Panama
Hip, trendy, the latest expensive place where you MUST be seen. Cafe-restaurant serves tasty tidbits, the dance studio is happening and the theatre-nightclub has a swanky champagne bar. Located out in the northeast part of Amsterdam facing Hei Ij and Ijhaven, near the cruise ship passenger terminal. Web site offers lots of flash and animation, as well as more info.
Supper Club: Lounge
The more I hear about this place the less desire I have to go there. Everyone says it’s THE place for rich and snobby people who will glare at you with open hostility if you aren’t wearing the latest designer fashions. Stories circulate about items being pilfered from their coatcheck and unsympathetic management whose only concern seems to be gouging large amounts of guilders from your pocket.
Guests lounge in beds & order food & drinks at this eatery, bar & performance space.
If you are looking for attitude, here it is!
Item
Now permanently closed.
Formerly the Time, just the name is changed. Closed Mondays, Reggae night is Tuesday, Wednesday’s Fusion, numerous DJ’s keep the scene always interesting at this long-time Amsterdam favourite. What a convenient location, right there in the middle of it all! Have a groovy Time, or Item, or whatever.

Beurs van Berlage
Formerly the Stock Exchange, now a performance hall and exhibition space of note for it’s Amsterdam School architecture, since it was designed by the style’s founder, Hendrik Petrus Berlage (1856- 1934).
