This large, slick lounge club has been at the pioneering edge of the Amsterdam nightlife scene since it opened ten years ago. It’s blend of lounge bar aesthetic (lots of low comfy seating and tables, slick cocktail list and well-finished interior) combined with super-club sounds (typically ranging from electro to techno to house in all its forms) has kept an up-for-it, stylish crowd repeatedly coming back. There’s a sexiness to the place (enhanced by the occasional pole performers in a skimpy outfit), that comes from having a good looking crowd in a good looking venue, and NL regularly attracts passing actors and musicians, along with a steady swathe of Dutch footballers. The cocktails are made to order by some talented bar staff who know how to use good ingredients – ask them for suggestions.
