KZ - Kompaszaal

After hearing about the location via the lindy hop dance scene, we decided to have our wedding ceremony here. We couldn't have picked a better place! It's a gorgeous location that doesn't need any additional decoration or setting up (makes it well worth the price compared to a lot of other venues). They provided us with everything we needed and more than enough space for 100 guests. I was also very happy that my bridesmaids and I could get dressed and ready in their dance room downstairs before the ceremony started. For dinner, we arranged an affordable and easy meal through their kitchen (delicious falafel wraps!) and had fries and vegetarian bitterballen as snacks throughout the night. Jasper, one of the venue owners, was also our DJ for the night and he did an amazing job. We also got lucky with such beautiful weather so that we could enjoy the amazing view and sunset off of the IJ river. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful location. Thank you Teodora and Jasper for such a wonderful night!

Big band was amazing. Cool swing parties, great people.

It's a unique venue in Amsterdam; extremely well preserved and clearly once very formal but now with a friendly, laid back atmosphere. I held a birthday celebration at the Kompaszaal and the owner and his team were extremely kind, flexible and friendly throughout, with prompt replies to my questions and openness to help me organise the party and receive my guests in a really nice setting.

Wonderful location, run by an engaging and involved owner who supplies tailor made experiences. Suitable for business outings and for a personal night, either for a dance class or a drink!

Lovely function room, we went for a dance weekend. But very hot. Staff seemed very stressed at times. Some food service staff were lovely others quite rude

Really cool vibe and great dancing lessons from Swing Philosophy! It's a beautiful building and interior with an amazing view over 't IJ.

Since I live in that neighborhood I have never seen such a happier crowd of young and old getting together to dance and celebrate, in tune with the place - all in the hands of Swing philosophy.

While the food is not special, the whole restaurant is seemingly direct from 1960. Friendly staff and lovely views, a mesmerizing aquarium, all in a super retro atmosphere.
