Amsterdam Rembrandtplein

BUILD YOUR amsterdam STAG

If there’s one thing we associate with Amsterdam, it’s rowdy stag weekends.

The Dutch capital is the foundation to the legend of European nightlife – the birthplace of dance and house clubs. A night in Amsterdam is one that will sweep you up in a (sweet Mary J) haze, and Rembrandtplein is one of the main culprits. This buzzing square is heaving, only getting busier with each passing hour. We hope you’re ready for an unforgettable bar crawl…

Let's get started.

Amsterdam may not be short of speakeasy-style bars, but you’ve seen nothing yet.

Set behind an unassuming door (number 74…), this is rated amongst the World’s Best Bars. It has all of the requisites of a bar today; antique barware, dark wood, dimly-lit interior and seriously smart staff. However, as this is so posh and sophisticated, a reservation is necessary. You must also ‘behave like gentlemen and ladies’, but that’s not a problem for you lot on a stag do… You’ll have to keep that mantra in mind, as the bar’s primary focus is booze. They offer delicious ale, premium spirits and top quality cocktails – such as the intimidating White Zombie Doctor. We’ll leave that one for you to try.
