Schout-bij-nacht - Restaurant & Bar

Restaurant & Bar Schout-bij-nacht is a versatile event location in Amsterdam city center, located in the Jordaan on Westerstraat. The venue consists of a restaurant area (~85 m²), a bar (~50 m²) and a front terrace.

With a total area of approximately 135 m², Schout-bij-nacht is suitable for private dining, corporate dinners, drinks, walking dinners, pop-ups, exhibitions, and corporate parties. The combination of restaurant and bar allows an event to be staged in phases: reception on the terrace or at the bar, dinner in the restaurant, followed by a festive closing with a DJ or live act.

The ambiance of Schout-bij-nacht is a thoughtful mix of classic and modern. The bar has a timeless yet contemporary design, with stained glass details, original art, and rich materials that add warmth and character. It feels intimate yet open, refined without being distant.

The restaurant also embodies that same balance between modern and classic. White tablecloths contrast with art from local artists on the walls. The interior combines traditional elements with a sleek, contemporary finish. The space is light and airy, with a calm foundation where gastronomy and social interaction are central.

The restaurant offers space for:

75 people in a dining setup
110 people for a walking dinner or drinks

The bar is suitable for:

70 people standing

Throughout the entire venue, both in the bar and in the restaurant, a high-quality hi-fi sound system is integrated. This is suitable for background music, presentations, and DJ sets. DJs and artists can be arranged by us in consultation.
