Paradiso
LIVE MUSIC, CLUB
Worship rock and roll in a gorgeous old church. Artists from The Roots to Lady Gaga rock
the Main Hall while you wonder if the stained-glass windows just might shatter. Midweek
club nights with low cover charges lure the young and the restless, while the Small Hall up-
stairs provides an intimate venue to see up-and-coming bands from around the world.

Melkweg
The 'Milky Way' - it's housed in a former dairy - is a dazzling galaxy of diverse music.
One night it's reggae or punk, the next night heavy metal lures in the leather-jacketed biker
crowd. Dance nights might spin electronica in one room and '90s rock in the other. Check
the website for cutting-edge cinema and theatre offerings, too.

Jazz Café Alto
JAZZ
Smack in Amsterdam's touristy heart is this renowned gem of a jazz club. It's so small that
you feel as though you're part of the musical conversation between the band members.
Tuesdays mean salsa and Latin jazz. Doors open at 9pm but music starts around 10pm - get
there early if you want to snag a seat.
