A travel guide to the best places to visit

Sugarfactory

As its name suggests was the Sugarfactory once a sugar factory. But since 2005 is it an independent venue for a great night out as it is used as a nightclub and as a stage for live music venue events (blended with art, theatre and culture). Sugarfactory is conveniently located in the historical city center of Amsterdam near the Leidseplein where also many other nightlife activities take place.

The venue has a main hall and a more intimate area where music events can be held, and for its guests that smoke does it also have a small smoking lounge. The maximum capacity of the venue is about 700 guests at club nights and about 550 guests when there are live music events. The atmosphere is intimate and very open-minded and the venue offers a stage to upcoming national and international DJs and bands. Sugerfactory is open 7 evenings / nights a week and hosts over 600 events per year. During weekdays every night will be themed in a different music genre like a techno-, r&b-, rock- or jazz night with low (or free) entrance fees. So whatever your taste may be there is always a night in the week where you can party on your favorite music until the early morning hours.
