Chicago Social Club

Right on the Leidseplein, Chicago Social Club is a friendly bar and club that's been a local favourite since 2011. It's a bit messy and a lot warm — two floors of stairs, balconies and little corners where it's easy to find your own spot for the night.

The bar is open until 4am every day of the week — rare in the area — and the club runs at least three nights a week, with programming that swings from techno to hip-hop.

What to expect

Expect a relaxed, sociable atmosphere whether you're there for cocktails at the bar or dancing in the club. It suits both clubbers and people who just want a late drink, with a varied crowd and a genuinely easy-going feel.

Good to know

It's central on the Leidseplein, so easy to find and easy to combine with the area's other bars and clubs. It can get busy at weekends, so booking ahead for club nights is recommended.
