than 20:30. But even than could late to have a seat. Prices are reasonable comparing to other clubs in Amsterdam.

The staff is incredibly humorous and friendly. I was completely exhausted and hesitant to go out for jazz night at first, but once I made it there, I was so glad I did! The Greenfield Band on Thursday night was fantastic. If you’re a jazz lover, you won’t be disappointed. Even though I went alone, I was completely immersed in the atmosphere and the music. It was absolutely worth the trip! Just a quick tip: it’s better to arrive early, right when they open, as it can get quite full, even on weekdays.

What I especially appreciate is their pricing—reasonable and down to earth. In a city like Amsterdam, where things often feel unnecessarily overpriced, their entry fee is a pleasant surprise, offering much more value than what you pay for.
I’m sure I’ll recommend to everyone as a must go tip in Amsterdam to everyone :)

I love the vibe here, very warm and the music is just amazing, especially the bass part for me. Drinks are expensive for me but the martini is really good. Would come again soon

Great atmosphere and really nice music, the drinks are also quite affordable but there isn’t that much space. It’s fine if you want to stay standing with a small group but larger groups should arrive early so they can secure a table at the front of the stage

Love this place. Super cozy. Amazing atmosphere. Very nice music most of the time. It gets incredibly full on Fridays and Saturdays. Show starts at 9. You must come at least an hour before in order to seat down.
