Chicago Social Club is a bit of a trickster on the Amsterdam nightlife scene, operating as a hangout bar, an after hours club to work your dancing shoes, and the home venue of Amsterdam’s comedy club, Boom Chicago. Just make sure you check the agenda before going so you know what’s in store for your visit.

Their terrace on the Leidseplein is a sumptuous spot to enjoy the chef de cuisine’s ingenious and seasonal menus with a sharp apple martini, or you can arrive fashionably late for one of the club nights where thumping techno or beats-aplenty hip hop awaits. Alternatively you can wait till the resident jesters from Boom roll up for a evening of improvised comedy sure to tickle your funny bone.
