Real nice studio venue, one has to accept that experimental theatre doesn't mean all experiments…read morework out. Also real nice theater bar/cafe, fitting the venue. Had a great evening, even if the play was a little unripe. ;)

No guide can fully cover all the wonders of Amsterdam. Frascati is one such hidden gem…read more Come here for the wonderful theater. There are a good number of LNP (language no problem) productions as well, which is good if you are learning Dutch, or even if you have no intentions of assimilating. The bar/restaurant is nice and cosy, even for groups, and serves good entrees, including vegetarian options. Decently priced, great performances, and you get to support the local arts scene. It's a good bargain.

Toko MC is an interesting venue as it is both a concert hall and a restaurant. The ambience was…read morevery chill and relaxed. The food was decent. I recommend ordering the Tia's nachos for those who like to snack. The wait staff did mess up my party's orders and two of us waited for 40 minutes for their burgers, but the staff was accommodating and really polite about the incident.

You can just stay there and sun bathe while sipping a beer or wine.... maybe get some finger food just to calm down the appetite :) Service is GREAT... everyone young and very very nice. Inside is a bit essential but looks very clean and nice. Anyway.. my comments are for the outside experience :)

The home of the spectacular Anne Frank theater show. The show is the first to use the exact words…read moretaken from Anne Frank's famous diary. With spectacular decor on wheels/rails, huge projector screens is the best theater production in NL. It is a must for everyone. For non-Dutch speakers (tourists etc) there is a personal mini iPad which can either translate (subtitles) to a few languages or can play the audio via headphones.

Beautiful theatre, great view on A'dam's ports "het IJ". Good facilities - foyer, bar/cafe,…read more"snack-dispenser-from-canalhouses-wall" - box with drinks for break, restaurant. All well, but it all has to do with the show. Two things play a main-role: The decor is changing at the different parts, done by a turning floor. You see a copy of the Frank's house/flat at the Merwede-plein and a copy of the annex and manufacturing company at the 'Prinsengracht' - both beautifully built. And second and most important, the play: strong actors, a mix of strong emotions, humor and after all the ordinary life of an adolescent-in-hide, in an impossible and tear-drawing situation. "A must see"

Such a beautiful theater. I was lucky enough to go to this theater back in February…read more The event started at 8pm. The doors opened at 7pm and the theater itself opened its doors so you could sit down at 7:30pm. In the in between there is a cafe and other random seating areas. The seats were comfortable but a little small. I noticed a lot of folks having issues finding their seat which I thought was odd with the amount of ushers there. Ushers were an issue here. The event did not allow photos or video which was fine, but the ushers standing in front of you, holding that light in front of someone takes the fun out of the show. At one point, I watched an usher jump over about 15 or more people in a row to get to someone in the middle section who was video recording. Totally takes you out of the space. Now the acoustics inside were amazing. I don't think I've ever heard sound like that before. It was perfect. I was in awe. Overall it was a great theater. Minus the overzealous ushers and it would have been perfect.

What a beautiful venue!!Visited it for the second time, this time for comedian performance. It is a…read moretruly splendid theater. We were sitting in one of the loges - really cosy..around 12 seats.. 3 rows x 2 seats on both sides. Good way to enjoy the show.

Because I don't go to our most lovable cinemas that often because of it. Sometimes I like to watch a movie in Rialto even if Pathe is also showing it. Just for the charm of the old beautiful cinema and to support them. They also have a nice café. I like Rialto very much. They show very nice movies. All arty, cultural, film festival movies (never blockbusters). This is a classy place. If you have never been here you should certainly go! Tickets are around 10 euros and you should pick them up 30 minutes before the movie starts.

On friday and saturday evening, there are meals available that complement one of the movies running at the cinema. No reservation for eating possible...so arrive in time for the for food. If you are alone, you won't feel uncomfortable going to this place. It is in a relatively safe neighbourhood and the audience is pretty relaxed.

Someone once described an event I'd be going to at Zaal 100 as full of "beardy men and toothless…read morepoets." Color me intrigued! There were were definitely beardy men there and a few poets (with and without teeth) as well as musicians and artists and the whole vibe was congenial, and fun, and creative and kinda crazy - just the way I like it. It looks like a whole lot of different things happen here - from musical events to yoga and theater performances. Tucked away off the main drag through my neighborhood, Zaal 100 is a great alternative arts space. Looking forward to hitting the Improv Jazz Cafe at the end of May.
