Melkweg Review

Incredible gel beating. You pay membership at the door and of course also for the wardrobe. If you are thirsty: bad luck, a bottle of water costs no less than 3.50 euros. Do you want to refill that bottle at the toilets? Bad luck again, someone is at the door to stop people with empty bottles. This is really below par.

Went for Garagenation last year.

Was a mazza!

Red Bull Festival was amazing! And security was very on top of things but very kind!

Nice pop venue! Only very busy when a show is sold out

Please come here for a concert. Like I've been doing for years.

This place is hugeeeeeee!!!! Good for concerts and big events. I had fun here on new years eve.

Nice room 'the max
A bit too busy when it is sold out !!

Very cool venue with a no shortage of great gigs. Easily accessible by tram.

The lockers are a euro coin and you will not get them back. Top location for great concerts

Entry often takes unnecessarily long, too strict monitoring. Something nice music and stuff

Beautiful club with lots of cultural Highlights and concerts.

Great music for the night we went, lots of hip hop and R&B. Drinks are a bit too expensive.

Been to a boy band with my daughters. Slightly smaller than I expected. It is well maintained and hygienic clean

Air conditioning did not appear, rows for the toilets too long.

Great Venue! Has lockers that you can put your own things in, a great bar, and the upstairs area is brilliant if you prefer a less crowded view.

Absolutely loved this place. Techno Tuesday is definitely a really good day to go. They re staff was super nice, the music was amazing, the atmosphere was pretty great minus the couple of creeps every now and then. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good dancing venue

Always top events there. Nice location with an intimate atmosphere!

People are there to dance and have fun....the vibe is electric!!

Super club. Saturday is hip hop and it's very fast. We arrived around 1am - there was 30 minutes of waiting.

Never accidentally leave your phone or other valuables in your coat or bag when you give it to the wardrobe! You'll never see your things again! And the people at the wardrobe put the blame on yourself. "Maybe too much to drink?". And you don't have a leg to get up. I have seen / heard this happen many times. Also with people outside my circle of friends. I'm not coming here anymore.

Staff can sometimes talk down on you from above, especially security. Bar staff seem to ignore you at times. Acoustics are good and the program is varied

Nice location alone the livestock was too busy. You were scouring in cash with total strangers. Personally, I prefer to pay a bit more for more space

Expensive place for what it is but if you are worth going to a party

Grumpy staff, totally unwilling to help. Annoying atmosphere.

How can you not love this place! Been so many times & will return again & again! Great that they now have self serve lockers & thank fluck you don't have the pathetic munt tokens! Cash or pin :) Best artists come here & there are so many rooms in the venue

Smaller venue, can be very crowded, music can be very loud, and you always need to buy an additional membership to get in. OK but nothing special. Have seen great gigs there.

Cozy hall
Sound is good
Too bad you also have to be a member.

Nice concert location, there may be something arranged for people who are in line as they are just on the road at a given time. The hall attracts semi-large artists that you would expect to be in a larger room. This allows many people to have a fairly intimate moment with their favorite artists

Concert was fun, but the wardrobe crowds at the end were a drama.

Good choice of music and good dance floor ambiance.

Great venue - saw the streets here & it was an amazing gig & venue size was perfect for it

Great venue with good DJs, very professional staffs

There is always a good atmosphere at the galaxy and there are both well-known bands and small unknown bands. Always ensures a great evening.

Great tent. Good sound. Beautiful light. Friendly staff and good security. Parking situation is not ideal but it is also in the middle of Amsterdam so that is to be expected.

It is no longer the Melkweg of the 70s but .... how many memories! 5 stars at the legendary Milkway

Once centre of universe, now semi commercial platform for multitalents

For techno lovers this club is very good and free. Attention we did the evening of Tuesday night only and I keep an excellent memory.

Nice music hall, shame about that compulsory subscription. And with sold-out concerts it is very full; a little too many people per square meter

Pay full pounds, half an hour in line at the entrance, fifteen minutes at the wardrobe, after more than an hour the lights are on again and again three quarters in line at the wardrobe .. In addition, sold out and way too many people inside .. Commerciality: pay for a very lean evening (plus "membership") and stand in line for a long time, you go Melkweg!

While I was not drunk, I was not allowed in because a guard at the door thought I was. Had already paid for the tickets and friends were allowed inside. Finally I could prove that I was with the car and had a breath test in it, which of course came with the proof that I had nothing on. Furthermore, nice tent once you are inside.

Old, familiar and still the place for good bands or DJs

Poor music and bad beer. Average club i think. But of course this is a personal experience. I gave thumbs up for the kind and fun bartenders :)

It s incredible to have 2 awesome live venues at the real centre of Amsterdam with top of the line facilities, great sound and programming! I love the Melkweg with the oude zaal the Max, the Rabo and the rebuilt Theater zaal. Excellent bands and events with tons of variety! Keep up the good work like Johnny Marr in the Max! Happy

I recently went to Snel with some friends. Had a great evening! Only after the concert did it take a long time before I could grab my coat and walk outside.

Well, the location is pretty good. However, why require a 4 member fee?

Music is perfect (tracks& sound system)
People, barmen, security are very good
Location is very good too
Events every Tuesday too

Bad service, but a decent venue for parties a concert. The best thing about it is the prime location in Amsterdam, that's about it. Over expensive to say the least about the price.

It was a good and quick service to get into the venue and the people were nice and really helpfull

One of my favorite places in Amsterdam. Always well organized and hosts great events and concerts

Melkweg always has great artists / bands / musicians in its agenda. The venue is not particularly great but sound is quite good.

We were let down by the monotonous music played tonight. Tun-tuntun all night long babe. If you like to dance or actual music, this is not your place.
I like Amsterdam but definitely not Dutch music.

Good venue for live shows. Seen American band JJGrey and Mofro here last night and up close personal performance. Down side is drinks served in plastic cups.

Lovely Avenue for concerts of all genres. Drinks are quite expensive (5 euros for a large "beer"), but the staff are friendly, and it's easy to visit The Melkweg by public transport (three trams stop at this place).

Morchiba in the max good sound, contactless payment at the bar

Great concerts, just a pity about the venue. Long lines and expensive wardrobe and rushed finish of the program. There is actually no time to program a really nice evening because the room must be empty in time for night programming. Give concerts more space and give the visitors the quality that they pay for.
