Bitterzoet

I love Bitterzoet! This is such a cool place for going out to dance or to gigs. It is located in a nice lively area of the city centre close to Central Station. Bitterzoet is kinda small which gives this nice intimate feeling to it. The place is decorated with graffiti, some vintage stuff for décor and the smoke room has awesome chesterfield couches, great for chilling (I don’t smoke myself though). Also there are stained glass windows, which reminds you that Bitterzoet is linked to Paradiso.
They have two bars, down stairs next to the stage and on the first floor (this one is way less crowded!!). The prices of the drinks are great and your beer is actually kinda big. The staff is very friendly and works fast which is nice. You never have to wait long at the bar. Awesome place with awesome people and one of the nicest music venues I know in Amsterdam.

HUGE fan of Bitterzoet.
For such a small venue (read: great view of the stage from the whole venue) the sound is AMAZING. They’ve put some time and money into their sound system and they have killer guys on the audio decks. NICE work!
The place feels like a tiny church inside, complete with stained glass windows (albeit with pictures of naked women and men). Bartenders are fast. The place is small so get there early to ensure you’re right in the front.
Great spot for a concert. Hook it up!

This was an amazing night! The party was of the hook! BBQ + R. Kelly special; everyone was having a good time! Good place to be if you like to see Dutch «celebrities».

Graffiti and hiphop. Good vibe.

Bitterzoet is a quite alternative club, with the looks of an old living room. They offer really divers nights, ranging from electronic house to oldskool hiphop and reggae.
Upstairs you can hang out, play pool or look down on the dancing crowd.
Not too populair among students. More visited by locals, expads, tourists… people enjoying the good life!

Das Bitterzoet ist Club, Bar und Bühne.
Es gibt eigentlich jeden Abend ein anderes Programm und das ist gut gemischt, von HipHop über Reggae oder House.
Ziemlich klein, aber eine nette Atmosphäre, am Wochenende waren immer lange Schlangen vor der Tür und man knüpft auf jeden Fall schnell Kontakte.
Einlass wird einem erst ab 21 gewährt und manchmal hat der Türsteher auch schlechte Laune
Trotzdem: Empfehlenswert, da mal vorbei zu schauen.
