About Basement Amsterdam
Basement is a small house and disco club under the Heineken Hoek at Leidseplein 19 in Amsterdam, which opened in February 2026. It sits on the city's busiest square and sets out to be the opposite of the street above it: no mainstream programme, no VIP bottle service, just a small raw room and a custom-tuned Funktion-One sound system.
Nights run on a regular pattern, with two names coming back. DJ ROOG is the resident and host of Early Night, a series for people who want good music without staying out until morning. Basement x Nightowls brings its own crew around resident John Agesilas, so it is worth reading the line-up before you go.
The dance floor is tight, so you end up close to the speakers, and the club calls this 'The Era of Intimate Nights'. The entrance is easy to miss among the bars of the Leidseplein. Basement usually programmes Fridays and Saturdays and works per event, so check the listing for each night for tickets and times.
