Entertainment & Nightlife

At Conscious, we don't just spend time testing new beds by lying on them for up to 12 hours at a time, or tasting all new snacks and drinks to make sure their quality is up to standard for you. No, we go further. In fact, we go all over Amsterdam to find the best bars and clubs to recommend to you.

We've put our list of the 'best of the best', below. These are the hottest places to hang out that we could find (there were some others but we'd had a few drinks, it was late and, frankly, we can't remember much else before we woke up in a paddling pool wearing a tutu with a guy who called himself Uncle Rico). So, enjoy!

De Melkweg

The name means Milky Way and the place hosts a glittering constellation of music and art events. Stellar.

Boom Chicago

Great American stand-up comedy but avoid the front seats if you don't want to become part of the act. Laughalicious.

Tushinski

Who cares if you don't like the movie in hall number 1 - buy the tickets anyway! The experience of sitting in the oldest theatre in Amsterdam is worth it, whatever's on screen. Want to go in style? Book the "love seats" and sip champagne next to your beloved or friend or whoever. Romantic.
