Timeline
15:41
Grab a drink at Melkweg. This former milk factory is one of Amsterdam’s best live venues, feeling more like a nightclub with its dance and trance music. It’s the perfect pre-show buzz.
15:56
Head to Boom Chicago. Arrive early to enjoy the good food served before the show. The troupe delivers sharp English-language sketch and improv comedy that skewers current events.
16:56
Watch the sunset from Chicago Social Club. Located just 15 minutes SSE from the theatre, this is the nightlife king brought to you by Casper Reinders and the Boom Chicago founders. The sun sets toward the SW, offering a final golden light view before the club lights come up.
17:41
Move next door to Paradiso. Just a 5-minute walk away, this former church is the safest bet for a night out. The interior is phenomenal, though the main room has relatively bad acoustics. Stay for the vibe.
Local tip
The show at Boom Chicago is the anchor. Book tickets in advance as they sell out. After the show, the energy flows directly into Chicago Social Club and Paradiso, both within a short walk.
