About the venue

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

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 company parties. The combination of restaurant and bar allows for an event to be staged: 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 aloof.

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 spacious, with a calm foundation where gastronomy and meeting are central.

The restaurant offers space for:

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

The bar is suitable for:

70 people standing

Throughout the 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.

Schout-bij-nacht is ideal for those looking to rent a restaurant in Amsterdam or a bar in the Jordaan for an exclusive event. The kitchen and drinks menu are an integral part of the rental; we only work with our own chefs and selected suppliers. This ensures quality and experience remain consistent.

Much is negotiable, from layout and music to menu, program, and duration. We work with a minimum turnover guarantee. Prices and conditions are tailored per request and can be adjusted in consultation.

Are you looking for a unique event space in central Amsterdam for a business or private event? Schout-bij-nacht offers a distinctive setting where classic elegance and modern energy come together.
