Club 8

A vast, endearingly scruffy space above (and part of) a pool center (snooker, not swimming!) is the unusual location for one of Amsterdam's edgiest clubs. It's regularly inhabited by ardent followers of nights such as Club Rascal who purvey the finest indie music around; gay electro, techno and minimal night, UNK; and Burlesque Freakout, a wicked few hours of twisted vaudeville. The only drawback is that it's not in the center of town, but well worth the short trip to the suburbs.
