This place ended up being one of the best places we've eaten at so far. Pont 13 really blew us away. I really wasn't expecting such an awesome meal. We just wanted to eat at a place close to our hotel so we could walk. I got the Chicken skewer and hubby had the steak. We ate every single bite. I rarely leave reviews, but I'm rarely this surprised at such an unassuming place. Highly recommend!

The most amazing thing about it is just the vast space you have. Being here feels like having moved in together with a group of friends, there are fridges with soft drinks and Nespresso machines, you simply help yourself to anything you need. To create a nice atmosphere, there is a Sonos sound system with Spotify, and also a TV screen for presentations. They do provide all possible adaptors (HDMI, VGA, Mac, etc...) in case you forget to bring your own. It is a bit pricey, but completely worth it if you want to run an event at a location that leaves an impression.

After you pay for your ticket at the front desk, you put your jackets and loose items in a locker (free) and pickup an audio tour device and program it for your preferred language (easy). You get a yummy cocktail to savor at the end! And there's a fun gift shop to peruse, where we bought tulip glasses for the purpose of drinking Genever . We enjoyed the Espresso martini and Red Light Negroni at the bar at the end. Both were made skillfully and tasted delicious! The highlight of the experience, honestly, was meeting Lars (aka "Larson") and Julia at the front desk. They were hilarious with each other and delightful with us. They helped us package the 6 tulip glasses in paper within styrofoam boxes for sturdy protection during travel. They are the true stars of this operation.

My friend and I made a reservation for the self-guided tour and cocktail making workshop. When we arrived for our reservation, we checked in and the host explained to us how the self-guided tour goes and where to start. For anyone who suffers from epilepsy or has had a seizure before please be careful. There is a part of the tour with warning signs regarding flashing lights if you walk into these small rooms. I have had seizures in the past and I did not risk going into the rooms. My friend went inside the room and stated it was really cool, but she can see how it could possibly trigger a seizure or even a migraine. The rest of the tower was amazing, and they even had hands of stimulations and games. I was very impressed. At the end of the tour, we received one cocktail on the house. They have a menu with all the different drink options at the bar. The bartenders were very helpful when it came to suggesting drinks and explaining what was in each one. Lastly, we joined the cocktail making workshop with other people at a separate bar. We made two drinks one being a specialty cocktail and the second was a custom cocktail. I had so much fun and everyone was friendly. I wish I could remember the lady's name who taught the workshop, she was awesome! This is a great place to go if you're visiting Amsterdam :)

First and foremost, the standout service sets Your Space apart from other shared meeting…read moreenvironments. The ladies who run this space add creative, enthusiastic flare to their inspiring venue to help your ideas develop. It's choice location in the inner canal belt makes this a grade A+ venue for work and social gatherings, easily accessible by tram and bike. The views ain't bad either; you can see as far as the Marnixstraat from it's second story window. Canals as far as the eye can see! These ladies have carefully curated their snacks; making sure they tick all the boxes for any kind of diet. They also have drip and SUPER FANCY coffee - don't forget to ask for a flat white! They are Aussies, after all. The venue is equipped with high speed wifi, chrome cast and funky tunes. There's a whiteboard wall (!) and if you're like me and have a weird thing about stationary and office supplies, you'll basically want to live up there. There are 3 large rooms, all beautifully decorated and themed with names (ask them about it!) to help you get into your creative groove. If you love quiet, victorian inspired decor, you'll love the Library. Would highly recommend their service/venue.

He was playing at the White Moon Party at Essence of Trance stage, organized by Dutch DJ/ Producer, RAM Boon, who was also playing a DJ set. This venue is good for music events and parties of all sorts. They have got multiple stages to host different music events. The party I attended had the stages for three different music styles. First was the main stage, which hosted House and mainstream club music styles. The second one was the Trance stage, which hosted the Essence of Trance party, and the third one was for Hardstyle/ hard dance sounds. They have multiple bars, lockers, and restrooms. They have an outdoor lounging area as well. I thought that it was a nice venue to have a DJ/ Dance party.
