    Went on a friday for House Rules and it was so much fun! You can rent lockers for 5 euros to hold your stuff. Drinks are pricey so prepare for that. DJs are great, and dance floor is great size

    A visit to Amsterdam would not be complete without a visit to one of its many nightclubs . We love deep house and trance, but wanted something more mainstream. We did some research and ended up at Escape on a Saturday night. Their Brainwashed format was a series of DJ's playing a very good mix of EDM hits. We made a good choice to go with their, compared to Vegas, reasonably priced table service. Purchased entry on line beforehand. First row in the balcony was perfect. Arrived at midnight to the VIP entrance and after a quick security pat down we were at our table... Patrick was our server and he did a great job keeping us happy. Great music and atmosphere, lots of room at the table for 4 people, never felt crowded. If you like the feel of a packed dance floor, down the stairs and you are in the mass of dancers. A couple of things different than most US clubs.... Mandatory coat check, men and women... no exceptions and a small fee to use the very clean attended bathrooms.

    Located right in the middle of Rembrandt Square, Escape's name is fitting to its serene atmosphere. It has mostly outdoor tables, all of which face the Square so you can watch the bicycles and passersby as you sip your Amstel under the shade. The food (mostly sandwiches, fish and chips, burgers and salads) is moderately priced at 8 -12 euros per item. Service was great, too. For restaurant patrons, there is a free bathroom upstairs. Free bathrooms are a rarity in Europe. And at night, Escape turns into a club with live music (it varies depending on the night). I would recommend Escape to vacationers because of their affordable prices and fabulous location.

    One of their best DJs: DJ TROJ

    Went there on a Friday night for the "House Rules" event. The entrance fee was 16€ , an additional 1€ for the wardrobe and each visit to the toilet is 50 Cent. The two DJs of that night were DJ TROJ and Raymundo. They are very good and play progressive house with an awesome light show and also some special effects. Really enjoyed the night and left at around 5am when they started to clean up the dance floor.

    They don't take credit cards, no ATM and they charge for restrooms, which is pathetic. Too bad, it would be nice place otherwise.

    Very good for dancing after midnight, but fairly empty until then. The drinks are good but very expensive- 4€ per shot.

    Most rude people who work here. Not worth it when it's not a great club. Not packed. Not cool people. Music isn't great. Don't go here.

    Friendly service, great food, comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Add to this, it is located very…read moreclose to our hotel and convenient tram stops. We ate there three separate times on our week long vacation.

    So good I stopped by twice on a 3 day trip to the city…read more I stopped by on my first visit craving a big, hearty sandwich for a late lunch and thought this might be a good find. Happy to report I was very right. I grabbed one of the many outside seats, took a look at the menu that was entirely in Dutch and waited for the wonderful waitress to quickly translate nearly every item for me. I landed on the chicken club and it hit the spot. I arrived hungry but could still only manage to finish half. Chicken was grilled perfectly into thin slices, soft boiled egg was a new touch that I loved, avocado, lettuce and probably a few other things I am forgetting. Oh, and a handful of crisps on the side. On my next visit, it was my last night in Amsterdam and I still haven't tried the infamous fries. I stopped in around 9:30 for a late night snack and a hot ginger tea. The fries were the perfect fries! Thin, crispy, salty. I loved. I also can get behind the mayo thing they do here, even though I really am a ketchup loyalist. Anyway, lunch or dinner or late night snack, this is a good spot. You'll like the foot and you'll love sitting outside people watching, reading your book, whatever.
