    A great place to see international and national bands and acts live. The last couple of years the program got a bit cheesy. But still check the line up or you will miss that one great show!

    Great convert venue, small and cosy, you almost feel as though you are sat in The stage. Good acustics and free Wi-Fi!get a spot upstairs for a verter view!

    People will tell you Paradiso is better, but Melkweg has its dirty charm, like watching Oliver Twist. We saw John Grant, who shone like a beacon, revealing lots of beardy recesses filled with beer.

    If you like loud music check out the calendar! Mostly punk/metal/hardcore concerts. Great place 👍

    Good for concerts, plenty of bars around the venue and a spacious upstairs area with a smoking room. Free wifi too ☺️

    De Melkweg – or Milky Way – has a long reputation as a live venue and will never let you down. A must-see on your night out in Amsterdam!

    Very powerful club. Make sure you reach there nice and early to avoid disappointment. The techno tribe Tuesdays is the best one to attend.

    If you want an easygoing crowd, then Melkweg is the place for you, whether you see a band or not. That said, the ‘up-close and personal’ nature of the place makes any live show here worth seeing. Read more

    Acoustic is ok, not the best but not bad at all, but as it's a small place, be aware that crowd talking can get annoying sometimes as the bar is too close from the stage.

    Diversity within the agenda. I behold a special place in my heart for this great venue. Supports newish artists. Only tip: work on the lighting on the stage, don't overuse it.

    Whether you're a rocker, hip-hopper or raver, there's always something to do here, for everyone's taste. Friendly and helpful staff and security. Coat check is quick and cheap.

    Love the small concert hall. The big (‘the max’) isn't too suitable for tiny people I'm afraid. 😩

    Come early when you go to a concert and make sure you are in front of the crowd. Otherwise you will hardly see a thing.

    In the "Oude zaal", make sure you're either in front or upstairs. It gets very hot underneeth the 2nd floor

    It was so nice place with awful music! The prices are high inside and I had to pay 20 euros as entrance fees!! If you like hip hop and R&P music, it's is not the right place

    Is not my favourite venue in Amsterdam for a concert (the acoustic is pretty awful) but you can see great artist in here.

    Busiest on Thur--Sat, but check the website to see what’s happening every night. Big-name bands sometimes play earlier in the week. Check out website at http://www.partyearth.com/amsterdam/melkweghttp

    Go after the entrance to the right and go upstairs, you will find a nice little bar where you can have a nice chat.

    Whenever there's a surfband attending De Melkweg, our friends over there ask us to come and play. Did 8 shows there and are planning the next one for spring 2011. We love this place!

    I didn't like this place too much. In one room it was only Hiphop, not the good one and in the other room there was a bad coverband playing. But they sell awesome chicken sandwiches!

    Melkweg is more than a pop venue! Be sure to check out its theatre performances and photo exhibitions, or simply catch a movie.

    Great venue w/ lotsa cool bands visiting regularly. Having to pay for 'membership' is ridiculous and insulting, though.
