Jantjes Birthday Amsterdam in Grachtengordel-Zuid

You can’t go in with a cap on, and also you have to pay for the toilet, after paying a lot for the entry. The bartender was nice at least

The service staff and people at the door are unfriendly and only concerned with themselves. This is not Amsterdam at all. One expects something different from Amsterdam's hospitality industry. It's a shame.

Actually, not even worthy of 1 star. The staff is very condescending and unfriendly. Especially at the entrance, when you walk in, you actually don't even want to walk any further because of the security guard standing there, and on top of that, he isn't there for you if a fight breaks out; the man just laughs at you and does nothing to prevent or resolve disturbances, even though that is exactly his job. What a lousy place. Do NOT go here; guaranteed to be a bad evening.

Very nice place and Philippe is a super friendly bartender! We had a super fun evening. Belgian kisses from the pink cowboy hats!

What a lousy place.. looks like Ballorig.

Cozy club. Friendly staff. And certainly not stingy when it comes to alcohol.

Last night (Saturday evening, May 9), I was not let in by the black security guard. Purely because he has an ego and can't let something go. He is supposed to follow the house rules, but he makes things up on the spot. After being frisked, I was told that I have to put my weed (soft drugs under 5G) in the police locker. I replied that I wasn't going to do that and left it somewhere outside. Once I returned, security told me that I could only go inside once I retrieved the weed from outside and handed it over to the security guard. Do something about your staff! Make them follow the house rules, but the moment something is resolved, don't make them look for a lame excuse. We always enjoyed spending a lot of money here, but next time we will go to a place where everyone is welcome and you don't have to justify yourself like a child.

It looks more like Johnny's Turkish sauna, intensely hot. Otherwise, it's quite nice though!

Honestly, I've never experienced anything like this before: a truly condescending, derogatory, and antisocial guard… extremely unfriendly (to women) and clearly abusing his power. It's incredibly sad that this is allowed.

If you go outside to smoke you are then put in line again to pay for the entrance fee while you have already been inside for two hours, really the most shitty security guards here

Horrible place. Service was terrible all evening. For example, I received a broken glass with my beer, and when I returned it, I had to pay again for my beer, even though I'd just returned a full one.

I lost my jacket and received excellent help! They responded immediately and neatly set my jacket aside so I could pick it up. Unlike other places that simply throw away lost items or don't respond. The service and all the staff were very friendly! I highly recommend a visit.

I'd give an extra half star for the guy at the end, but that's not an option, so I'll give it one! Keep it up!!! While I was explaining what was in the inside pocket of my jacket (which I could see right in front of me, by the way), I was suddenly picked up and carried outside. After sitting outside for 10 minutes, they came out with my jacket, and three guesses what was in the inside pocket (exactly what I said was in it) (they said it wasn't, of course) (they hadn't opened the inside pocket, of course (awkward)).

I think a beer is quite priced at €4.50, entrance fee €10, cloakroom €1.50, and then the toilet €0.50—I thought the toilet was actually quite cheap by Amsterdam standards.. I did have a nice evening here, but I would definitely bring a full wallet.. otherwise you won't get far.

Lukas was super nice, friendly and pleasant

I just had shots and breezers. The club is cozy and fairly safe (security check at entrance). Not a lot of tables or space but a fun relaxing atmosphere. The barmans were friendly.

Good atmosphere and ambiance. Limited spacing but great area and vibes.

What a great atmosphere, Dutch music and singers. Had a wonderful evening. See you soon.

Once I arrived I was told I was too drunk to enter, I was told to wait an hour. After waiting an hour with friends I was given the same answer. When I wanted to say something about this I was firmly reminded that there was no room for discussion. The whole evening was ruined, what a bunch of sour bastards those security guards are.

Here for a private event, a strange bar, only served half pints, no red wine and no cocktails despite signs saying cocktail bar

A nice and cozy party location where I had my first night out experience. The atmosphere is pleasant and it is a nice place to go out for an evening with friends. Definitely worth considering if you are looking for a relaxed and fun nightlife.

I am deeply shocked by my experience at Jantjes Verjaardag. Last Saturday I was refused entry because I had a small bag with me. No clear reason was given, except that apparently men are not allowed to bring a bag inside. This feels like pure discrimination and is completely unacceptable, especially in a city like Amsterdam. A city known worldwide for its openness, tolerance and diversity should never allow practices that exclude people based on personal choices or appearances. It is painful to see that such rules still exist, and it undermines the values ​​that this city should stand for. I sincerely hope that change comes soon and that this location adjusts its policy to truly welcome everyone. This kind of discrimination has no place, neither here nor anywhere else.

Discriminatory tent yuck! NEVER AGAIN. I have been going to Jantje's birthday every now and then for years. I was now in Amsterdam with a friend and asked if he wanted to come. My friend was carrying a small ted baker bag. The security guard from Saturday evening 11/01 with a cube-like head and dark blond shaved hair told my friend that the bag was not allowed inside. They didn't do men's bags and he had to give that bag to me. I then said that we didn't even have to come in anymore and that we would never come here again. A tent where people are excluded is not even worth visiting for me. In short, make sure your security staff is in order and that you read Article 1 of the Constitution carefully.

Shitty business, we can't get our coats back at the door, I definitely wouldn't go there

I stood in line with a small group of friends but were not allowed in because I was wearing 'not allowed pants'. While these were pants that I bought specifically for going out and have worn them more often. The security guard at the door was also very rude. Very unfortunate….

Always fun at Jantje's birthday, nice atmosphere and music. Come here almost every weekend now, feels like coming home 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

5 euros to be allowed to pee one evening, really ridiculous.

