Jantjes verjaardag

Jantjes verjaardag, or Johnny’s birthday in English, is a well-known club in Amsterdam as it already exists for over 25 years. When you come to Jantjes verjaardag you will experience one big party with a lot of happy music and alcohol. This is probably not the best nightclub in Amsterdam, but it absolutely belongs on this list because this discotheque has all the ingredients to bring you and your friends a great night out with a lot of fun.

This party cafe is one-of-a-kind in Amsterdam and has three different themed areas, but all feel a bit like a birthday-, carnival-, brown café-, student- and apres-ski party mixed together. Their capacity is over 600 party people, so try to imagine how big this “birthday” party becomes when the club gets full.

The music that is played ranges from sing along songs, German schlager music, dance music and reggaeton to international party hits and even Dutch singers that come here to perform live. These live performances and the happy party music attracts relatively young local students, but also some curious tourists that like to join the Amsterdam birthday party. From Thursday to Saturday there are various themed party nights. At most of these evenings is the entrance for free when you come in early.
