an unusual night out

A modern Alice in Wonderland journey with drinks and bedside service (or table, but take the bed) under the guise of dinner and a show; all from the comfort of a bed amongst the company of fellow open-minded strangers.

The concept is simple: book a table, book a bed, book a balcony bed or table where food courses are served to you and performers like Amy Winehouse impersonators, gymnasts, opera singers, drag queens, nude live art performances etc etc etc step forward into an open plan floor to cavort for your entertainment without announcement or formality. You should book the lower floor however because the service is faster and the performers often interact with you.

And what about the food? It is OK but, let's be clear, €69 a head to eat a tasting menu (in bed) is directionally higher the market norm in Amsterdam and in the immediate surrounding canal district area. On food alone, you will find better options elsewhere at a lower price point.

But you’re not coming here for the food. Supperclub is ‘an experience’, it’s a package. You are stepping into the vortex of the surreal: this is less Moulin Rouge and more what I expect would have happened if Neo took the other pill in the Matrix and decided to get a quick five courses in (perhaps too old a film to reference now?). Our greeter at the door wore the same masque as Tom Hardy playing Bane in Batman save that he was appreciably more erudite, welcoming and less malevolent.

Which brings me to the service: it’s a busy place so you need to catch their attention while you can. It is noticeably improved if you are on the ground floor as the servers zip back and forth between kitchen, bar and tables. They do their best. The cocktails are strong, cold and delicious. The wine menu is good.

As dinner winds down, the tables are evacuated to reveal what was the restaurant dining area but now emerges as the anointed 'clubbing' party space much like a school gym at an American high school dance. This time the attendees heavily index towards the avant garde kids in full costume, lubricated on booze, fueled with the devil may care courage and gifted 'safe space' to just be themselves.

Would I go back? Absolutely, many times.
Should you go? With an open mind, and a group. Leave your guard at home. read less

If you’re after a dinner and a show then this is the place for you. The table beds are great fun and you get to know some of the people your sitting next to.
The staff and the service was brilliant and the show and theatrics are amazing it definitely didn’t disappoint.
Although I personally thought the food wasn’t out of this world, the show and everything else definitely made up for it.
Had an amazing night and would recommend anyone to give this a try. read less

Rarely I would start a review mentioning the staff but on this occasion I have to. They were all very friendly, attentive, warm and made the whole evening feel like a night out with friends even though it was just the two of us. The food was amazing too, every one of the 5 dishes, again something we didn't expect, to like every course. The DJ had some great tunes playing and the avant-garde entertainment had a bit of everything. I really couldn't praise this venue enough. I would recommend The Supper Club to anyone that's interested in something a little different and appreciates great food and a fantastic atmosphere. We loved it!

Thank you for a fantastic evening, we will definitively return! read less

We had read some good reviews so were looking forward to trying something a bit different.

We arrived on time for our reservation and we were asked to wait in the bar until the table was ready. So, ordered a cocktail and then we were told to go to our table in the main restaurant.

As mentioned in some of the other reviews, the bed tables are very cosy and by that I mean you are literally sitting shoulder to shoulder to the people next to you with very little room for any belongings. It is also very difficult to get out if you need to pop to the ladies.

The menu is not disclosed beforehand as this adds to the mystery of the evening, but we did get asked our dietary requirements upon making the booking. The first course was already at our table so we tried to guess what was in there... most of it was fish, which was slightly annoying as we had asked for vegetarian for one person and no fish for the other, so we expected them to have taken care of this when we were allocated a table. The person next to us also had the same problem. After having told the waitress our dietary requirements, she took half the box away without any explanation as to whether we would get a vegetarian option instead and then she came back over 10 minutes later to ask us what our dietary requirements were... so it doesn't look like they pay attention to what you request when you make the booking. My husband is not a vegetarian but which we stated clearly to the waitress but they decided to give him the same food as me all night, which left him feeling rather annoyed when he saw the main beef dish being served to the person next to him. Overall, the food was quite nice and we enjoyed it but we did leave still feeling rather hungry and had to stop for some fries on the way back to our hotel.

The entertainment was different to say the least... there was a strange looking robot walking around with a vibrator which he used to rub up and down on people, a woman who strips down and then proceeds to run around pretending to pleasure herself and a strange maniacal doctor who likes carrying out experiments ... don't ask. The best performance of them all was the pole dancer who was just amazing!! That was pure talent! There were also a dew DJs playing music throughout dinner which had a nice vibe to it.

The venue itself is quite nice and it is definitely different to any restaurant I have visited before, BUT there standards of cleanliness are not up to scratch. The pillowcases on the huge pillows on the beds were filthy and boot prints on them! We tried to change the sides but they were the same on the other side, which means that they obviously don't change and wash the linen every day! This was confirmed when we saw the staff turn the restaurant into a club at the end of dinner, as they just folded the beds back into sofas and left the sheets on and put the pillows back on top. The sofa side of the beds also had a really repugnant smell of stale alcohol which had probably been spilt on them before. You couldn't smell this when the beds were folded out but you couldn't avoid it when they were folded back. Everyone seemed to notice this as noone wanted to sit on them without putting the cushions under them.

We thought we'd stay for a bit to see what the club was like, but it was wayyy to young for us. We're both in our early thirties and we felt ancient among all the young 20 somethings drinking and dancing around us, so we didn't stay for too long.

All in all, it was an experience and one we're glad we tried. Would I do it again? probably not. It is a lot of money to spend on an evening out, we spent 250 euros for the meal and 6 cocktails/alcoholic beverages, so if you have the money to spare or don't mind splashing out on something a little different, it's worth a try. read less

We genuinely had a brilliant night at Supperclub, the whole place is captivating, an evening like I've never experienced before. Having your food while on a bed is a great novelty experience, you get to chat to your neighbours and it's surprisingly sociable. However that's just the start! The performers that were on during the evening were something else, and left you open mouthed at times!!
Some people have criticised the staff but we found them attentive and friendly, and always on hand to help. It's not the cheapest night out so if you are watching your wallet then bear that in mind, but I would say that it's value for money, and an experience you will never forget.
We stayed for the club and it was a different vibe to the meal, but that's to be expected after all it is then technically a nightclub.
I would definitely recommend going here for an experience you will never forget!! read less

We wasn't sure what to expect but it blew our minds! Amazing atmosphere. Great tasting and looking food. The entertainment was spot on and it was all timed so perfect with food. I was with 5 friends on my hen weekend and we had such a great time. The club after was spot on. There was no pretentiousness, the service was friendly and well worth every penny. A weekend in Amsterdam I will never forget. read less

You wouldn't go just for the service, the cabaret etc. but put them all together and it's an experience. Avant garde entertainment to say the least but we spent 6 hours there ans were entertained throughout. read less
