The audience is mixed and the performances are in general good. Sometimes wheather can be challenge, but performers can be creative by inviting the audience on stage. Tip.

Good selection of teas, coffees, drinks, and even smoothies. I usually have their salmon and eggs breakfast, and it's delicious. The internet connect here is BLAZING fast, which has been great, considering I deal with large file transfers. I've been here multiple times and have been able to stay for hours with solid focus. It does get busy around dinner time, though.

Looking for a great way to spend a couple hours on any evening in Amsterdam...and not like "that"?…read more This is the place. Burlesque dinner show is worth it. While the food is nothing to quite write home about, it is good and you wont leave hungry! Decent bottles of wine for surprisingly good prices. Main attraction, however, is the entertainment. The MC looks like a more attractive version of your grandma, but it's charming, she's funny and engaging with the crowd, and works the room with effortless ease. Main performer is beautiful and knows what she's doing with burlesque - a real pro. And if (when?) you get invited to join that table of two attractive "sisters," visiting from "Australia,"...word to the wise: just remember...you ARE in Amsterdam.

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.

With spectacular decor on wheels/rails, huge projector screens is the best theater production in NL. It is a must for everyone.

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"

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.
