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.”

The Scene

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.

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... read more

Crowd

Everyone from jazz lovers to socialites, depending on the act, 20s and up.

Entertainment/Music

All types of jazz, from smooth contemporary and experimental improvisation to upbeat swing and a capella scats. Musicians vary from well-known international groups to local legends and start-up student groups.

Food/Miscellaneous

A café next to the stage offers a unique menu of delicacies including oxtail soup, warm salmon vinaigrette salads, deep-fried tempeh in soy sauce with noodles, asparagus with lamb fillet, and goat cheese ravioli with tomatoes and basil.

Prices

Concert tickets €12–€14, free Tuesday nights. Appetizers €5.50–€7.50, entrées €13.50–€18.50. Beer €2, wine €3, mixed drinks €6.50+.

Dress

Hot Nights/When to Go

Varies depending on the music/artist. The free student jam sessions on Tuesday nights bring in locals from around the city and international students from the music conservatory.

Close By

Bimhuis is part of the “Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ” (Music Building on the Ij River), a large and beautiful work of modern architecture that houses a number of upscale music venues. Star Ferry, a café located on the ground floor of the building, offers light food and drinks on its terrace dock.
