De School

The best club in Amsterdam. One of the best restaurants in Amsterdam. I will miss this place so much! Always good parties, awesome music, nice people, not very friendly staff, amazing location! They created legendary place.

This review is about the Restaurant: Had a lovely evening here. I loved the atmosphere and felt immediately at easy with the kind and welcoming staff. The candles make the room very warm despite the underground vibe typical of DS. I appreciated the wine pairing, some very interesting bottles that I had never seen before. All courses were delicious and interesting, even though maybe some of them a bit less creative than what you normally find in similar venues. But overall a lovely experience that I'm happy to recommend - try it out before they (sadly) close!

Great food, service and wine. Pictured are some dishes from a 5 course vegan menu. Absolutely delicious and an explosion of flavours.

This club is absolutely a scam! If you deserve some respect, please never go to the club! Believe me the money you pay for the tickets will only let you wait in the cold for 2 hours. Maybe you think it's because it is popular. Nah nah it's because they don't let people in. The queue never moved, and the room inside was half empty.

I went with 2 more friends, paying 38 euros each. They dont let us go inside, we were waiting for at least a reason but the staff started to be aggressive with us only because we asked. It is surprising in a city as Amsterdam there are still stuff so rude and aggressive with the costumers

This place will always have a special place in my heart. Found myself at this place when things seemed dark, met many amazing people who now I can call my friends and unforgettable nights by danced till the morning. Grateful I had a chance to experience it and still enjoying last few events. Can’t wait for Raum to be open :)

We waited not to long (15min / no tickets were bought in advance.) A wonderful person in charge of the entry wanted to understand why we were there and what we would expect. All „best practice“ of clubs which want to ensure a certain tribalism for visitors and allow just a few deviations. The area inside is well organised and decorated. You have enough space to relax from dancing when needed, smoke and take a quick snack. The air is crazy fresh although a bit cold until the crowd settled in to dance. Drinks (a bit too light) were served quickly with just a few minutes of waiting. Credit cards accepted (also in the cloakroom).

Enjoyed the King Shiloh Amsterdub Weekender there, only Party, not visiting the restaurant. Super friendly staff @the door, wardrobe and bar. Strictly no photos and no cash policy. Maybe a little bit too dark and foggy downstairs, lost the orientation on the first time, it took me 15 minutes to find the stairway to the toilets, but it was really crowded and I was 420, so nevermind 😂

Y'all be robbing people. My friends and I were let in, however our personal items were confiscated and we were promised they would be returned upon leaving however when we left these items were not returned. Hundreds of dollars were stolen from us. Crazy this company acts like their for the betterment of the world however STEALS from their customers

This place is a racist location in modern days. Dont waste your time and come here. Its a waste of a location. I wish I could give this place a 0 star review. Our group bought tickets online a week ago and when we got to the door they rejected us and only refunded us a little bit of what we paid. Then two people didnt even get their money back. When we told the bouncer we were short on the money, the guy just looked at us and shrugged his shoulders.

Such a racist location. Our group bought tickets online and were rejected at the door. I have never been to an establishment that rejected me before I even entered. They rejected us simply because of our ethnicity and nationality. In addition, they didn't refund us the full amount we paid for the tickets. I am disappointed in the people of Netherlands and will fully express this on every social media platform available. Don't come here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We bought tickets for a event at this place and we got refused entrance just because our group was too "big" (most of our group was Americans). Even though, we saw a group of the same amount of people getting in. We got our tickets refunded for a lesser amount. DO NOT GO HERE! (Especially if you are foreigner).

So disappointed in this place. We bought our tickets a week before and we were denied entrance at the door. They didn't even refund us the full amount we paid. When I told the bouncer that I hadn't received my money he just looked at me and nodded then showed us away. It was basically a huge display of racism. They told us it was because oo group was too large. They let a huge group of guys in after us that were clearly drugged on a variety of things. I honestly can't believe that this is still prevalent in this day and age. DONT GO HERE. It is a huge waste of time and money.

Avoid! This place is too full of itself, and in constant conflict with its own regulations and rules. If you know the bouncer, go in without a word. If you don't, prepared to be searched too thoroughly. The general public at this place is quite cool, however, not quite diverse. It really has to be your kind of people.

We've heard and read that the place is considered to be one of Amsterdam's top night clubs. After arriving on Friday night and seeing that all tickets were sold out and the club was kind enough to notify all the people standing outside at the queue that they are completely sold out, we returned back to the hotel and bought 3 tickets in advance online for the day after (Saturday). Upon arrival on Saturday night, we stood patiently at the queue for people who have already purchased tickets. People were entering and none of them were declined admission. When it was our turn, the doorman asked us if it's our first time. We said yes. Then he asked us what we came for and I answered for a good party with good vibes and good music. Then came the next question: Who is in the line up. We looked at each other confused and then he told us that the place is for people who are familiar with the lineup and are eager to hear the specific artists who perform and denied us the access. We were taken aside and started an allegedly (we can't verify it yet) refund process with some other guy. Never in my 35 years on this planet have I encountered such a ludicrous situation. I've been to parties in clubs all over the world and never have I been asked if I know the lineup nor denied access (let alone for such a ridiculous reason). Seriously, if the bouncer is on a power trip and doesn't like you or the group of friends you came with, he will deny the access with absurd excuses. And by the way, we were not aware that we were to pass an interview upon entrance in the house rules: https://www.deschoolamsterdam.nl/en/house-rules/ This is simply unacceptable and is a shameful and disgraceful behavior towards the customers and guests of the place, let alone tourists who wanted to enjoy the city and its places. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON TRANSPORT TO THIS CLUB. SIMPY GO SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE EVERYONE IS RESPECTED.

The cafe, restaurant and club are all top notch! Everything about this place is world class. The staff are amazing and the design of this repurposed school is slick as hell. A must visit for anyone trying to get out of the city center and see one of the other spectacular sides of Amsterdam.

We ordered the 9 course menu, and we absolutely loved every dish that they brought out! The whole concept of an old school being made into a nice restaurant was really cool! Great date night spot...and there's an attached club that you can venture into after dinner.

Excellent food, great concept, super nice service and ambiance. One of my favourite restaurants.
