Paradiso

As an Amsterdam institution, this large ex-church is a safe clubbing bet, with a trusty formula of following on from live shows with a DJ or club night from around 11pm. Saturday's Paradisco pulls in a youngish, up-for-it crowd, while Noodlanding ('Emergency Landing') on Wednesdays or Thursdays is particularly good for an alternative, indie feel. Bigger concerts (by the likes of international superstars such as Justin Timberlake or Gabriel Rios) sell out weeks in advance. See also the Pardiso music venue review
