This year’s highlights were Justice and Erol Alkan. Awesome performances!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19563 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15015 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15015 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7081 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7081 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4226
On the main floor there is a DJ and now and again one of the staff will get up and sing live often to music the DJ is playing. The entire place is white and has light and laser shows projected on to it. The toilets are an experience in themselves as they are labelled hetero and homo and have one way glass in them, but not the way you might anticipate. This may make it sound more depraved than it really is, my wife and I had a superb night there and would gladly go back next time we visit.

The food is very good and served on a strange ad hoc basis by even stranger people. One of the best nights I have ever had.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4226 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1735 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1735 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4458 It is a restaurant/bar/club which offers fantastic views of the city and the IJ river/port.

The food is reasonably priced for the standard you get. It’s a great club for dancing afterwards with a relaxed atmosphere.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4458 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4402
It’s more or less the same story with the music: its trendiness is not always a guarantor of reliability, but what do you expect? I got a good dose of spiky 70s/80s-influenced dance music both times. It may be boring to you, but it is a welcome variety in a city obsessed with trance and DJs who advertise themselves as the "#3 DJ in the world".

However, it's difficult for the food or music to compete with the visual: a panoramic view of Amsterdam (yes, you can be snarky about the fact that on the 11th floor you tower over everything in Amsterdam), combined with projections all around the room.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4402
