Party Earth Review: Added as an extension to Amsterdam’s music hall on the Ij River, the boxy black Bimhuis is one of the most beautiful and upscale jazz venues in Europe. Besides the perfect acoustics, the club offers an intimate and snazzy setting in which to enjoy the top-notch musical talent that performs to packed houses each week. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide a romantic view of the city center as warm amber lighting casts a gentle glow over the patrons in the cozy red theater seats, their attention captivated by the magic happening on the glossy wooden stage. Between sets, guests move to the spacious bar and lounge area for a bit of refreshment and mingling. On any given night, Bimhuis attracts a diverse clientele, though student nights bring in the liveliest and most informal crowd, while the well-known acts draw a more sophisticated group of jazz lovers and musicians. Either way, the stunning décor, incomparable view, and stellar music that the Bimhuis offers is ideal for those who want to experience the high-end side of Amsterdam’s arts and culture. ... read full review |

Bimhuis Review
Tip from Emma:
“Unless you are a knowledgeable jazz guru, you might want to stick to the Tuesday night student sessions. Entrance is free, the crowd is relaxed, young, and hip, and everyone is there to enjoy a few drinks and watch their friends jam out in a beautiful setting.”
