Nightlife : Live Music
Melkweg
Lijnbaansgracht 234a, Amsterdam 1017 PH + 31 20 531 8181
Description:
CENTRAL CANAL RING. It's no coincidence that Melkweg's name, translated, is the tongue-in-cheek 'Milky Way,' given that the complex once operated as a dairy. The revamped center-city attraction is now an entertainment and nightlife magnet, offering patrons everything from dancing and live music to theater performances and film screenings. The large venue also houses a restaurant and gallery, and it sells alcohol and hosts parties as well. If you want to be surrounded by other revelers or just require a choice of entertainments before you make a decision, Melkweg should be your first (and perhaps only) destination. Hours: Box office Sun-Thu 4:30pm-Close; Fri-Sat 4:30pm-3am Event Dates and Times Vary Admission: Shows €8 - €35 Required membership (monthly) €3.50
