Melkweg

The Melkweg is one of the most well-known cultural centres within and outside the Netherlands, and is unique because of a programme that unites five artistic disciplines under one roof: music, dance/theatre, film, photography and media art.

A great place to see international and national bands and acts live. The last couple of years the program got a bit cheesy. But still check the line up or you will miss that one great show!

Melanie Rap

Great convert venue, small and cosy, you almost feel as though you are sat in The stage. Good acustics and free Wi-Fi!get a spot upstairs for a verter view !

Shaun Weston

People will tell you Paradiso is better, but Melkweg has its dirty charm, like watching Oliver Twist. We saw John Grant, who shone like a beacon, revealing lots of beardy recesses filled with beer .

Remco de Bos

If you like loud music check out the calendar! Mostly punk/metal/hardcore concerts . Great place ????

Tonia Imperfect

Good for concerts , plenty of bars around the venue and a spacious upstairs area with a smoking room. Free wifi too ☺️

Alejandra Ramos Valle

Diversity within the agenda. I behold a special place in my heart for this great venue. Supports newish artists . Only tip: work on the lighting on the stage, don't overuse it.

Jain Joseph

Very powerful club. Make sure you reach there nice and early to avoid disappointment. The techno tribe Tuesdays is the best one to attend.

MTV

De Melkweg – or Milky Way – has a long reputation as a live venue and will never let you down. A must-see on your night out in Amsterdam!

Party Earth

If you want an easygoing crowd, then Melkweg is the place for you, whether you see a band or not. That said, the ‘up-close and personal’ nature of the place makes any live show here worth seeing. Read more

Harriet Smit

Great concert of Jonathan Jerimia! Saw Jim last year in Paradiso and this time even better and the man himself: so relaxed! Perfect performance !

Daniel Caceiro

Acoustic is ok, not the best but not bad at all, but as it's a small place, be aware that crowd talking can get annoying sometimes as the bar is too close from the stage.

Jonas de Groot

One of the best music venues in Amsterdam .

Jordy Licht

Whether you're a rocker, hip-hopper or raver, there's always something to do here, for everyone's taste. Friendly and helpful staff and security. Coat check is quick and cheap .

sanne van loo

Great place for concerts and party's. Not too big, good acoustic .

Frederique Matti

Love the small concert hall . The big (‘the max’) isn't too suitable for tiny people I'm afraid. ????

Diepak Kisoensingh

Every show the sound is amazing! Really good venue for rock shows!

The Phantom Four & The Arguido

Whenever there's a surfband attending De Melkweg, our friends over there ask us to come and play. Did 8 shows there and are planning the next one for spring 2011. We love this place!

Rene Pot

In the "Oude zaal ", make sure you're either in front or upstairs. It gets very hot underneeth the 2nd floor

Patryk

Great venue with multiple concert halls and good music .

Ernie

The hip hop photo exhibit is very good!

Nick

Busiest on Thur--Sat, but check the website to see what’s happening every night. Big-name bands sometimes play earlier in the week.

Come early when you go to a concert and make sure you are in front of the crowd. Otherwise you will hardly see a thing.

Mustafa Aktas

Hot spot for good quality A'dam nightlife incld. really nice concerts ..

Ronald DL

Intimate venue with great line up

Mohammed Thiban

It was so nice place with awful music ! The prices are high inside and I had to pay 20 euros as entrance fees!! If you like hip hop and R&P music , it's is not the right place

Melkweg is more than a pop venue! Be sure to check out its theatre performances and photo exhibitions , or simply catch a movie .

Michel de Meere

Go after the entrance to the right and go upstairs, you will find a nice little bar where you can have a nice chat.

Was there for Dekmantel - Nice Place for concerts ;)

Ruth Koleva

The other legendary club in A'dam. The Milky way also has a theater and cinema .

I didn't like this place too much. In one room it was only Hiphop , not the good one and in the other room there was a bad coverband playing. But they sell awesome chicken sandwiches !

Nice and classic Irish Pub in the center of Leidseplein. Free wi-fi. But surely no place for malt fans. They only have Bushmill's. No Talisker, Lagavulin, Macallan or Bowmore. Stuff are friendly. - Ozan Vural
