Fabulous place, rock bars across the world are the safest places you can go. It's on the main street so some idiots will walk in but they won't stay long, the owner won't tolerate bad behaviour or bothering of the other customers. Music ON POINT if you're a old schoolrock/metal/grunge fan (but it's not at ear splitting level if you're not, you can still have a conversation. Totally reminds me of rock pubs in the Midlands, UK (the birth of heavy metal). Went, stayed, bought the t-shirt 😁 will recommend to everyone I know.

Really great heavy metal bar in Central Amsterdam. Staff were all friendly and funny, as well as accommodating. Staff played some of our favourite tracks and were open to heavy metal song requests. Drink selection was good. Prices were pretty standard for Amsterdam.

Brilliant atmosphere and prices. Considering its location, this is one of the cheaper bars around. Great music (rock and metal), great look, affordable drinks, lovely staff and 2 pool tables! Can't ask for much more in this part of Amsterdam.

As a group of women, we didn't feel very comfortable here. There were almost only men and as we went upstairs to play pool we were surrounded by men that kept on staring at us as we played. Also, men can just go just the toilet while women have to get a key from the bar to use the toilet??!?
