Dinner shows and live entertainment

Club Dauphine

Dauphine’s live stage hosts some of the finest soul, pop, funk, R&B and jazz musicians, offering a surprising evening out with the intimate atmosphere of a New York nightclub. The most popular event is Friday Night Live, where you can tuck into a four-course dinner as you watch the band, while there are also regular shows on the first Sunday of every month.

The Chupitos Club

If the drinks alone won’t get you moving, the DJs will. Chupitos offers a wide range of popular music, themed nights, and renowned local and international DJs. The evening begins with a more mellow party vibe during dinner, which descends into DJ sets for cocktail hour and a full-on club night to follow. Live performances, acts and musical talent frequently take to the stage so check the website agenda for regular nights and special events.

Pasta e Basta

Dig into spaghetti vongole as the talented waiting staff of this welcoming trattoria serenade you with arias, pop ballads and Italo disco. Pasta e Basta offers an Italian menu, beautiful wines and performances by professionally-trained waiters who will sing to you as you eat – the perfect soundtrack to a romantic dinner for two or a memorable group meal.

Paleis van de Weemoed

Nothing says glitz and glamour better than sequins, feather boas and some carefully-positioned tassels over a five-course a la carte meal. Paleis van de Weemoed, in the heart of Amsterdam’s notorious Red Light District, is one of the most well-known cabaret and variety bars in the city. The venue hosts regular dinner shows with song, dance, jazz and some glitzy burlesque.

Bar Rouge

With red velvet decor, oysters and flowing champagne, this cabaret bar and nightclub channels the lavish bohemian glamour of those notorious Nuits Parisienne. Bar Rouge is an intimate spot for groups to enjoy fantastic Asian-inspired dishes, cocktails, live entertainment and music from some of the hottest DJs in town. Check the website for their exclusive Christmas and New Year’s Eve events, bottomless brunches, Latin nights and everything else in between.

‘t Sluisje

Amsterdam’s most talented drag performers own the stage of this iconic theatre restaurant, which promises the most reliably fabulous night out in Amsterdam. From the outside, ‘t Sluisje seems like nothing more than your average brown cafe in the Jordaan. But inside, you’ll be transported to a world of spectacular cross-dressing, side-splitting comedy, music and warm hospitality over a delicious three-course meal.

Scala

Part snack bar, part bar, part theatre, Scala has a go at doing it all. The result is a fun restaurant concept done well and perfect for bigger groups or an alternative date idea. The experience is simple; book your table for dinner, and between the three courses, you'll be taken for a 20-minute show by one of their acts, which range from comedy to magic and live music. Food is more focused on sharing, and the main course involves picking your meal from the restaurant's repurposed snack bar, making for a FEBO-esque experience and a novel one at that. 

Labyrinth

African Caribbean soul food, cocktails and jazz poetry come together at Labyrinth. Enjoy amazing food and verse on their poetry nights several times a month, or come for the open mic Monday nights and choose one of the creative drinks from the house mixologist. From creole shrimps to seasoned cassava, and inventive cocktails such as Angel's Kiss with Gentleman Jack, Amaro Nardini, chocolate dust, maple syrup and hazelnut foam, there's much to love here.

The Harbour Club Theater

The Harbour Club Theater located next to Harbour Club Amsterdam Oost is welcoming visitors for unique dining experiences coupled with shows, live entertainment and performances by top artists. You can count on a glitzy chic atmosphere with an international vibe! Choose your show depending on your preferences: from fun drag shows to more risque burlesque, ladies nights or musical shows; all coupled with an a la carte dinner that you won't forget.

Le Petit Chef & Friends

The interactive dining experience of Le Petit Chef is now available at Brasserie De Roode Leeuw in Amsterdam. Perfect for a fun dinner with the whole family, Le Petit Chef combines 3D cinema with a delicious four-course dinner. Prepare to be entertained by the little chef projected directly onto your table and plate before, through and after dinner. Once the food is on the table, the show fades into the background, leaving you to enjoy your food to the fullest.

SUPPER Restaurant

No need to move from place to place when you can have it all at the Supper Club: indulge in a surprise multi-course menu as you lounge on plush white beds and enjoy the evening's show. The ever-changing lineup of DJs, live acts and performers keeps the energy high, transforming the space as the night unfolds from a dinner setting to an all-out party.
