Oosterbar: Pub in Oosterparkbuurt, Amsterdam

CocktailsDJsRoom hire

Oosterbar is the basement bar and small club of Generator Amsterdam, the hostel at Mauritskade 57 overlooking the Oosterpark in Amsterdam-Oost. You go down there for cocktails, cold beer and DJs in a room that feels some distance from the hostel lobby upstairs. The building is a former zoological university building, and the cellar keeps its raw edges: brick walls, subway tiles and original window frames, set against low light and a modern bar. The music moves between hip-hop, funk and soul on one side and house, deep house and more experimental sets on the other, with regular guest DJs. Nobody needs to dress up here. Oosterbar opens from Thursday to Saturday, 22:00 to 02:00, and Generator says the schedule can shift around events, so check before you travel. The space can also be hired for private events through the hostel.
