RADION
"One of my favourite clubs! - Lots of rooms + spaces to roll around on a night out, + I always seem to meet amazing people on the dancefloor. - One of my fave nights there is Spielraum."
@radionamsterdam
PAMELA
"A new bar which is really well curated in terms of drinks, food, artwork + music, the owners are building + celebrating a community on the side of queer. A nice addition to the Amsterdam bar scene with links to 'Is Burning', another great club night."
@pamela.amsterdam
HET HEM
"In Zaandam, this venue was an old military factory, but despite its dark history, the space is amazing - really well curated art exhibitions, a little art + design library, chill out areas to work + really nice café."
