Here we start with the many music venues in Amsterdam. Every other weekend, some events are held in the quite big venue of a bar and the tickets don´t go further than 10 euros. After the gig is held in the stage area, having some drinks in the bar is quite okay as a unique thing about the place is that the bar area is mae to look like someone`s cozy home, an yet there is quite an area for the stage on the ground floor.