So many people, so many different experiences... this is evident from the reviews. Yesterday I went out with my wife and another couple for Jantje's birthday. Security did their job professionally and we had a good laugh. Just like with all the staff. Drink prices were very reasonable and the music was great. Paying to go to the toilet every time is quite annoying. Asked if I could pay 5 euros and get a stamp, this was not possible due to policy. The only tip would be to offer this.

On Jantje's birthday you will be thrown out without a valid reason. Apparently they actually don't want you to drink alcohol here, I think.

What a great party on Saturday evening, after the Canal Pride. Thanks people for Jantje's birthday.

Music too loud. Drinks also definitely overpriced. Definitely not recommended

It's all about money, and not just a little bit. Arrogant employees, 11.70 for a mixed drink (which is stuffed with ice cubes) 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮

Crew from Jantjes birthday thank you very much for the super fun evening! Professionals! See you soon!

Too bad you have to pay to go to the toilet. For the rest, always atmosphere, sometimes some strange figures, but security intervenes in time.

This place charges a euro every time you need to go to the toilet. If that isn't illegal, it's at the very least immoral and exploitative. Don't bother with this place.

SCAMMERS DON'T GO TO THIS PLACE That bartender deliberately charged too much money. Fortunately, I noticed it and got my money back (not even enough, I found out the next day). Security guards think it is the man. I got a different coat back than the one I hung up. So it could have been with me and it is gone. me woolrich jacket. Expensive toilets €5 per evening. Many great clubs/pubs have closed in Amsterdam in recent years. Unfortunately, this is not one of them

Never experienced such an annoying DJ before. What does he consider fun and important? Just play music and shut the fuck up.

Invited by Flugel on a monday evening. Full house and had a decent evening so far. Pretty expensive place but oh well maybe that’s the standard in Amsterdam? Only 2* due to the cloakroom staff. Just make sure you don’t lose your ticket or you’re screwed. Showing the tickets where you took a picture from won’t work to get your belongings back… Rule that doesn’t make any sense in my opinion.

10 euro entree. Leuke club maar de muziek staat te hard. 5euro voor het toilet voor de hele avond, wat duur is. Veel Nederlandse muziek. Wel goed te bereiken en personeel is prima!

Afgelopen weekend hier uitgegaan, leuke avond gehad. Muziek is leuk & het personeel is vriendelijk & altijd in voor een praatje/grapje. De mensen die er kwamen, waren wel wat jonger (18-20). Prijzen zijn prima.

de naam doet het al vermoeden: klassieke klotetent; duur bier luide commerciële muziek onvriendelijke security die zichzelf veel te serieus neemt Toch nog wat sterren voor de dj die zijn best deed. Garantie op amusement enkel na een hoop drankjes doei

Al vanaf jongs af aan erg leuk en gezellig om heen te gaan . Veel mensen buiten Amsterdam komen hier heen omdat het zo gezellig is hier,dat wil toch wel wat zeggen. Vriendelijk personeel. Elk jaar de leukste talentenjacht!! Wie wordt dit jaar de huiszanger/huis zangeres 🎊🎉🥳😍

Leuke tent, maar die schoonmaakster echt zo onbeschoft ze valt mij gewoon zomaar aan. Klantvriendelijkheid is ver te zoeken hier.

Gezellig plek. Wel prijzig. Aardig personeel.

Geinige muziek, genoeg ruimte en adequate bewaking, echter begon het zeer onaangenaam door een onvriendelijke en enigszins racistische medewerker bij de garderobe.

Deze plek is top, altijd gezellig

Was heel gezellig heel vriendelijke medewerkers 🎉

Leuke tent, blonde garderobe vrouw was bijdehand en chagrijnig, zonde

16 year olds, Dutch music. Not that bad for 04:00am lol

We did not dine - no red wine😔 Dj got great choice of 🎶 Music We had a great time

Het is weer ouderwets gezzelig de laatste tijd, druk genoeg en een topsfeer afgelopen zaterdag!

Was wel gezellig, tino martin trad op. Wel beetje jammer dat iedereen begon te beuken om erlangs te kunnen. En al die jonge chicks waren echt super dronken..

Vond het een paar jaar geleden leuker,is echt een 18 jaar café geworden

Zeer leuke tent met leuke mensen

Super leuke uitgaans club. Ook voor rond de 30. Kwa muziek voor ieder wat wils. Beneden een après ski tentje. Super leuke avond gehad!

Heel gezellig, kan wel denk ik net iets minder speakers gebruiken in de niet zo grote ruimte, want je hoort elkaar bijna niet meer. Het is wel heel erg gezellig om uit te gaan, altijd druk.

Top tent. Muziekje, drankjes en een hoop lol!

Good atmosphere and nice dutch music !!! I will definitely return here with my friends !!

Downside is that you pay entrance fees AND for the toilet

Zeker een leuke sfeer maat erg overrated. Drankjes zijn abnormaal duur en personeel kan er soms best doorheen zijn... verder wel gezellig en goede muziek.

+Goede sfeer. +Gezellig ingericht +prima drankjes voor een normale prijs. +- Je moet van de muziek houden, het is niet voor iedereen.

Gezellig vrijgezellenfeest gehad!

Don’t try the wheel of fortune it’s rigged. It landed 2x on gold and they just spinned it again.

Leuke tent, prettig en centraal gelegen. De twee barren, en het feit dat eentje rond is maakt dat je makkelijk en snel bier kunt krijgen. Garderobe en wc's zitten beneden, dat is ook wel top, ontsnap ook even de drukte. Ruimte is lekker groot voor een feestcafé, en handig ingedeeld. Ik heb er tot nu toe altijd goeie ervaringen gehad

When the bartender knows your drink it's time to party harder

Beetje trashy, maar altijd hartstikke gezellig en betaalbare drankjes

Geweldig club om lekker los te gaan!
