RADION
An industrial bliss for ravers in an unpretentious slab of the city’s Nieuw-West district. It provides you with a pulsating sound system and mini parties that start off in the basement smoking room.
It has the kind of throbbing techno vibes that sucker punch clubbers in the face and leaves them soaked in their sweat from non-stop dancing. The club has a licence to be open for 24h so the dancing literally never stops.
Open: EverydayVenue type: Nightclub
Music is mainly: Techno/DnB
Expected entrance fee: 15 - 25€
Claire
This delightful place is truly the definition of a hidden gem. It's hard to imagine this beauty being in the city of Rembrandtplein ( a city where it's hard to imagine a throbbing nightlife culture). Artfully hidden between a restaurant and another club, it doesn't have a signboard and it's gratefully missed by the crowd of tourists. Ideal if you are looking for a local experience.
Claire has in no time, become a household name amongst the locals due to its intimate capacity and divine house and techno bookings. Be sure to know who's gracing the stage and please do have enough strength saved to push open the heavy main door.

Club NYX
At NYX, the doors are opened every night to a wide array of club goers but this club is particularly known for its cracking drag and LGBTQ+ nights. Stepping into the club, you should expect three floors of Dutch hip-hop, dancehall and pop tunes.
