Well after a week in Amsterdam,ONE of my highlights was Chemistry at Escape Venue at Rembrandtplein 11--1017 CT Amsterdam.
On arrival I was noticing a lot of people being turned away,which I thought strange.But later found out that they let couples in before anybody.So it was lucky the girlfriend was there or I may have been kerb crawling all night
Doors opened at 11pm and closing time was 5.30am.

You can check out the clubs website by following this link:-

This is a photo of the main dancefloor and the DJ booth is at the 'Chemistry' sign with a very large stage right behind it.


This is a photo from behind the DJ booth on the stage.

The club is very clean and very big,as for a door policy,the bouncers where more concerned whether or not you had weapons on you or needles.You have to walk through a metal detector at the door after you have emptied your pockets.

Straight to the bar......... Drinks where quite expensive to say the least,I think a Bacardi Breezer worked out around £3.25,but I didnt care as I was on holiday!!

The first song I heard when I got to the main dancefloor was a very bassy tune with the sampled lyrics 'Love is in the air.....Love is in the air....' (I think it was Tom Jones who originally sang it)
You proobably know what I am on about
The reaction it got from the crowd that was slowly building was awesome.Everybody smiling & clapping and having a good time.

Dont even ask who was playing as I had a flyer for the night but I misplaced/recycled it somewhere along the way
Some of the visuals and light shows during the night where brilliant.A really good thing that I did notice was that they didnt overcrowd the place.I think the door policy worked well and I wouldnt of liked to have seen the place if they had let everyone in.

One thing I do have to say is make sure you have change at all times!! I was nearly caught out rushing to the toilet,busting for a p**s and then being asked for 50 cents.Searching through the pockets,nearly busting.....Not Nice!!

A lot of places in Amsterdam are like that where you have to pay to go, 30p in English money.

If anybody is considering heading to Amsterdam for a weekend check this place out.Recommended!!
I would class the music style of the club as Bassy house/Techno. Some top tracks played though!!: : : : : :

Hadnt time for any trainspotting......... having too much fun

Well I hope you find the website interesting.
